In our previous issue, we said a digital output module could be tested by using the PLC logic to force the output on and off then and observing the module’s response. If the module doesn't respond, ...
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 ...
The D0-DCM and the F0-CP128 are new communications modules for the DL05/DL06 micro PLC family. The D0-DCM module adds two serial ports to any DL05 or DL06 PLC, using RS-232 or RS422/485 data ...
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 ...

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. has announced new modules and protocols for its remote terminal unit or programmable logic control platform, the SEL-2240 Axion. Customers can now order ...
Higher amperage relay output modules and an 8-point input simulator module are now available from AutomationDirect for the Click series stackable micro brick PLCs. The Click C0-04TRS-10 ($54.00) is a ...
The PuffinPLC Project is an effort to produce a Linux-based GNU Public Licensed Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). PLCs were developed in the 1960s to replace the complex electrical relay circuits ...
Smart, self-configuring, fully adaptable networks that connect the power producer with the consumer represent the essence of smart grids. Smart grids create a platform of robust data networks that ...
