FAQ: How do programmable automation controllers (PACs) handle analog I/O and related controls?

June 28, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

By Steve Meyer || Analog inputs and outputs are generally associated with sensors. These in turn are the key to controlling real-world processes. So depending on the speed and resolution needed to measure events being controlled, analog inputs come in many performance ranges. Common sampling resolutions are 12 to 24 bit, and sampling frequencies range from kilohertz to […]

Turck’s ARGEE technology turns I/O devices into field logic controllers (FLCs) for flexible, cost-effective control

May 24, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Engineers, OEMs, and integrators have struggled for years to balance the cost of PLCs with their I/O needs, and Turck’s new ARGEE technology solves this challenge. ARGEE empowers manufacturers to add logic to compatible I/O devices without a PLC, driving down the cost per I/O point and increasing flexibility in control. Download a PDF of […]
