Auto-selectors

Frequently, a situation is encountered where two or more variables must not be allowed to exceed specified limits for reasons of economy, efficiency, or safety. If the number of controlled variables is greater than the number of manipulated variables, then a selection must be made for control purposes (SISO). A selector is used to accomplish this. Selectors are available in both electronic and pneumatic versions. The only difference between selectors is the number of inputs a particular hardware implementation may be able to accommodate. In this section, specific examples of such selectors will be discussed. It must be kept in mind that these are only a few examples of such auto selectors [4],... 

Errors that resulted in the component being unavailable when needed—For example, equipment not restored to full operability following maintenance, testing, or inspection. Valves left closed, actuation or protective systems not reconnected, slip-blinds left in the line, or failing to return pump selector switches to the standby auto-start position are common examples. 

I installed the M-l6 parts and was waiting until I had the 70 to order the Auto-Sear. On impulse, I fired the rifle, first in semi auto and then flipped the selector to the third position, which is full auto on the M-l6 and should be nothing on the AR-15. Man, was I surprised.lt went full auto, not runaway, but a controlled burst. I switched several times from semi to full and the gun functioned smooth as anything. All of this without any machining, Auto-Sear, or gadgets at all. 

To measure resistance, the multimeter must first be set to measure ohms. This is done either through a button on the front or through the selector dial. (Assume for the rest of this book that we are using newer auto-ranging multimeters.) Then the component to be measured must be connected properly between the probes (see the warning and Figure 1.22). The meter will then display the resistance value of the component being measured. 

Check selector switch 2a. (1) Should be in AUTO position. 

Investigations revealed that the plane had undergone maintenance the night before. The maintenance crew had completed pressurization system checks, but failed to return the Pressurization Mode Selector switch to the Auto mode. The maintenance crew had left it in Manual mode, used for testing. The flight crew always flew in Auto mode and did not detect the failure of the maintenance crew. ... 

America, San Jose, CA, USA, and Scientific Software Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA, versions for Hitachi LaChrom and LaChromElite hardware and EZChromElite software were launched. Partnership with Agilent Technologies resulted in the creation of a powerful version that supports Agilent 1100 LC and LC/MS systems with six columns and twelve solvent selectors. Further systems supported by ChromSword Auto are Waters Alliance LC systems with Millenium and Empower softwares. ChromSword Auto also supports 2-8 column and 2-16 solvent switching valves for all HPLC systems described. 

There is no reason for auto-manual transfer switches in any of the con trollers, if there is a transfer switch at the output of the selector. Because of the common feedback circuit, transfer to manual at that point, will not cause windup. 

The different on-off devices may be actuated in Automatic Mode when this option is selected by means of an AUTO-MANUAL selector available at the local command board. 

The Motors Control Center (MCC), is electrically connected to a Field Unit (FU).Auto/manual and local/remote selectors are available in front of the Motor Control Center panel. The Auto/manual and local/remote status is sent to the Supervision and Control System through the Field Units.
