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 ...

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 ...

Industrial digital input chips provide serialized data by default. However, in systems that require real time, low latency, or higher speed, it may be preferable to provide level-translated, real-time ...

CUI Inc. releases what is said to be the industry's first self-compensating No-Bus digital point of load dc-dc module family. CUI Inc. releases what is said to be the industry's first ...

All electronics engineers want the same things out of their systems: faster speeds, smaller footprints, and enhanced power. This drive places increasingly stringent demands on power supplies, which ...

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 ...
