About Machine Controllers and Monitors
Machine controllers and monitors use electronic numeric control and monitoring interfaces for programming and calibrating computerized machinery. They are available in form factors such as card, desktop, DIN rail, embedded, handheld, panel mounted, and rack mounted. Machine controllers and monitors with a card form factor are designed to be plugged into a backplane. Desktop or standalone devices are sometimes described as towers. Machine controllers and monitors that are designed for mounting on a DIN rail or meant to be embedded used in many applications. Handheld, portable, panel mount, and rack mount devices are also commonly available.
Machine controllers and monitors have electrical, drive, memory, and application specifications. Electrical ratings include AC supply voltage, DC supply voltage, and AC input frequency (50, 60 or 400 Hz). Drives are defined by resolution, number of axes, and drive power. Resolution is the number of binary digits (bits) that machine controllers and monitors use characterize an analog signal. The number of axes that the device can drive or control varies. Often, follower or dependent axes are listed as "half" axes. Drive power is specified in either watts (W) or horsepower (hp). With regard to memory, the most important specifications are random access memory (RAM) and Flash RAM. Machine controllers and monitors are used in aerospace, automotive, marine, medical, military, and general industrial applications.
