Word length
Also known as the data length, this is the number of bits that can be jointly transferred and processed in a computer. It is used to classify microprocessors and microcomputers. There are currently: 4
Dead volume
Volume that does not contribute to the system performance, but must be placed under pressure as the working cycle changes. The volume increase associated with this changes the natural frequency of the
Delay element
Elementary or parallel-connected transfer elements with additional time delays. They are marked Tk, where the index k states the order of the delay (according to Din 19 226 Part 2).
Measurement data processing (conditioning)
In many cases, the voltage signals obtained during electrical measuring of mechanical variables cannot undergo further processing directly in the signal section of a control . They need to be prepared
Underpressure
Previous term for pressures beneath the atmospheric pressure. According to DIN 1314, underpressure should no longer be used to name a variable, but only for the qualitative description of a state. As
Transfer function φ of a system
Important concepts regarding the transfer function of a system are defined and described in DIN 19 226 and DIN 19 229. As the transfer function of the individual system variables as a function of the
Auxiliary actuation of valves
Another form of actuation, apart from the main form of actuation, whereby the energy is not dependent on that of the main form of actuation. In general, various methods of manual operation are availab
System-compatible signal
Signal whose are defined for an equipment group (modular system) and which can be processed by all devices of that group without additional measures (DIN 19 237).
Release valve
Controlled valve that opens to the outlet and as a rule has the task of allowing the compression volume to escape in a controlled manner until the pressure in the chamber has dropped to a specific val
Current indicator
Device, in which the movement of an element (ball, vane, etc.) displays the presence of a flow.
