Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

GE Intelligent Platforms has launched the first in a new family of VME multifunction I/O boards designed specifically to address the problems caused by the growing constraints on size, weight and ...

Acromag has released two new Ethernet Remote Input/Output (I/O) modules, the NT2510 and NT2530, as part of its Busworks NT Series. These modules are designed to be a cost-effective solution for ...

DC Voltage Input Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) are devices that convert a continuous analog voltage signal into a discrete digital number. This digital output can then be processed by digital ...

Analog multiplexers have sets of switches that connect several analog inputs to a common analog output, allowing a single analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to sample data from multiple inputs. Often, ...

Recently, [Edward Schmitz] wrote in to let us know about his Hackaday.io project: SigCore UC: An Open-Source Universal I/O Controller With Relays, Analog I/O, and Modbus for the Raspberry Pi. In the ...
