  2. Mechanical–electrical analogies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical–electrical...

    The rotational impedance analogy describes rotating mechanical systems and gives rise to the idea of rotational impedance. The unit of rotational impedance in the SI system is N-m-s/rad. [30] The acoustical impedance analogy gives rise to the idea of acoustic impedance. The unit of acoustic impedance is the acoustic ohm; in SI units this is N-s ...

  3. Control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_unit

    The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor. A CU typically uses a binary decoder to convert coded instructions into timing and control signals that direct the operation of the other units (memory, arithmetic logic unit and input and output devices, etc.).

  4. Impedance analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_analogy

    The impedance analogy is a method of representing a mechanical system by an analogous electrical system. The advantage of doing this is that there is a large body of theory and analysis techniques concerning complex electrical systems, especially in the field of filters. [1]

  5. Analogical models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogical_models

    Analogical models, also called "analog" or "analogue" models, seek the analogous systems that share properties with the target system as a means of representing the world. It is often practicable to construct source systems that are smaller and/or faster than the target system so that one can deduce a priori knowledge of target system behaviour ...

  6. Programmable logic controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_controller

    PLC system in a rack, left-to-right: power supply unit (PSU), CPU, interface module (IM) and communication processor (CP) Control panel with PLC (gray elements in the center). The unit consists of separate elements, from left to right: power supply , controller, relay units for input and output.

  7. Hydraulic analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy

    Hydraulic systems are deceptively simple: the phenomenon of pump cavitation is a known, complex problem that few people outside of the fluid power or irrigation industries would understand. For those who do, the hydraulic analogy is amusing, as no "cavitation" equivalent exists in electrical engineering.

  8. Analogue electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogue_electronics

    Analogue electronics (American English: analog electronics) are electronic systems with a continuously variable signal, in contrast to digital electronics where signals usually take only two levels. The term analogue describes the proportional relationship between a signal and a voltage or current that represents the signal.

  9. Controllability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controllability

    Controllability is an important property of a control system and plays a crucial role in many control problems, such as stabilization of unstable systems by feedback, or optimal control. Controllability and observability are dual aspects of the same problem.
