Rockwell Automation, Inc. provides industrial automation power, control, and information solutions.
A location for installing a module. In typical modular construction, modules plug into a backplane; each module slides into a slot that lines it up with its backplane connector.
Industry:Automation
An incremental motion of the motor shaft or machine table from one position to another at maximum speed without losing position control.
Industry:Automation
The apparent ring formed by passing the token between stations of a link, without regard for physical topology.
Industry:Automation
The process of controlling data table bits (on or off) through user instructions or keyboard entry.
Industry:Automation
A circuit on an I/O module that provides switching of ac power to a machine/process load device, based on backplane logic level dc signals. By definition, it is always a digital circuit (on/off). By implication, it usually has a direct relationship with the data table (i.e., a data table bit directly controls its state).
Industry:Automation
1) In a communication network, an ability granted to a station in regard to accessing another station. For example, one station may grant read-only privileges for a certain area of its memory to a second station; and it may grant both read and write privileges for that same area of its memory to a third station. 2) In software use, an ability granted to a user in regard to accessing functions. For example, one user may be granted the privilege to change the configuration and another user may be granted only the privilege to monitor the configuration values.
Industry:Automation
The arrangement and interconnection of hardware components within a system, and the hardware (switch and jumper) and software selections that determine the operating characteristics of the system.
