Embedded System – Characteristics, Types, Advantages & Disadvantages
Embedded System has become an integral part of human lives though they are designed to function with minimal or no human interference. Aspects like low cost
Communication Protocols in Embedded Systems – Types, Advantages & Disadvantages
Communication Protocols are a set of rules that allow two or more communication systems to communicate data via any physical medium. The rules, regulations, synchronization between communication systems, syntax to be followed and semantics are all defined by the term protocol. Protocols can be implemented by both hardware and software or combination of both. Analog […]
Different Types of Proactive Approach for Obsolescence Management
There are various types of Proactive Approach to mitigate obsolescence. The selection of suitable approach must be based on the likely obsolescence. In our previous post we discussed about types of Obsolescence mitigation approach i.e Reactive and Proactive Approach in Detail. This post will move a step further and will discuss about Different Types of […]
Advantages of Programmable logic controller
The Programmable Logic Controller, PLC is basically a programmed interface in between the field input elements and the final control element. Advantages of PLC Reduced space : PLCs are completely solid state devices and hence are extremely compact in comparison to hard-wired controller where electro-mechanical devices are used. Higher Life and Reliability : These […]
Programmable Logic Controller
A Programmable Logic Controller can be defined in many ways. It can be defined as a program controlled electronic equipment with a reprogrammable memory for storing a set of commands which is used for executing exact tasks like logical, arithmetic, timer, counter, and furthermore controlling different processes or machines with the help of analog/digital through digital […]
RS 232 Signals
RS 232 stands for Recommended standard number 232. This interface is an age old, and yet it is being used for interconnecting DTE and DCE. It is also one of the maximum used standards for data exchange. The simplicity of configuration and huge capability has rendered this standard a very successful run in the interface […]
DB 9 Loopback
The RS232 connector was initially developed to use 25 pins. In this DB25 connector pin configuration, provisions were provided for a secondary serial RS232 communication channel. However, practically only one serial communication channel with handshaking is present. There were hardly a few computers manufactured in which provision for both RS232 channels were available. For example […]
Null Modem cable
Null Modem Cable. A null modem cable is a form of RS-232 standard where the transmit and receive lines are cross linked. Normally a straight through serial cable is used with this kind of adapter. The adapter is pre configured with the necessary cross links. In some cables, handshake lines are also cross linked. The […]
Interface
An Interface is a common shared medium across which two different components of a computer system can exchange data or information. There are basically two types of interface: Hardware Interface Software Interface Majority of equipments which do processing of data contains a relatively restricted capability in terms of transmission of data. It is very uncommon […]
