Fieldbus
Technical system comprising hardware and software that makes possible communication and the exchange of data between the devices connected to it (Figure F 8) . The devices are primarily sensors, actua
Filling pressure
Pressure that is produced after filling, e.g. on the gas side of a hydraulic accumulator or on pumps on which the suction side is pressurised.
Pilot control behaviour
Provides information on the behaviour of the controlled variable with a changing reference variable , but constant disturbance variable . The controlled variable responds to external effects on the co
Pilot control
Control on which between the reference variable and output variable in the steady state there is always a unique relationship, provided disturbance variables do not cause any deviation (DIN 19 226).
Reference variable
The reference variable in a control or is a variable not affected directly by the related control or feedback control that is provided to the open loop control system or the from the exterior and that
Frequency response for set input
Mathematical description of a follow up control in which, with the aid of the frequency response method, the transient response is determined (Figure F 36) .
Frequency spectrum
Reflects the frequency distribution of noise including its intensity that together with the change over time describes a noise signal.
Frequency modulation
Process for superimposing signals on a carrier wave on which the amplitude remains constant, but the frequency changes with the modulation. This includes above all the pulse modulation method .
