It’s a common and even correct refrain that today’s cars are increasingly becoming computers on wheels. That reality is largely keyed to implementation of more sensor inputs and actuator outputs for ...

Fig 1. Shown is a basic TIA circuit used in dual-supply systems. Fig 2. Figure 1’s TIA circuit was modified for a single supply. Fig 3. Here, the TIA circuit in Figure 2 places a photodiode directly ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...
