Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions, a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls, has introduced the CHAMP-WB (“WideBand”), the Industry’s first Xilinx® Virtex®-7 OpenVPX™ COTS DSP Engine ...

In the previous two issues of this newsletter, we looked at troubleshooting digital input modules. Basically, we looked for the presence or absence of a voltage. With analog modules, it's trickier ...

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 ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are an essential part of the automation sector, particularly factory automation. PLCs are classified as voltage and current inputs and convert real-world signals ...

The AN220E04, also known as the Anadigmvortex, is the first of a family of second-generation field-programmable analog arrays (FPAAs). It's based on fully differential switched-capacitor technology ...

A 4-point universal analog input module expands the capabilities of the vendor’s MicroSmart Pentra micro PLC. The high-performance module accepts most analog signals including 0-10V, 4-20mA, ...

The MAQ20-BRDG1 strain gage module has four input channels and can interface to full, half, and quarter bridge sensors using four-wire or six-wire connections. All channels are individually ...

Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857, NYSE: ATE) has begun shipping its new DC Scale AVI64 module, designed to give the V93000 single scalable platform the ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

There’s an old saying that we have one mouth and two ears so you can listen twice as much as you talk. However, talking and listening at the same time is fairly difficult and doing it with radio ...
