Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one ...

The company’s Custom PLC Interface Module program aims to improve device and field connectivity in a range of Industry 4.0 applications.

TI’s new programmable logic offerings, however, can combine up to 40 combinational and sequential logic elements along with analog functions into a single device (Fig. 1). 1.

They compared a Python-based control loop on a Raspberry Pi 3B against an C0-12DD1E-2-D AutomationDirect CLICK Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) using a simple water heating example.

Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) contain the building blocks for hundreds of 7400-serries logic ICs. Complete circuits can be designed on a PC and then uploaded to a CPLD for instant ...

Clock domains The SoPC architecture should also support multiple clock domains across different functional blocks with bridge interface-synchronization logic linking these blocks within the device.

In part one of the series, I discussed the essentials of PLCs, took a brief look at the internal structure of the PLC, considered programming methods — the most common of which is “Ladder Logic,” and ...

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 ...
