Capturing data signals during embedded system design can prove challenging. Modern logic analyzers make data acquisition tasks easier by providing advanced triggering capabilities that get to the root ...

An overview of the hardware and software components of PLCs and their programming languages. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and ...

While acknowledging the potential benefits of Python and C++, engineers caution against their indiscriminate use, particularly if there are existing IEC 61131 functions available. The debate between ...

Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one ...

VHDL and Verilog are hardware description languages, used to describe and define logic circuits. They’re typically used to design ASICs and to program FPGAs, essentially using software to define ...

This paper presents a constraint logic programming model for the traveling salesman problem with time windows which yields an exact branch-and-bound optimization algorithm without any restrictive ...
