摘要： A method for processing an electrical signal comprises receiving an electrical signal comprising a frequency modulated signal encoding digital data; sampling a first portion of the electrical signal to obtain a plurality of samples to obtain a first sample set; determining an index value from the first sample set by assigning a value to each sample in the first sample set based upon an amplitude of the sample; comparing the determined index value with a plurality of predetermined index values to identify a first output value from a plurality of predetermined output values, each of the predetermined index values corresponding to one of the plurality of predetermined output values; and outputting an indication of the output value. Each of the predetermined output values indicates a respective frequency modulation encoded value and the first output value indicates a frequency modulation encoded value within the first portion of the electrical signal.

摘要： A method of monitoring an analog signal output from a sensor comprising comparing the amplitude of the analog signal to a first high and low threshold, setting a primary monitoring signal to a first value when the amplitude of the analog signal exceeds the first high threshold, setting the primary monitoring signal to a second value when the amplitude of the analog signal decreases below the first low threshold, comparing the amplitude of the analog signal to a second high and low threshold, setting a secondary monitoring signal to a first value when the amplitude of the analog signal exceeds the second high threshold, setting the secondary monitoring signal to a second value when the amplitude of the analog signal decreases below the second low threshold, comparing the primary and secondary monitoring signals and determining from the comparison whether an error exists with the monitoring of the analog signal.

摘要： An imaging system is provided for monitoring a field of view with a two-dimensional array of photo elements on which the field of view is imaged. The imaging system determines for each photo element a distance between the photo element and a surface of an object in the field of view by light emitted into the field of view and subsequently arriving on the photo elements and to determine a distance vector to form a coordinate image that includes the distance vector. A first memory unit stores the coordinate image, a second memory unit stores logical relations for the photo elements. A processing unit determines for each of the photo elements whether a logical relation is fulfilled and outputs a trigger signal when at least one of the logical relations is fulfilled.

摘要： Imaging system includes pixel groups and a trigger generator to generate reset signals and a transfer signal. Each pixel group includes pixels and a programmable memory element to store a first or a second value. Each pixel includes a pixel circuit with a photodiode and a storage capacitance. The pixel circuit, the trigger generator, and the memory element are interconnected to permit the photodiode to be held at a constant voltage when the trigger generator sends the reset signal to the pixel circuit. When the reset signal is switched off, the photodiode accumulates a charge while being irradiated. When the transfer signal is received, the charge is transferred to the storage capacitance. The memory element blocks the transfer signal from arriving on all the pixel circuits when it has stored the first value and passes the transfer signal to all the pixel circuits when it has stored the second value.

摘要： A magnetic latch for industrial environments includes fixed magnetic pole pieces that may be sealed within a housing to resist environmental contamination and which provide for perpendicular engagement faces for use with gates having a rolling or swinging configuration. An RFID tag reader may be incorporated into the magnet assembly of the latch for reading a specially encoded RFID tag in a keeper portion of the magnetic latch.

摘要： A portable actuator and safety switch assembly wherein the portable actuator includes a housing and an actuator for selectively engaging with a control mechanism of said safety switch. The actuator is at least one of partially located within the housing, forms a part of the housing, or is attached to the housing. The assembly includes a controller that controls a configuration of the actuator assembly, such that the actuator assembly can selectively and controllably attain a first configuration wherein the actuator is able to interact with the control mechanism of the safety switch and a second configuration wherein the actuator is unable to manipulate the control mechanism of said safety switch.

摘要： An output module comprises two management units each of which calculates the current demand for the module independently from one another. One management unit controls an output current, controller whilst the other unit monitors the current produced by the output current controller against an independently calculated demand. The output module has multiple output modules. In normal operation, each module provides a portion of the required output current, the total output current being equal to the sum of the currents output by each module. in the event of failure on one of the, modules, the other module or modules switch to providing the total current required and the failed module is switched to a fail safe mode by using an isolation circuit to switch off the output current from that module.

摘要： This invention relates to an apparatus and method for output current control in an Industrial Process Control System, The output module comprises two management units each of which calculates the current demand for the module independently from one another. One management unit controls an output current controller whilst the other unit monitors the current produced by the output current controller against an independently calculated demand. The output module has multiple output modules. However rather than one module providing a backup for the other modules, or alternating between use of each module, in normal operation, each module provides a portion of the required output current, the total output current being equal to the sum of the currents output by each module. In the event of failure on one of the modules, the other module or modules switch to providing the total current required.
