What type of signal can typically be converted into raw data within a controller module?

The conversion of signals into raw data within a controller module is predominantly associated with analog signals. Analog signals represent continuous data and can vary in amplitude or frequency, allowing them to convey a wide range of information. In industrial applications, these signals often come from various sensors that measure physical parameters like temperature, pressure, or speed.

When the controller module receives these analog signals, it can convert them into a digital form for processing. This digital representation of the analog signal enables the PLC to make precise control decisions based on real-time data, enhancing system responsiveness and accuracy.

On the other hand, digital signals are discrete and consist of binary values (0s and 1s), which may not be converted into raw data in the same continuous manner as analog signals. Hybrid signals involve a combination of both analog and digital elements, but they do not represent a singular type of signal that would typically be converted as raw data in the same way. Static signals refer to signals that do not change over time, and their lack of variability limits their application in scenarios requiring continuous monitoring and data conversion.
