The company was founded in 1930. The company's original name, American Machine and Metals, was changed to AMETEK in the early 1960s, reflecting its evolution from a provider of heavy machinery to a manufacturer of analytical instruments, precision components and specialty materials. [5] AMETEK has been ranked as high as 402 on the Fortune 500.
Powervar manufactures power protection systems and equipment used in areas such as retail or medical industries. [1] The company has presence in USA, Canada, Germany, UK, and the Middle East. In 2013 Powervar was acquired by AMETEK for $128 million. In that year the company had nearly $70 million in sales. [2]
In June 2016 Uwe Lorenz got a new business task within the Ametek group at the sister company MAE in Robecco sul Naviglio near Milan. So Markus Roth managed the company alone. [3] Since October 2017 Uwe Lorenz has managed Dunkermotoren with Matthew C. French who operates as an interim manager. He also works as Senior Vice President at Ametek. [4]
It was first published in 1993; [1] the current (third) edition dates from 2013. [2] It was known as IEC 1131 before the change in numbering system by IEC. The parts of the IEC 61131 standard are prepared and maintained by working group 7, programmable control systems, of subcommittee SC 65B of Technical Committee TC65 of the IEC.
A PLC is an industrial microprocessor-based controller with programmable memory used to store program instructions and various functions. [21] It consists of: A processor unit (CPU) which interprets inputs, executes the control program stored in memory and sends output signals, A power supply unit which converts AC voltage to DC,
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are the modern-day technology improvement on breadboards, meaning that they are not made to be application-specific as opposed to ASICs. Programmable logic blocks and programmable interconnects allow the same FPGA to be used in many different applications. For smaller designs or lower production volumes ...
A simplified PAL device. The programmable elements (shown as a fuse) connect both the true and complemented inputs to the AND gates. These AND gates, also known as product terms, are ORed together to form a sum-of-products logic array. A programmable logic device (PLD) is an electronic component used to build reconfigurable digital circuits.
Technology node 1 μm. A complex programmable logic device (CPLD) is a programmable logic device with complexity between that of PALs and FPGAs, and architectural features of both. The main building block of the CPLD is a macrocell, which contains logic implementing disjunctive normal form expressions and more specialized logic operations.
