Higher amperage relay output modules and an 8-point input simulator module are now available from AutomationDirect for the Click series stackable micro brick PLCs. The Click C0-04TRS-10 ($54.00) is a ...

The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

PLC Inputs and Outputs provides an overview of the main types of input/output modules and input/output devices, their primary functions, and their roles in a PLC process. In a PLC system, the ...

Paralleling of MicroVerter® DC/DC converters is often used to increase the output power capability of a single unit by connecting the outputs of two or more converters in parallel. By connecting the ...

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 ...

Flex Power Modules introduces the BMR490 DC-DC converter with active current sharing. The current sharing capability enables two or more converters to be used in parallel for demanding datacom ...

These days ready-to-use DC-DC converters are everywhere, with some of the cheaper ones even being safe to use without an ...

Point of Load (PoL) dc-dc converter modules provide regulated dc power to a wide variety of loads. PoLs are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, so their ability to provide common powering ...

Two trends in electronics show no signs of abating: The shift to portable and mobile products across multiple applications; and packing more and more features into each successive generation of ...
