Measuring instruments
Devices — located along the signal flow — which make up a measuring device and whose measuring characteristics (errors, chain of influences) are specific to the measuring device in question ( Figure M
Hydraulic power pack
A hydraulic power pack is a stand-alone assembly consisting of a drive motor, hydraulic pump and hydraulic fluid tank. The drive motor is connected to the hydraulic pump via a shaft and drives this. T
Return line
Line to feed the hydraulic fluid back to the container after the energy has been transferred. As with the Return line filter it must be designed according to the largest flow rate and not according to
Mooring control
Specific adjustment of a hydraulic motor in order to drive mooring winches, the idea being to generate constant tensile force when winding and unwinding the cable. In order to achieve this, the displa
Top pressure limit
1. Top limit for any temporary exceeding of the calculated pressure where a device or system will still be functional (DIN 24 312). 2. Pressure ranges above around 800 bar are referred to as the top p
Sampling time
Time in which a new (measured) value is output in digital measuring systems. The parameter is stated in ms.
Absolute pressure gauge
Device that indicates the absolute pressure at a measuring point in a hydraulic fluid, referred to a perfect vacuum.
Setpoint generation
Calculation of the setpoint using a computer program, into which only sampling points of the setpoint are entered. The computer then calculates the change of the setpoint over time incrementally, e.g.
