For high-channel-count modules, moreover, the multiple optocouplers increment system costs and power consumption, while consuming valuable board space. Clearly the industry would benefit from a ...

Digital input serializers (DIS), the heart of digital input modules, must operate in harsh industrial environments ... the number of external components on a digital input serializer card is limited ...

In our previous issue, we noted that the first step in troubleshooting digital input modules is to verify the power source of each loop. If input power is missing, the causes can be such things as ...

The AMAX-1220 and AMAX-1240 are open frame type with either two or four axis AMONet motion slave modules. The AMAX-1752, AMAX-1754 and AMAX-1756 are open frame type with 32 channel isolated digital ...

Now, Maxim Integrated Products is making life easier for designers of SFP modules by introducing the DS1878, a small-form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) controller with a digital laser diode driver ...

Welcome to the world of the digital input (DI), a subset of the IO module (Fig. 1) that sits between an industrial sensor and a PLC. In this design solution, we will review the many (sometimes ...

based on the Intel Agilex 9 SoC FPGA AGRW014 that converts between analog and digital signals at 64 Gigasamples per second. The company now offers the DRF4580L, a small-form-factor module that ...

Expanding the company’s range of industrial digital input and output modules, these four families deliver higher density, expanded voltage and current ranges, and programmable logic levels – all in ...

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 analog. Typical digital outputs include solenoid control signals ...

Offering support for hi-res PCM, DSD, 7 digital inputs, and future upgradability ... The internal McIntosh DA2 Digital Audio Module is designed with the capability of being replaced by a newer digital ...
