4-20 mA scaling Convert between a 4-20 mA signal and engineering units in both directions.

A

ADC input divider Resistor divider to bring a voltage into an ADC range, with the loading and resolution.
Aliasing Where a signal above the Nyquist frequency will appear after sampling.

C

Conveyor speed Belt speed, throughput and motor speed for a conveyor.

E

Encoder resolution Counts per revolution, linear resolution and maximum speed for an encoder.

F

I

Inertia matching Reflected load inertia, inertia ratio and acceleration torque for a motion axis.

L

Load cell output Millivolt output, resolution and amplifier gain for a strain gauge load cell.

M

MTBF and availability Availability, failure rate and survival probability from mean time between failures.

P

PID tuning Ziegler-Nichols and Cohen-Coon tuning constants from a process step response.

R

RTD resistance RTD resistance from temperature by the Callendar-Van Dusen equation, and back.
