In this Design Idea, we look at how electromechanical relays display hysteresis behavior that is surprisingly similar to the solid-state Schmitt trigger circuits, and how they can be used for many ...

MUNICH, Germany — The intelligent controllers from Wuerth Elektronik (Oehringen, Germany) ICS for automotive industry are small, powerful and easy to program. The product range named “ICCS” includes ...

Protective relays and monitoring relays detect or monitor for abnormal power system conditions. Protective relays detect defective lines, defective apparatuses, or other power system conditions of an ...

If you're curious about the function of a relay in the context of home automation and the Internet of Things, here you go. In this piece, we'll explain the practical applications of many different ...

AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “When to Use Multi-Function Safety Relays” that explains how to determine when applications will benefit from multi-function safety relays ...

Electroswitch control switch relays (CSR) combine the function of a control switch with a remote-controlled solenoid, allowing one device to do both the manual and supervisory control function in the ...

To deliver capabilities typical of larger PLCs, the easy800 programmable control relay integrates in a single, compact unit 32-bit, four-function math processing, incremental encoder inputs, frequency ...

As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “When to Use Multi-Function Safety Relays” that explains how to determine when applications will benefit from multi-function safety relays ...

Phoenix Contact’s PLC-Interface Ethernet Gateway combines communication, I/O and relays in one modular system, connecting up ...
