MAXREFDES150#Pocket IO PLC Development Platform

Industry 4.0 is the fourth revolution in manufacturing and process automation, which poses a huge challenge to PLC design engineers: integrating more functions into increasingly smaller packages. Increasing I/O density and smaller package sizes also bring another fundamental design challenge: inevitable power consumption issues. Systems must be more power efficient than ever before to avoid PLC overheating, especially in applications where fans and vents are not typically available. Fortunately, companies like Maxim Integrated are developing new solutions that allow their integration capabilities to shine in the changing industrial market.
