Optical fibre technology
System whereby electrical signals are converted into light signals, relayed inside optical fibres (glass or plastic fibres) and then converted back into electrical signals ( Figure L 19 ). Optical fib
Power hyperbola
Curve based on identical (constant) power in a rectangular p-Q system Power is calculated as follows: P = p · Q
Load pressure p L
Pressure resulting from an external load (DIN 24 312).
Speed ratio
The speed ratio of a hydrostatic transmission is defined by the ratio of the pump speed n 1 to the motor speed n 2:
Cost of a fluid power plant
The overall costs for a plant consist of the procurement costs A, ( Figure K 33 ) and operating costs K, which can fluctuate considerably in the field of hydraulics. They will depend primarily on over
Integrated circuit (IC)
Semiconductor component combining thousands of electronic functions within an area of a few mm2. It is mass-produced in the form of chips and is an essential feature of modern microelectronics.
Operating mode of a control
Characterisation of the nature and scope of the intervention in a control system by the operator and by feedback from the system to be controlled. Here in accordance with DIN 19 237 a differentiation
Semiconductor memory
Memories made out of semiconductor elements which are generally integrated into computers as the main memory and used to prepare large volumes of data and programs. A distinction is made between: ROM:
Fluid level gauge
Device that measures and displays the liquid level in a tank.
