| ANALOGUE |
A command that can vary between
the minimum and maximum value of a voltage or current. |
| RECEIVING
UNIT |
A device which, when connected
to the machine to be controlled, decodes the digital data
sequence and transforms it into electrical impulses which
the machine needs in order to carry out the command selected
by the operator on the portable transmitting unit. |
| TRANSMITTING
UNIT |
A portable unit which communicates,
to the receiving unit, the sequence of digital data that
forms the command selected by the operator using the transmitting
unit command devices (pushbuttons, selectors, joysticks).
