Record 7 2011-03-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Internet and Telematics
DEF

The state of data circuit-terminating equipment when connected to a communication channel but not in a talk or dial mode.

CONT

Point-to-Point Line Control... The first step in establishing the connection is to dial the distant machine. When the connection is made, the answering data set must be placed in its "data mode" so that it is ready to receive and transmit data.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Internet et télématique
CONT

L'échange de données conformes au PSA [protocole standard d'accès], par le réseau Datapac, se fait au moyen de circuits virtuels [...] Il existe deux types de circuits virtuels : les circuits commutés et les circuits permanents [...] Le recours aux circuits virtuels permanents rend inutile l'opération d'établissement de la communication étant donné que les terminaux sont toujours en mode transmission et réception de données.

Record 10 1999-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

Point-to-point robot. This control method is perhaps the simplest and most frequently used. Teaching is done by moving each axis of the robot individually until the combination of axis positions yields the desired position of the robot end effector. When this desired position or point is reached, it is programmed into memory, thereby storing the individual position of each robot axis. In replaying these stored points, each axis runs at its maximum or limited rate until it reaches its final position.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
OBS

Commande point à point : (...) le mouvement du robot industriel est défini pour un nombre fini de poses pour lesquelles il doit passer; la pose et la vitesse en chacun de ces points sont programmées (...)

Record 11 1998-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Machine-Tooling (Metallurgy)
DEF

A robot used for spotwelding and consisting of three main parts : a mechanical structure comprising the body, arm and wrist; a welding tool; and a control unit. The mechanical structure serves to position the welding tool at any point within the working volume and orient the tool in any given direction so that it can perform the appropriate task.

OBS

An individual with no experience might think that a spot-welding robot and an arc-welding robot are the same but with different welding equipment. Actually, these are two different robotic systems; the control of spot-welding robot is based upon a point-to-point operation... arc welding... requires a continuous-path system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
  • Usinage (Métallurgie)
CONT

Les robots peuvent mettre ensemble des choses isolées ou éparses; ce sont les robots d'assemblage [...]. Ils sont de divers types : robots de soudage (on dit aussi soudure) par points [...], robots de soudage à l'arc [...].

Record 12 1996-05-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Video Technology
OBS

Access is instantaneous and full VCR-type control is possible. The range of program types is considerably greater and, since a copy is made for each individual user via a point-to-point connection, more storage is required.

Record 13 1984-03-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
DEF

(...) A system where the moving pattern of the manipulator is taught-in by means of recording a number of separate points. The exact time of recording for each point is decided manually. (SYMMI p. 7)

CONT

The robot is taught via a direct or portable control box using a PTP(point-to-point) system which records the various points on the required path and automatically ignores any superfluous movements that may have occurred during the programming.(FITI June 3, 81)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
DEF

Type de commande où le mouvement est défini par un nombre fini de points de passage obligatoire. (AFNOR I)

CONT

Le soudage à l'arc est une application typique pour laquelle la programmation point-à-point est avantageuse; la commande s'assimile dans ce cas à un asservissement de position. (NOVO Avril 81 p. 57)
