Microchip's PIC10F32X incorporates a number of neat features like a Configurable Logic Cell, a Complementary Waveform Generator, and a Numerically Controlled Oscillator. The idea of incorporating ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and microcontrollers (MCUs) are becoming ubiquitous in the automation of a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. The PLC Laboratory houses six state ...

Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term "System- on- a Programmable Chip" (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...

are process and control implementations that cover everything from test labs and fabrication plants to military and medical electronics to basic data acquisition. They leverage various sensor types ...

We’re all used to general purpose microcontroller boards such as the Arduino or its many imitators, but perhaps we don’t see as much of their industrial cousins. A programmable logic controller (PLC) ...

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. Programmable logic has been around since the days when new 8-bit microcontrollers were flourishing. And while 8-bit microcontrollers are still flourishing, ...

[Q] is an Electrical Engineer who works in an industrial setting. He frequently uses Programmable Logic Controllers at work but had never built one himself. He decided to undertake the project at home ...

While traditional PLC suppliers offer established software and support, the low-cost, highly customizable nature of Arduino and Pi systems is driving their adoption in industrial settings. Aug. 6, ...

We are fascinated when we see machines work together, seemingly with minds of their own. The TV show “How It’s Made” became popular for simply showing how products are made in an automated factory ...

Today’s marketplace is getting heavily disrupted by the current semiconductor chip shortage that has hampered our manufacturing production lines. This is evident by the limited supply of products ...

Two new controllers have joined the Jazz 2 Series, the JZ20-R16 and JZ20-R10. The controllers feature 48K (virtual) ladder-logic memory and a built-in mini USB programming port. The controllers can ...
