    Synthetic Industrial Diamonds

    Yes. As in... Synthetic diamond has potential uses as a semiconductor,[75] because it can be doped with impurities like boron and phosphorus. Since these elements contain one more or one less valence electron than carbon, they turn synthetic diamond into p-type or n-type semiconductor. Making...

    How to detect faulted or broken wires for PLC inputs

    Food for thought. Depending on the application of the input you can monitor the input state with code to make sure it cycles (discrete control) if it's process control it's a little harder. Some discrete manufacturers even force a "bad master" to force the opposite state of a switch to make...

    PLC State Machine Coding

    Keith, I do a lot of state coding for a client. The proper way is to group your outputs in a area as you suggest. The rung (if ladder) is as you suggest with multiple or'd Normally Open contacts of the state machine continuous states. Keeping mind the type of equipment the output operates...
