From Balluff, Inc.
When thinking about ways in machine building to achieve cost reduction while still increasing
benefits to the customer, the installation technology on the machine is one of the first places to
look. Signals between sensors, actuators and the controller need to make their way through all
kinds of hurdles along their way, with single- and multi-conductor cable both shielded and
unshielded, strip terminals, connectors, interface modules, gateways and IO modules..

This chapter introduces serial IO in the form of asynchronous serial transfer using the Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) subsystem of the PIC18Fxx2. A serial interface...
This chapter discusses interrupts, which are of critical importance when implementing efficient input/output operations for microcontroller applications. Topics include interrupt fundamentals, PIC18...
Advances in controls and networks combined with components that pack more punch have opened the door to more-precise, durable, and economical pneumatic systems. When it comes to motion control,...
The actuator sensor interface (AS-Interface) is a simple two-wire network that replaces traditional sensor wiring architectures. Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-i) networks use a special two-conductor...
This chapter discusses synchronous serial IO as implemented on the PIC18. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and I 2C (Inter IC) bus protocols are covered, with sample interfaces to a digital...
