In our previous issue, we said a digital output module could be tested by using the PLC logic to force the output on and off then and observing the module’s response. If the module doesn't respond, ...

Here’s the reference schematic of the digital power supply module. As explained in the first installment of this serial article, dc output voltage and current levels are constantly monitored (and ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

Advanced Energy Industries has expanded its NeoPower range with a new dual-output module designed to deliver greater flexibility for engineers working in industrial, medical, and test environments.

A compact digital power supply module should be a piece of cake for most electronics hobbyists. After some research, I found a relatively low-cost adjustable DC/DC buck power supply module with ...

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 ...
