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, ...

PLC Logic is a compact microcontroller that plugs a small housed logic module, programmable with LOGIC software, directly into relays, allowing users to switch and control up to 48 I/O signals with a ...

I/O modules are building blocks of industrial control systems used in end equipment such as PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) and DCS (Distributed Control ...
