Signal generating circuitry denoting dependent machine part position - has transducer connected via serial channel to processor assembly with master-slave capability

摘要

A circuit for producing a number of signals with start and end dependent on the position of a reciprocating machine part contains a position transducer (2) connected to a processor assembly (4) via a serial communication chanel (3). The processor assembly contains at least one processor which determines the start and end of the signals on its parallel outputs (5) from the transducer output signals. The processor assembly is connected to an input/output unit (12) and, as master, to slave assemblies (6,7). USE/ADVANTAGE - Controlling machine processor e.g. for a press. Flexibly accommodates required number of signals with low cable costs.
