Rockwell Automation, Inc. provides industrial automation power, control, and information solutions.
1) The length of time between events or states. For example, the length of time between when a signal is high may be described as the interval between pulses. 2) Compare duration and period
Industry:Automation
1) The length of time for a cyclical operation to complete one full cycle. For example, the length of time from one point in a cyclical wave form to the same point in the next cycle of the wave form. 2) Compare duration and interval
Industry:Automation
1) A device for changing ac to dc. This is accomplished through use of a diode rectifier or thyristor rectifier circuit. 2) A device for changing ac to dc to ac (e.g., adjustable frequency drive). A “frequency converter,” such as that found in an adjustable-frequency drive, consists of a rectifier, a dc intermediate circuit, an inverter, and a control unit.
Industry:Automation
A method of serial transmission where characters may be transmitted at unequal time intervals. It requires that each character contain start/stop timing elements (extra bits) so the receiver can properly detect the start and end of each character. 2) Contrasted with synchronous transmission
Industry:Automation
Pertaining to time-sequential transmission of, storage of, or logic operations on data, using the same facilities for successive parts.
Industry:Automation
1) A device that converts an electrical signal into mechanical motion. 2) In a general sense, any machine/process load device (e.g., transducer) of a controller output circuit.
Industry:Automation
Pertains to the detection and isolation of an error or malfunction.
Industry:Automation
1) The time during which something exists or lasts. For example, the length of time that a signal is high may be described as the duration of a pulse. 2) Compare interval and period
Industry:Automation
Production of a digital value whose magnitude is proportional to the instantaneous magnitude of an analog signal.
Industry:Automation
The software responsible for controlling the allocation and usage of hardware resources such as memory, CPU time, disk space and peripheral devices. The operating system is the foundation upon which application programs are built. Compare to application program and utility software
