Kilo. A prefix used with units of measurement to designate a multiple of 1000.
Industry:Automation
Usually something that provides a logical function. 1) Relays and motor starters controlled by outputs (control elements). 2) Switches and sensors connected to inputs (feedback elements). 3) The matrix items of a ladder logic rung, reflecting the results of executing program instructions (ladder logic elements). 4) In a general sense, anything that can be identified as a part of a larger entity — as with a data element being any addressable unit of data as long as it can be identified as a sub-unit of a larger unit of data (a bit as a data element of a word, structure or file; a word as a data element of a structure or file; a structure as a data element of a file).
Industry:Automation
A mandatory hard-wired relay that can be de-energized by any series-connected emergency stop switch. Whenever the master control relay is de-energized, its contacts open to remove the power source from all I/O circuits, sensors and actuators.
Industry:Automation
The process of transferring data stored in memory to a computer or to a floppy disk or other mass storage media.
Industry:Automation
1) In a network, the elapsed time between the generation of the last character of a message at a terminal and the receipt of the first character of the reply. It includes terminal delay, network delay, and service node delay. 2) In a photoelectric control, the time to translate a change in light level to a change in electrical output status.
Industry:Automation
A quantity that denotes both magnitude and direction. Vectors are commonly represented by a line segment with an arrow; the length represents the magnitude; the orientation in space and the placement of the arrow at one end of the line represents the direction.
Industry:Automation
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A device that converts input power into a very narrow beam of coherent light (light that is all a single frequency and in phase).
Industry:Automation
When a permanent-magnet dc motor is subjected to high current pulses, the magnets may become slightly demagnetized, resulting in a lower torque constant.
