Is a facility for measure & control, including the main plant computerized operational system, where all process, utility and off site activities are monitored. The system may be located in the main control room. (e.g. PLC Programmable logic controller, DCS distributed control system, ENMC Electrical Network Monitoring and Control system).
A measuring relay that, either solely or in combination with other relays, is a constituent of a protection equipment.
A detecting element that is intended to sense proximity.
A position switch that is operated without mechanical contact with the moving part.
A manual control switch that is intended to switch when you push or touch the button.
A physical object for detecting the presence of objects at a distance, or ascertaining their position or motion, by transmitting short radio waves and detecting or measuring their return after being reflected.
An element intended to determine a level based on high frequency electromagnetic waves.
A level transmitter that is producing a standardized electrical output signal based on the input signal from a radar type level sensor.
A transceiver which has the methods of signalling through space, without connecting wires.
A level transmitter that is producing a standardized electrical output signal based on the input signal from radioactive level measurements.
A positive displacement compressor in which forced reduction of gas volume takes place by the movement of a displacing element in a cylinder or enclosure.
A positive displacement pump which contains a displacing element intended to be moved in a reciprocating movement to exert pressure on a fluid, typically moving within a cylindrical space.
A process instrument that records values represented by the input signal(s).
An electric converter for converting an alternating current into a direct current.
An analyser intended to determine the oxidation and reduction capability of material.
A pressure transmitter where pressure is applied to one side of the sensor while the other side is open to atmosphere. The transmitter generate standardized output signal representing the measured value.
A physical object that can be any electrical device, usually incorporating an electromagnet, whereby a current or signal in one circuit can open or close another circuit.
A RTU, or Remote Terminal Unit is a device which interfaces objects in the physical world to a DCS or SCADA system by transmitting telemetry data to the system and/or altering the state of connected objects based on control messages received from the system.
A temperature sensing element that operate on the principle of changes in electrical resistance of pure metals (sintered semiconductor material) and are characterized by an almost linear positive change in resistance with temperature.
A physical object that is a totally sealed, gas-insulated compact switchgear unit. The primary switching devices can be either switch disconnectors or fused switch disconnectors or circuit breakers.
A variable area flow meter which consists of a tapered tube of glass with a float inside that is pushed up by flow and pulled down by gravity.
A positive displacement compressor in which compression displacement is effected by the positive action of rotating elements.
A positive displacement pump that consists of a chamber containing gears, cams, screws, vanes, plungers or similar elements actuated by relative rotation of the drive shaft or casing and which has no separate inlet and outlet valves.
A detecting element that is intended to sense rotational speed.
A router is a computer networking device that forwards data packets toward their destinations through a process known as routing. Routing occurs at layer 3 (Network layer) of the OSI seven-layer model.
