Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

WIXOM -- The Wixom manufacturing electronics manufacturer Acromag has released new BusWorks XT Series multi-channel optocouplers and interposing relay modules that connect discrete field devices to ...

Murrelektronik optocouplers, slim interface relays and multi-mode relay timers are now available from AutomationDirect. Murrelektronik optocouplers (from $16.50) are used to combine different signal ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

Many microcontroller designs typically mix multiple interfacing methods. A microcontroller (µC) system can be viewed as a system that reads from inputs, performs processing and writes to outputs.

Members can download this article in PDF format. In this design idea, you will learn how to interface two PIC microcontrollers using a wireless 433-MHz RF transmitter/receiver pair to control up to ...

In electronic and industrial automation systems, relay modules play a crucial role by allowing low-power control signals to switch high-power devices. Selecting between a 5V relay module and a 12V ...
