Analogue signals can acquire any value within specific limits.
Automation product
I/O controlling device that is interconnected to a system process.
Programmable controllerss represent a special group of automation
products.
Baud
Unit for the data transfer rate. One baud is equivalent to the
transmission of one bit per second (bps).
Baud rate
Unit of measure of the data transmission speed in bit/s.
