Programmable Logic
Controller: An electronic device that scans on/off type inputs and controls
on/off type outputs. The relationship between the inputs and
outputs are programmable by the user.
Quadrature: When relating to a shaft encoder, indicates that there are two
oscillating outputs whose frequencies are 90° out of phase.
Resolver: A type of feedback device which converts mechanical position
into an electrical signal. A resolver is a variable transformer
that divides the impressed AC signal into a sine and cosine
output signal. The phase of these two signals represent the
absolute position of the resolver shaft.
