There are many industrial applications, such as programmable logic controllers, that require efficient, low cost, step-down power conversion over a wide range of voltage levels. This paper discusses ...
As engineers, we often need to design a customized control system or interface to address a need which can”t be met with an off-the-shelf interface device. In the used-to-be days, we”d get a Bud box, ...
Researchers have devised a new malware attack against industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that takes advantage of architectural shortcomings in microprocessors and bypasses current ...
There are many vendors and sources of PLCs: Automation Direct, FactoryMation, B&B Electronics, and yes, even eBay, among others. I will use the Click PLC available from Automation Direct as an example ...
This tutorial offers an in-depth introduction into programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The article starts with an overview of the history and the role PLCs in factory automation. The basic ...
The 20-point controller features embedded Ethernet and serial ports, and a microSD slot. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) output and recipe management makes it suitable for small machines, such as stretch ...
Two new controllers have joined the Jazz 2 Series, the JZ20-R16 and JZ20-R10. The controllers feature 48K (virtual) ladder-logic memory and a built-in mini USB programming port. The controllers can ...
