  2. Transfer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_switch

    Simplified single line diagram of a single-phase transfer switch to select either 'city' (utility) power or local generator power 3-phase Intelligent transfer switch. A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a load between two sources. Some transfer switches are manual, in that an operator effects the transfer by throwing a ...

  3. Control loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_loop

    A control loop is the fundamental building block of control systems in general and industrial control systems in particular. It consists of the process sensor, the controller function, and the final control element (FCE) which controls the process necessary to automatically adjust the value of a measured process variable (PV) to equal the value of a desired set-point (SP).

  4. Panel switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_switch

    The Panel Machine Switching System is a type of automatic telephone exchange for urban service that was used in the Bell System in the United States for seven decades. The first semi-mechanical types of this design were installed in 1915 in Newark, New Jersey , and the last were retired in the same city in 1983.

  5. Industrial process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_process_control

    The system diagram for representing control loops is a Piping and instrumentation diagram. Commonly used control systems include programmable logic controller (PLC), Distributed Control System (DCS) or SCADA. Example of level control system of a continuous stirred-tank reactor. The flow control into the tank would be cascaded off the level control.

  6. Switch - Wikipedia

    A simple break-before-make changeover switch: C (COM, Common) is connected either to L1 or to L2. SPCO SPTT, c.o. Single pole changeover or single pole, centre off or single pole, triple throw Similar to SPDT. Some suppliers use SPCO/SPTT for switches with a stable off position in the centre and SPDT for those without.

  7. Transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function

    sky mini Market 1] In engineering, a transfer function (also known as system function [1] or network function) of a system, sub-system, or component is a mathematical function that models the system's output for each possible input. [2] [3] [4] It is widely used in electronic engineering tools like circuit simulators and control systems.

  8. Functional flow block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_flow_block_diagram

    Figure 1: Functional flow block diagram format. [1] A functional flow block diagram (FFBD) is a multi-tier, time-sequenced, step-by-step flow diagram of a system's functional flow. [2] The term "functional" in this context is different from its use in functional programming or in mathematics, where pairing "functional" with "flow" would be ...

  9. Control-flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-flow_diagram

    Process-control-flow diagram, used in process management; Quality-control-flow diagram, used in quality control. In software and systems development, control-flow diagrams can be used in control-flow analysis, data-flow analysis, algorithm analysis, and simulation. Control and data are most applicable for real time and data-driven systems.
