Achieving precise process control is a key step in meeting factory yield and volume production standards. This NetSeminar will explore the full industrial process control signal chain, the key components involved, and the critical specifications of those components. Discussion includes the challenges and solutions associated with modern automation applications, such as programmable-logic controllers (PLC's), factory process control, and intelligent transmitters, and the requirements for high performance semiconductor components such as DAC's, ADC's & Isolation devices.
