A programmable logic controller (PLC) is actually an “industrial computer” that can work stably in complex environments. It can process switching signals, digital signals, analog signals, etc. from ...

Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...

Figure 2: Principle of operation of the MR-element employed as logic gate. Although at first sight a two-step procedure appears to be a drawback in speed compared to CMOS technology, our concept ...

The Axion extends SEL’s automation and control product family by providing a high-density, highly configurable modular RTU and programmable logic controller (PLC) system. With flexible system ...

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, ...

System engineers are pressured to cut costs and improve the reliability of circuit boards. An often overlooked opportunity to do this is to reduce the number of components used for FPGA, ...

If FPGA becomes a standard commodity like DRAM, the cost will significantly decline. For FPGA standardization, iCometrue proposes retaining the programmable circuits of the FPGA while removing the I/O ...
