In previous issues, we have discussed troubleshooting input modules. In the examples, the output modules checked out OK. But what if they don't? As with input modules, output modules can be digital or ...
As an industrial electrician, you'll encounter many complex electrical circuits and drives that will break down as they age. Chances are, you won't be an expert in repairing these devices, but you can ...
In the broad-brush view of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) versus its complement, the digital-to-analog converter (DAC), there’s no doubt that the DAC has an easier functional challenge. What’s ...
Microcontroller-based systems with analog I/O can be simplified by modularizing them as stackable boards interconnected by a minimalist bus. The Inter­Module Bus (IMB) is a master-slave bus controlled ...
Two trends in electronics show no signs of abating: The shift to portable and mobile products across multiple applications; and packing more and more features into each successive generation of ...
Texas Instruments introduces a family of non-isolated, plug-in power modules with a new technology that provides ultra-fast transient response rates and dramatically reduces customers’ need for output ...
See what end users and system integrators prioritize in their I/O technology choices, such as specific Ethernet connectivity, multiple protocol handling, and high density/smaller footprint. Learn ...
A “standard reference thermoelectric module (SRTEM)*” for objectively measuring thermoelectric module performance has been developed in Korea for the first time. A research team led by Dr. Sang Hyun ...
