It's time to get a little more specific with what the PLC CPU controls: PLC I/O! This article will discuss discrete I/O, analog I/O and briefly introduce industrial communications protocols. We talked ...

In our previous two issues, we discussed troubleshooting digital output modules. Troubleshooting analog modules is a bit more complicated, for two reasons: Analog modules aren't on/off, as digital ...

CPU 1214C, compact CPU DC/DC/DC Onboard I/O: 14 DI 24 V DC; 10 DO 24 V DC; 2 AI 0-10 V DC Power supply: DC 20.4-28.8V DC Program/data memory 100 KB 1x Signal Generator to Analog Input Channel 0. only ...

Does the module's output correspond correctly to its input? Determine that by forcing the PLC output to 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% and measuring on the output terminals at the corresponding range ...

I/O modules are building blocks of industrial control systems used in end equipment such as PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) and DCS (Distributed Control ...

. These modules provide higher resolution for more precision in measurement and control applications. 8-channel input modules are available with input ranges of 0-20/4-20 mA and 0-5 V or 0-10 V. Four ...

An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...
