Advancement in machine safety devices
Operation of safety relay
The typical design of a safety relay is based on the classic 3 contactor combination. The design ensures that wiring errors do not lead to the loss of the safety function. Two relays (K1, K2) with positive-guided contacts - set of NO and NC contacts that operate together so NO and NC...
Programming FPGA and CRIO
In this article, I wanted to briefly go through few practices that I use to develop a compact rio application. A full Compact RIO controller combines FPGA with real time processor. Labview developer could utilise all target levels to develop machine app that would offer maximum resources utilization and reliability to mention only few of the...
Compact RIO Controllers
Composition of CRIO PAC
Compact RIO is industrial ruggedized Programmable Automation Controller PAC that provides interface to C Series Module for I/O connectivity. Certain models carry Field Programmable Gate Array in the back plate chassis. A full Compact RIO PAC controller could be a combination of and FPGA Chassis with hot-swappable C Series modules and a pluggable real...
