Designing Small Controllers? Don’t Get Burned!

Industry 4.0 means today's customers want small, feature-rich, distributable PLCs with extra I/O channels. But they also want robust PLCs, with heat dissipation firmly under control. With discrete components, satisfying both needs can be a challenge. But with integration, it's possible.

In a new white paper from Maxim Integrated, learn how integration can curb heat dissipation in digital I/O modules, even in tiny, channel-rich PLCs

It'll walk you through:

  • Why digital input (DI) modules in multiple discrete component designs traditionally add heat—and how an alternative saves design time while keeping things cool
  • How a new approach to digital output (DO) design keeps challenging resistive loads from causing burnout and other thermal mischief
  • Plus, a deep dive on choosing integrated DI and DO modules, so you can safely pack in channels and features at tiny sizes Learn how you can design the small, cool, robust PLCs your customers want. Get the White Paper
