The inherent flexibility of the programmable, multi-channel, mixed signal, SOC architecture also makes it ideal for implementing a variety of other applications. For example, an automated feedback loop can be easily established by connecting inputs from one or more sensors for measuring power, pressure, position, vibration, flow, temperature, or humidity, and connecting the output to a Process Controller, such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), a Motion Controller or other control system found commonly in industrial automation systems. The SOC's internal compute engine also can be programmed to compensate for specific variations in sensor inputs, allowing the system to be optimized for specialized measurements. By connecting the device to a load cell, it can function as a weigh scale addressing both commercial as well as industrial cost and precision requirements. Another important application is using the device as an 'electronic trip unit' by programming trip threshold and delay attributes and monitoring power transients, the device can be used in industrial circuit breaker applications protecting industrial manufacturing and packaging equipment. Because the SOCs can be used to take readings from multiple sensors anywhere on a production floor at any given point in time, they can perform as intelligent network-attached devices that are ideal for industrial automation in manufacturing and packaging installations, refineries and chemical processing plants, or virtually any other diverse industrial environment.
