Rockwell Automation, Inc. provides industrial automation power, control, and information solutions.
A component that consists of 2 or more coils coupled by magnetic induction.
Industry:Automation
A systematic method of interrogating each station on a communication link to determine which ones are in need of servicing.
Industry:Automation
The condition of a device or circuit that is not grounded and not tied to any established potential.
Industry:Automation
A computer program that allows a ladder diagram program (in binary) to be documented with comments and cross references.
Industry:Automation
A technique by which encoder resolution can be raised above the encoder line count. Normally 2 or 4 times the line count.
Industry:Automation
A computer-based systems developed to facilitate design of mechanical parts.
Industry:Automation
A technique for generating a dc voltage level from a higher constant dc voltage. The constant input voltage is chopped to produce pulses at a constant period and constant amplitude. Modulating the pulse width (duration) controls the average voltage of the output.
Industry:Automation
The current required by a motor to produce torque and drive a load. The maximum safe, continuous current is stamped on the motor nameplate. This can only be exceeded for initial acceleration, and for short periods of time. Armature current is proportional to the amount of torque being produced; therefore, it rises and falls as the torque demand rises and falls.
Industry:Automation
A condition in which a motor does not rotate smoothly, but “steps” or “jerks” from one position to another during shaft revolution. Cogging is most pronounced at low speeds and can cause objectionable vibrations in the driven machine.
