Rockwell Automation, Inc. provides industrial automation power, control, and information solutions.
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.
Industry:Automation
A technique to allow control to automatically compensate for changes in system parameters such as load variations.
Industry:Automation
The data contained on one storage device such as a magnetic tape or disk.
Industry:Automation
A condition on a communication channel where two or more stations try to transmit at the same time.
Industry:Automation
A technique used to perform non-linear motion electronically, similar to that achieved with mechanical cams.
Industry:Automation
The data path established for one or more channels between two or more stations.
