This document discusses analog control systems used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs). It describes how analog signals have continuous values between on and off, unlike discrete signals. It then explains that PLCs and PACs use analog input/output modules to interface with field devices that have continuously varying signals, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, motors etc. The document provides details on analog signal processing, including analog to digital conversion using ADCs and digital to analog conversion using DACs. It discusses key specifications for analog I/O modules such as resolution, conversion time and settling time.
Basics covering analog signals, PLC analog input modules, transducers/transmitters and the wiring of input transducers/transmitters to the PLC analog input module. Single ended and differential wiring are also discussed.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Discrete signals only have two states; ON
or OFF.
Analog signals have an infinite number of
states. It can be totally ON, totally OFF or
anything in-between.

Analog signals are encoded by
representing them in a binary word, as a
binary number.
The binary number corresponds to the
value of the analog signal at a given
instant in time.
Analog Signals
11. 11
Analog input signals are represented in
digital format through the process of
sampling the continuous analog waveform
at regular intervals of time and then
performing an analog to digital
conversion.
If the sample rate is twice the rate of the
analog signal change, the signal can be
exactly reproduced.
Sampling
12. 12
The process of assigning a discrete binary
number to each sample introduces an
error known as quantization error.
Quantization is an unavoidable error
resulting from the difference between the
actual value of the analog sample and the
nearest value encoded by one of the
binary numbers.

Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
ADC’s are used to interface analog input
signals with digital circuits, PLC’s, PAC’s or
computers.
ADC’s are essentially a quantizing process,
whereby an analog signal is represented
by discrete states. These states can be
assigned appropriate codes such as
straight binary, BCD, gray code or binary
two’s compliment.

An ADC requires a certain length of time,
called conversion time, to change an
analog signal into the corresponding
digital signal.
If the analog signal changes during the
conversion time the converter output may
be in error. To prevent this a sample and
hold circuit is used.
Sampling Concepts

Conversion Time
The total time required to completely convert
an analog input current or voltage to a digital
output. The time is affected by the propagation
delay in the various circuits. It may be
specified as a number of conversions per
second.
This is one of the most important specifications
to be considered when selecting an ADC.
Converters having more output bits usually
require more time.

Resolution
The amount of input voltage required to
increment the output by one LSB. The
resolution is determined by the number of
output bits. It is specified in terms of the
number of output bits or as one part per

resolution of an 8-bit converter is specified as

The DAC process can be viewed as finding
the equivalent weight of and object (less
then one unit) with weights in
geometrically proportional units, such as
1/8, 1/4 and 1/2. By using these weights in
various combinations, 8 different
measurements ranging from zero units to

Editor's Notes
Analog input process (for example):
The transducer detects the process signal.
The transducer and transmitter convert the process signal into an electrical signal that the analog input can recognize.
The analog input module converts the signal into a digital value proportional to the electrical input of the module. This value is typically a 12-bit word, but can be up to 16-bits.
An analog input instruction transfers the digital value to the PLC.
The PLC stores the digital value in a memory location for future use.
The analog signal is read and converted at prescribed intervals of time called the sampling rate.
Analog output process (for example):
The processor sends a digital value to the analog output module.
The analog output module uses an DAC (Digital to Analog converter) to convert the digital signal to an analog voltage or current value.
The analog output module sends the analog value to a transducer.
The transducer sends the appropriate signal to the analog output device.
Definition of: sampling (1) In statistics, the analysis of a group by determining the characteristics of a significant percentage of its members chosen at random.(2) Converting analog signals into digital form. Audio and other analog signals are continuous waveforms that are analyzed at various points in time and converted into digital samples. The accuracy with which the digital samples reflect their analog origins is based on "sampling rate" and "sample size."Sampling Rate - When to MeasureThe sampling rate is the number of times per second that the waveform is measured, which typically ranges from 8 to 192 thousand times per second (8 kHz to 192 kHz). The greater the rate, the higher the frequency that can be captured.The sampling rate must be at least twice that of the analog frequency being captured. For example, the sampling rate used to create the digital data on a CD is 44.1 kHz, slightly more than double the 20kHz frequency an average person can hear. The sampling rate for digitizing voice for a toll-quality conversation is typically 8,000 times per second (8 kHz), twice the 4 kHz required for the full spectrum of the human voice.Sample Size - The MeasurementAlso called "resolution" and "precision," the sample size is the measurement of each sample point on a numeric scale. Known as "quantizing," the sample point is turned into the closest whole number. The more granular the scale (the more increments), the more accurate the digital sample represents the original analog signal.

Assuming a straight binary code output from the ADC, the equivalent count output can be calculated for a given analog input signal.
Example:
Assume an ADC with an input range of 0 Vdc to 1 Vdc.
With a total of 3-bits of output the ADC can represent 8 different input voltages from 0 Vdc to 1 Vdc.
Therefore the amount of voltage at the input to change the output by one bit (LSB) would be:
1-bit (LSB) = F.S. / 2n
where:
F.S. = Full scale input of the ADC
n = number of output bits
For the 3-bit ADC above:
1-bit (LSB) = 1 Vdc / 23 or 1-bit (LSB) = 1/8 or 1/8 Vdc
This graph shows a typical transfer function for an ADC having a F.S. input of 1 Vdc. The more bits on the output the smaller the resolution, that is it takes a smaller change of voltage on the input to change 1 LSB on the output.
Most ADC are 10 or 12 bit.
A sample and hold circuit is used to sense the analog signal at the start of conversion, and store it on a capacitor during the remaining conversion time.
