A key subsystem in a programmable logic controller is the analog input module, which provides a high-precision front end to measure a wide variety of sensors. In many cases, however, the amplifier ...
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are an essential part of the automation sector, particularly factory automation. PLCs are classified as voltage and current inputs and convert real-world signals ...
In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...
In the previous two issues of this newsletter, we looked at troubleshooting digital input modules. Basically, we looked for the presence or absence of a voltage. With analog modules, it's trickier ...
Touted as the world’s first TUV SIL 3 certified Hart failsafe analog input module, the Simatic SM 336 is available for use with Simatic ET 200M I/O and PCS 7F process safety systems. July 1, 2008 A 50 ...
Logic-X, a provider of off-the-shelf Adaptable Compute Acceleration Platforms (ACAP) and sensor processing modules, has launched the LXD30K0 low latency, wide bandwidth analog interface FMC (FPGA ...
Design analysis of the K2-W Vacuum Tube Op Amp’s design and operation reveals the mad science that created a commercial revolution in 1950s and 1960s analog computing. Op amps played a critical role ...
STMicroelectronics is using Class-G analogue audio technology to create 117dB S/N ratio, >117dB dynamic range (A-weighted), automotive amplifier. Class-G amplifiers are similar to traditional Class-AB ...
