Logic element
Electrical, electronic, pneumatic, mechanical or hydraulic component capable of performing a logic function ( Figure L 26 ).
Laplace transformation
Laplace transformation is a method for solving linear differential equations with constant coefficients based on given initial conditions. It can also be used for fault functions which give the value
Impedance Z
General form of resistance. Impedance Z is a complex physical variable (actual and notional element), which takes the following form R = resistive element of resistance jωL = inductive element of resi
Coded rotary encoder
Device for the conversion of analogue data that are available in the form of a specific angular position of a shaft into coded digital data by using a coded disc that is divided into a specific number
Binary counter
Semiconductor module comprising four counter flip flops that counts from 0 to 15.
Types of mounting of cylinders
In the types of mounting of cylinders a differentiation is made between four basic forms (Figure B 4) : Flange mounting : The flange can be attached to the head (item a) or to the base (b). In a, posi
Outlet pressure
Pressure measured at the outlet on a device (DIN 24 312).
Working lines
Main lines that are used to transport energy using hydraulic fluids.
Response threshold
Minimum signal variable that is required on the input to a device to change the output variable.
Analogue control
Control that predominantly uses analogue signals in the signal processing and that also uses with progressive function elements. An example is the analogue position control shown in (Figure A 17) with
