In our previous two issues, we discussed troubleshooting digital output modules. Troubleshooting analog modules is a bit more complicated, for two reasons: Analog modules aren't on/off, as digital ...

In industrial automation and process control applications, the analog output module transmits analog signals (voltage or current) that operate controls such as hydraulic actuators, solenoids, and ...

AutomationDirect’s Productivity2000 programmable controller line now includes 12 and 13-bit resolution current and voltage analog input and output modules for cost-conscious applications.

Expanding the EtherStax series of Ethernet I/O modules from Acromag are two analog-output units offering 16 channels of current-output or voltage-output control signals with 16-bit D/A resolution.

In the broad-brush view of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) versus its complement, the digital-to-analog converter (DAC), there’s no doubt that the DAC has an easier functional challenge. What’s ...

June 15, 2013. Data Translation has announced that it has increased the performance of its 4- and 8-channel analog output modules to provide continuous waveform streaming. These DAC modules, the ...

Does the module's output correspond correctly to its input? Determine that by forcing the PLC output to 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% and measuring on the output terminals at the corresponding range ...
