Advantech Illustrates The Perfect Pyramid Of Automation
Advantech has described the architecture of control systems using an easily understood, visual automation system pyramid. The model describes the role that Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition technology (SCADA) plays in relation to automation hardware, in acquiring and managing information from the field. This allows better control and decreases the cost of maintenance by storing and managing all data in a single control room.
ADL Embedded Solutions Announces Availability of ADLQM87PC PCIe/104 SBC Based on 4th Generation Intel Core Processor
ADL Embedded Solutions today announces availability of its ADLQM87PC PCIe/104 SBC based on the 4th generation Intel Core processor (formerly codenamed “Haswell”). The new Haswell architecture, built on Intel's 22nm tri-gate process technology will enable ADL Embedded Solutions to continue its dominance in small form-factor embedded computing. This was cemented last year with the release of their PCIe/104 second generation Intel Core i...
DSPI_FIFO – SPI master slave enhanced with detectors
Digital Core Design has presented the newest SPI IP Core enhanced with useful design features. The DSPI_FIFO is a fully configurable SPI master/slave device, which allows to configure polarity and phase of a serial clock signal SCK. DCD’s core enables microcontroller to communicate with serial peripheral devices, but also to communicate with an interprocessor in a multi-master system. It supports all the features of SPI and transmission/rec...
