TIDA-00233: This sub system design shows an IC based implementation of over voltage, over current, reverse current, reverse polarity and miss wire protection which is more accurate, lower power and faster compared to fuses, PTCs and diodes. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) I/O modules connected to a field power supply benefit from protection on the 24V field input connectors as power supply faults or miss wiring might damage or cause the module to not operate correctly.
TIDA-00183: The TIDA-00183 shows a high density, high power digital output circuitry with full protection and isolation for programmable logic controllers in factory automation and control environment. The BeagleBone-Black cape formfactor allows easy evaluation of the used driver chips and the interoperation with an MSP430 MCU for innovative protection schemes.
