What makes transconductance negative?

More properly, the transconductance gain is -1 A/V. A transconductance amplifier has a high-impedance input, and it responds to a voltage on that input, while using minimal* current. It has a high-...

IO link sensors with PLC

When using IO link technology with a PLC (siemens s7-1200) can you connect devices that are not IO link sensors? For example say I wanted to connect an existing normal push button to a IO link master ...

What makes transconductance negative?

Transconductance is not, in general, negative. The transconductance of the specific amplifier in the question you link is negative, but in general transconductance can be either positive or negative. ...

ASi (AS-Interface), understanding power supply

The resistors perform a weak pull from each side to ground. I don't know why they've labeled it as "shield" as AS-i cable doesn't have a shield. In the systems I'm familiar with the centre ...

PLC s7-1200 Ladder logic

Figure 1. Timer operation pages shows that ET, elapsed time, stops when the PT, preset, time is reached. From that we can deduce that we will never get ET > PT. On the basis of the above information ...

Understanding ladder PLC logic

is it sequential like c/c++? No, with typical column scan pattern* it is evaluated top-to-bottom and left-to-right. This means, first all of column 1 is evaluated from row 1 to end, then column 2 is ...

Finding current over controllable voltage source using nodal analysis

These two are obvious by inspection: $$\begin{align*} V_3&= 13 \:\text{V}\\\\ V_0&= V_2 \end{align*}$$ These are from simply writing out the nodal equations: $$\begin{align*} V_1\cdot 1\:\...

Switching outputs using ladder logic

Your screen grabs are too difficult to read. It sounds as though you are looking for a 60 s clock with 50% duty cycle. The normal method is to generate a timing sequence as follows: ...
