FPGA Modules with Integrated Processors Drive Real-Time Applications Engineers developing DSP and high-speed logic applications know that FPGA modules can help them create an integrated, sophisticated solution. The availability of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) FPGA boards can make these solutions viable and do so in reduced development times. Today, systems are architected to perform extremely time-critical tasks…

That is the Question Or perhaps, thermistor? By Mike M, Inside Technical Sales Representative, Process Automation Products In the process manufacturing and even R&D / test world, temperature measurement and monitoring is one of the more common and widely applied applications. As a manufacturer of temperature transmitters, Acromag covers a wide range of sensor input transmitters…

Ethernet: The IEEE 802.3 protocol standard. It defines a system of interconnecting multiple devices to form a Local Area Network (LAN) for communicating and sharing information/resources. DHCP / Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: One means of assigning IP addresses to network devices automatically. (As opposed to static IP address assignment inside the device itself). Gateway: A device…

Twin Totalizers Send Your Flow Meter Pulse or Analog Signals to the Network for Metering or IIoT Remote Monitoring By Mike, Inside Technical Sales Manager Many applications call for converting flow meter pulse or analog DC current signals to an Ethernet network to extend the remote monitoring and control application. In the age of energy…

By Mike, Inside Technical Sales Representative Sinking, sourcing, active, passive, powered, resistive, two-wire, four-wire, what’s the diff?! One of the most called for products in the process I/O field are our 4-20mA current loop isolators for interfacing field device to control device. There’s a need for galvanic isolation, as well as matching up I/O sinking/sourcing requirements of…
