Why Do I Need Electrical Isolation?
Examining the important aspects of electrical isolation; what it does, why we need it, and how to test for it. Acromag is in the business of signal conditioning. We manufacture circuits that amplify, isolate, filter, and convert one signal form to another. Most of these circuits also provide electrical isolation. However, added isolation has a…
What is EtherNet/IP? Acromag White Paper
Getting Started with EtherNet/IP The following information describes the operation of EtherNet/IP™ (EtherNet Industrial Protocol) as it relates to Acromag Series 900EN-60xx and XTxxx2-xxx I/O modules. You can download a copy of the EtherNet/IP Standard, from the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) web site for Ethernet/IP. Acromag also manufactures a line of I/O modules that…
