Connecting PLCs with Various Sensors: Practical Wiring Diagrams Included

In industrial automation systems, sensors act as the “eyes” and “ears,” responsible for collecting key signals such as temperature, pressure, and position; while PLCs serve as the “brain,” receiving sensor signals and controlling actuator actions. The stability of their connection directly determines the reliability of the entire system. Today, we will provide a step-by-step guide … Read more

DC Sensing Return Current in Mixed Signal PCBs

A common high-speed PCB design rule is to track the return current path of signals. In reality, this is much easier said than done, as the return paths for fast digital signals and even medium-frequency analog signals are largely confined beneath the traces. At very low frequencies or under direct current (DC), the return path … Read more
