Transmission rates tend
to be high, and costs tend to be low.
latch -an element that can have a certain input or output lock in. In PLCs these can hold an output on after an initial pulse, such as a stop button.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) -a fluid between two sheets of light can be polarized to block light. These are
commonly used in low power displays, but they require backlighting.
leakage current -a small amount of current that will be present when a device is off.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) -a semiconductor light that is based on a diode.
LIFO (Last In First Out) -similar to FIFO, but the last item pushed onto the stack is the first pulled off.
limitswitch-a mechanicalswitchactuated by motionina process.
line printer -an old printer style that prints single lines of text. Most people will be familiar with dot matrix styleof lineprinters.
linear -describes a mathematical characteristic of a system where the differential equations are simple linear equations with coefficients.
little-endian -transmission or storage of data when the least significant byte/bit comes first.
load -In electrical system a load is an output that draws current and consumes power. In mechanical systems
it is a mass, or a device that consumes power, such as a turbine.
load cell -a device for measuring large forces.
logic -1. the ability to make decisions based on given values.
