Indicator
Device that displays the measured value for a physical variable without measuring it. Alternative: recording instrument
Response pressure
Pressure that triggers a function or actuates an individual element (DIN 24 312 and DIN 3320 Part 1).
Starting torque
Minimum torque on the motor shaft of a hydraulic motor on starting from standstill. Above all the friction conditions during starting from rest (stiction) and at low speeds influence this parameter.
Analogue signal processing
Characteristic of analogue signal processing is the predominant usage of progressive function blocks for processing analogue signals. It requires, at least during the control of continuous processes,
Alphanumeric display
Visual display in numbers, letters and special characters. Compared to the analogue display it reduces reading errors, but does not allow trends to be detected. Alphanumeric displays include the LED d
Absolute measuring system
Measuring system in which all position (or angle) information is referred to a common zero point. Every point on the measured path is identified by a unique signal. Measuring systems that can be used:
Drop-off time
Time that elapses on the reduction of a variable from a defined upper value to a defined lower value.
Cycle frequency
Cycle number possible per time unit under defined operating conditions.
Time discrete
The signal parameter is only defined at clearly defined discrete times (or a series of discrete time intervals) (DIN 19 225). Example: Pulse or sensing systems, which query actual values in certain ti
