Hi, my name is Vincent Mbulwa Kawanga. I have been studying automation at college Ahuntsic since 2023 winter semester, and i'm running through my fifth semester. I'm going to introduce some technicals words that can be very helpfull to learn for people having interest on industrial automation.
Hope you'll have fun reading this.
Automate controller
Noun
A distributed control system drive product that is based on the Multibusplatform and used primarily by the Rockwell Automation Drive Systems Group. It is a multi-tasking multi-processing multi-language system designed specifically for control of large coordinated drive systems, but may be used for other applications as well.
Example: Using an automate controller is a great way to reduce risk in industrial applications.

Data
Noun
A general term for any type of information
Example: Data are very sensitive information, so they need to be protected with a good security system

Debugging
Noun
The process of detecting, locating, and correcting errors in hardware or software.
Example: The development time and cost of systems can be reduced by reusable verified open design cores where the DEBUGGING is shared between designers

Diode
Noun
A solid-state unidirectional conductor.
Example: Semiconductor DIODE detectors can improve the efficiency and resolution but have other drawbacks.
en: Diode
Disk drive
Noun
The device that writes data to or reads data from a disk.
Example: Hard disk drives offer more storage for less money. Not only are they good for storing files you don't access as often, but they're a cheaper way to get enough backup storage, too.

Drive
noun
An electronic device that can control the speed, torque, horsepower, and direction of an ac or dc motor.
Example: The connections between DRIVE boards and stepper motors have been done as well.
en: Variateur de vitesse
Duty cycle
noun
The ratio of working time to total time for an intermittently operating device. Usually expressed as a percentage.
Example: For instance, if the DUTY CYCLE was 75% then the motor connected to the circuit would run at ¾ of its maximum speed. 2.5 To select a suitable PWM frequency for the robots motors, it is first necessary to deduce what the maximum frequency they can operate at before they are damaged.

Flowchart
A graphic representation for the definition, analysis, or solution of a problem. Symbols used to represent a process or sequence of decisions and events.
Example: Decision FLOWCHART to identify whether or not outsourcing is appropriate, several background questions must be answered.
en: Organigramme
Flowmeter
noun
An instrument that measures and indicates the rate of flow of a liquid or gas.
Example: The nitrous oxide FLOWMETER was "turned up to near the top of its range", the panel said.
en: Débitmètre
Gate
noun
A logic element that blocks or passes a signal, depending on the status of specified input signals.
Example: There is a lot of type of gates, an AND gate permit the establishment of an output signal when the two input signals are true.
en: Porte logique
Grafcet
noun
A European equivalent of a sequential function chart.
Example: A specification can be studied by relying on a grafcet approach.

HMI
noun
Human Interface Module.
Example: In 2015 RTX, then called Raytheon, expanded capacity at its subsidiary HMI, where the company makes the powdered metal, to support additional capacity required for GTF ramp-up.

Instruction
noun
An action statement. Ladder logic has input and output instructions. Each time the program scan reaches a rung, its input instructions are executed to examine whether specific conditions are true. If this results in an unbroken path of true input elements, the output instruction is enabled.
Example: In order to manage it, the bidder seller sends an INSTRUCTION which is called "areyouavble" to the first server.

Motor
noun
A device that converts some other form of energy into mechanical energy.
Example: The difference between the directions of the current flowing through the MOTOR winding causes the different pole created. This allows the stepper-MOTOR doing the operation introduced above.
en: Moteur
Noise
noun
Unwanted disturbances imposed upon a signal that tend to obscure its data content.
Example: Unlike NOISE, if the characteristics are known, then the interference can often be suppressed by filtering or subtraction.
