One of the most powerful capabilities of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that conform to the IEC 61131-3 standard is the functionality that allows application engineers to create function blocks ...

A London-based team has created the Blocks smartwatch – a modular watch that features functions that can snap on to the wristband. The Blocks smartwatch is built around a core watch – that is ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When designing a control system, where the safety system is to be networked, where would you start? To understand the ...

One of the key steps during tumour metastasis is tumour cell migration and invasion, which require actin cytoskeletal reorganization. Among the critical actin cytoskeletal protrusion structures are ...

Functions generated by blocks were introduced by M. Taibleson and G. Weiss in the setting of the one-dimensional torus $T \lbrack TW1 \rbrack$. They showed that these ...

The SICK Function Block Factory is the first web-based service of its type that enables users to create function blocks automatically from any IO-link device with an I/O device description (IODD), no ...

The SafeDESIGNER library gives users working with safety-critical press applications an easier time setting up the necessary safety functions. The library constitutes a complete set of the function ...
