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, ...

The modules, when used with ABB’s AC500/AC500-S programmable logic controller (PLC), feature the ability to exchange process and safety data, not only from one controller to multiple devices but also ...

In previous issues, we have discussed troubleshooting input modules. 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 ...

Pluggable relay system enables programmable logic capability in a small package. February 24, 2015 - Phoenix Contact introduces PLC Logic relay system that combines basic programmable logic capability ...

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 ...

PLC Logic is a compact microcontroller that plugs a small housed logic module, programmable with LOGIC software, directly into relays, allowing users to switch and control up to 48 I/O signals with a ...

This third party Python module provides an abstraction layer for interacting with WAGO 750 series PLCs through Modbus TCP communication. It offers an object-oriented interface to control and monitor ...

Michigan-based TranTek Automation designs and builds automated welding, material handling, inspection, and assembly systems. The company is known for its preconfigured robotic welding cells, as well ...
