Design digital input modules with parallel interface using industrial digital inputs
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 logic signals for industrial digital input channel. So, some industrial digital inputs sample and serialize the state of eight 24-V current sinking inputs under SPI or…
Designing power supplies for industrial functional safety, Part 1
A power supply unit is one of the most crucial components in an electronics system, as its operation can affect the entire system’s functionality. In the context of industrial functional safety, as in IEC 61508, power supplies are considered elements and supporting services to electrical/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) safety-related systems (SRS) as well as other subsystems….
