Despite developments in sensor technology, the integration of a sensor within a larger systems device often results in a simple digital on/off signal. Whilst many applications would find this adequate ...

During the relatively brief history of electronic motion control systems, a number of communications and networking schemes have been introduced. Not all get equal acceptance in the marketplace, but ...

The IEEE 1451 Committee steps forward to join conflicting sensor user and manufacturer demands by adopting compatible interface standards. Editor's Note: The words transducer and sensor are used ...

Fieldbus is an established technology that will coexist along with Real-Time Systems. AIS’s new open HMI technologies will incorporate communications network protocols and interfaces that will provide ...

The image sensor is arguably the most important component in a digital video or still camera. But these sensors are also notoriously non-standardized. They tend to differ in the schemes used for: ...

FDT ® offers proven architecture for data exchange between software and automation components, regardless of the network layers or protocols used in communication. Point-to-point connections and ...

This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...
