Produce High Accuracy Analog Output with Ultra-Low Power Consumption

Maxim Integrated gives designers a ready-to-implement Micro PLC analog-output system for Industry 4.0 applications.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 30, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — Engineers can now meet the higher resolution, distributed control requirements of Industry 4.0 industrial factory automation designs, while using less power, with the MAXREFDES60# 16-bit analog output system from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM).

The trend of Industry 4.0 marks a move of factory systems away from large, centralized programmable logic controllers (PLCs) toward modular, decentralized Micro PLCs that promise to provide better efficiency and flexibility. Operating at less than 250mW, the MAXREFDES60# reference module gives Micro PLC designs an ultra-low-power, highly accurate analog output in an ultra-small form factor approximately the size of a credit card. The highly integrated MAXREFDES60# is a complete system design that includes a microcontroller and an isolated power architecture. Users can simply plug MAXREFDES60# into a computer via USB, apply power, and begin evaluation within minutes.
