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 ...

Independent of their individual topology and application, due to AC components in their lines switching controllers create conducted EMC interferences. Würth Elektronik MagI³C power modules are ...

The BusWorks 965EN Input Modules interface thermocouple and millivolt signals directly to an Ethernet Modbus/TCP 10/100 network. The six-channel, inch-wide I/O modules operate independently of any bus ...

While learning about different types of vibration sensors for condition monitoring, I came across a cheap piezoelectric shock/tap/vibration sensor switch module hiding in a corner of my messy ...

Safety-relevant output modules as well as a logic module with expanded functional scope have been added to modules already available. Fourteen different safety-relevant function modules, from a simple ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

Electronic control modules (ECMs) are small, dedicated computers that control components and systems in vehicles or other machines. Automotive ECMs control the engine, the anti-lock braking system ...
