Rockwell Automation, Inc. provides industrial automation power, control, and information solutions.
1) A bar-code scanner/decoder combination that is triggered, or activated by an external source such as a computer, a programmable controller, or a switch operated automatically by some machine motion. 2) Contrasted with attended system
Industry:Automation
A measure of the smallest positional change that can be detected by the encoder. For a rotary encoder, the number of lines per revolution times the encoder multiplier.
Industry:Automation
An interface between links in a communication network that routes messages from one link to another when a station on one link addresses a message to a station on another link.
Industry:Automation
The rate at which bits or words are transferred from one internal element to another.
Industry:Automation
1) I/O connected to a processor across a serial link. With a serial link, remote I/O can be located long distances from the processor. 2) Contrasted with local I/O
Industry:Automation
1) Pertaining to the order of bytes within a word, such that the most-significant byte has the lowest address (big end first). 2) Contrasted with little-endian
Industry:Automation
A relative movement between interacting mechanical parts, resulting from looseness.
Industry:Automation
1) A bar-code scanner/decoder combination that must be activated or attended by an operator. 2) Contrasted with unattended system
Industry:Automation
A measurement of the time phase difference between the voltage and current in an ac circuit. It is represented by the cosine of the angle of this phase difference. Power factor is the ratio of real power (in watts) to apparent power (in volt-amperes).
Industry:Automation
An interface device for serial/parallel conversion, buffering, and adding cheque bits.
