Rockwell Automation, Inc. provides industrial automation power, control, and information solutions.
An electronic method of limiting the maximum current available to the motor. This limit is adjustable so that the motor’s maximum current can be controlled. It can also be preset as a protective device to protect both the motor and control from extended overloads.
Industry:Automation
The performance of an operation that is accomplished through processing an instruction, a series of instructions, or a complete program.
Industry:Automation
1) A type of information transfer where the bits are handled sequentially. 2) Contrasted with parallel operation
Industry:Automation
A processor memory bit, controlled through firmware or a user program, used to signify a certain condition (e.g., battery low).
Industry:Automation
In a systems context, the environment is anything that is not a part of the system itself. Knowledge about the environment is important because of the effect it can have on the system or because of possible interactions between the system and the environment.
Industry:Automation
The range of values through which a system input can be varied, upon reversal of direction, without causing a corresponding change in system output.
Industry:Automation
1) I/O connected to a processor across a backplane or a parallel link, thus limiting its distance from the processor. See extended local I/O and processor-resident local I/O 2) Contrasted with remote I/O
Industry:Automation
A method of reversing motor rotation by use of two separate contactors, one of which produces rotation in one direction and the other produces rotation in the opposite direction. The contactors are electrically (and mechanically) interlocked so that both cannot be energized at the same time.
