ronmental conditions, e.g. dirt or vibrations. They are slot CPUs with powerful
processors and TFT displays (often with touch screens).

OLE Abbreviation for "Object Linking and Embedding": Integration of operational
objects into other applications, e.g. Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets into Micro-
soft® Word documents.

Microsoft® Windows® technologies OLE, COM and DCOM which enables data

P
PDF Abbreviation for "Portable Document Format". Universal file format devel-
oped by Adobe for the exchange of electronic documents. The Adobe® Read-
er® is provided free of charge and can be used to display and print PDF files
independently of the application and platform used to create them.
PLC Abbreviation for "Programmable Logic Controller".
R
Relative data model Only contains the difference between adjacent Y coordinates and therefore re-
quires less space than the absolute data model. The distance between the X
coordinates is transferred as a fixed-comma value to the target system. This
leads to a certain difference between the imported data and the coordinates
calculated by the target system. To compensate for this inaccuracy, the Y val-
ues are re-calculated by means of interpolation .
• Advantage: Compared to the absolute data model, more points can be
saved.
• Disadvantage: The distance between the X coordinates of the points must
always be the same.
