First Experience with Siemens PLC 1214C

Documenting some observations from my first use of the Siemens 1214. First, regarding the wiring, this Siemens model supports both NPN and PNP input configurations. I previously thought that Siemens inputs could only be configured as PNP. The common terminal for its inputs is marked as M, which led me to believe it could only … Read more

How to Connect NPN and PNP Sensors to PLCs? Remember Two Words to Solve All Wiring Issues

How should NPN or PNP sensors be connected to PLCs or other devices? Actually, there is no need to memorize; understanding the concept of circuit allows you to connect them by referring to diagrams. Issues such as connecting sensors to devices, devices to devices, whether to connect the common terminal to positive or negative, whether … Read more

Windows PCI Device Driver Development Guide: PnP Callback

Windows PCI Device Driver Development Guide: PnP Callback

In the previous article, we introduced the driver code generated by the VS KMDF template, providing a preliminary understanding of the driver code. It should be evident that this driver is quite simple, essentially lacking any real functionality. After installing the driver we wrote, this PCIe device remains in the D0 state (if you are … Read more
