In our previous issue, we noted that the first step in troubleshooting digital input modules is to verify the power source of each loop. If input power is missing, the causes can be such things as ...
The BusWorks 965EN Input Modules interface thermocouple and millivolt signals directly to an Ethernet Modbus/TCP 10/100 network. The six-channel, inch-wide I/O modules operate independently of any bus ...
The trend towards increased monitoring in industrial automation and process control requires input modules with higher channel densities. In these applications, 24V DC digital inputs (DI) make up the ...
Microcontroller-based systems with analog I/O can be simplified by modularizing them as stackable boards interconnected by a minimalist bus. The Inter­Module Bus (IMB) is a master-slave bus controlled ...
The following are some basic facts about input loop power sources: The input module usually isn't a loop power source. Although 120V is common for digital loops, other voltages are also used. There ...
