  2. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In contrast to a simple light switch, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch, multiway switching uses switches with one or more additional contacts and two or more wires are run between the switches. When the load is controlled from only two points, single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are used.

    One-way: Two-way: A simple on-off switch: The two terminals are either connected together or disconnected from each other. An example is a light switch. SPST-NO. Form A [4] Single pole, single throw, normally open A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally disconnected (open) and are closed when the switch is activated.

  4. Message-waiting indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message-waiting_indicator

    This feature is also frequently called (and abbreviated) as visual message waiting indicator (VMWI). A VMWI, as defined in Telcordia GR-1401-CORE, is a stored program controlled switching (SPCS) system feature that activates and deactivates a visual indicator on customer-premises equipment (CPE) to notify the customer that new messages are waiting.

    Stack light in automated production for in-line quality inspection. Stack lights (also known as signal tower lights, indicator lights, andon lights, warning lights, industrial signal lights, or tower lights) are commonly used on equipment in industrial manufacturing and process control environments to provide visual and audible indicators of a machine's status to machine operators, technicians ...

  6. Double switching - Wikipedia

    At least two separate faults would be required to allow this relay to close inadvertently. Double switching , double cutting , or double breaking is the practice of using a multipole switch to close or open both the positive and negative sides of a DC electrical circuit , or both the hot and neutral sides of an AC circuit.

  7. Wireless light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_light_switch

    Dimmer light switch with RF-based remote control [1] A wireless light switch is a light switch that commands a light or home appliance to turn itself off or on, instead of interrupting the power line going to the light fixture. There are different ways to communicate between the switch and the fixture: [2]

  8. RF switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_switch

    Below is a list of typical switch configurations and usage: Single pole, double throw (SPDT or 1:2) switches route signals from one input to two output paths. Single pole double throw (SPDT) switch from Agilent Technologies. Multiport switches or single pole, multiple throw (SPnT) switches allow a single input to multiple (three or more) output ...

  9. Nonblocking minimal spanning switch - Wikipedia

    Engineers also noticed that at any time, each bar of a crossbar switch was only making a single connection. The other contacts on the two bars were unused. This seemed to imply that most of the switching fabric of a crossbar switch was wasted. The obvious way to emulate a crossbar switch was to find some way to build it from smaller crossbar ...
