Converts received voltage or current levels into numerical values. You can store and process these values within the logic controller.
Converts numerical values within the logic controller and sends out proportional voltage or current levels.
Connectors that have 1 raised key on the male connector and 1 mating slot on the female connector. This is the standard coding used for sensors and distribution box applications.
An undesired signal caused by a capacitive, inductive, or conductive coupling between 2 channels.
(Deutsches Institut für Normung) A German institution that sets engineering and dimensional standards.
EN identifies one of many European standards maintained by CEN (European Committee for Standardization), CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), or ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).
(international electrotechnical commission) A non-profit and non-governmental international standards organization that prepares and publishes international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies.
A special function that helps reject extraneous signals on input lines due to such things as contact bounce and inducted electrical transients. Inputs provide a level of input filtering using the hardware. Additional filtering with software is also configurable through the programing or the configuration software.
(ingress protection) The protection classification according to IEC 60529 offered by an enclosure, shown by the letter IP and 2 digits. The first digit indicates 2 factors: helping protect persons and for equipment. The second digit indicates helping protect against water. IP 20 devices help protect against electric contact of objects larger than 12.5 mm, but not against water.
(ingress protection) The protection classification according to IEC 60529. IP 67 modules are protected against ingress of dust, contact, and water up to an immersion depth of 1 m.

(platinum 100/1000) Resistance thermometers, also referred to as resistance temperature detectors, are sensors used to measure temperature by correlating electrical resistance with temperature. As the temperature changes, the resistance to an electrical current passing through them predictably changes likewise. They are characterized by their nominal resistance R0 at a temperature of 0 °C.
oPt100 (R0 = 100 Ω)
oPt1000 (R0 = 1 kΩ)
(terminal block) The component that mounts in an electronic module and provides electrical connections between the controller and the field devices.
