permissif d\'ouverture opening permissive /switch/ Explanation: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/digital/chpt-6/perm... A practical application of switch and relay logic is in control systems where several process conditions have to be met before a piece of equipment is allowed to start. A good example of this is burner control for large combustion furnaces. In order for the burners in a large furnace to be started safely, the control system requests “permission” from several process switches, including high and low fuel pressure, air fan flow check, exhaust stack damper position, access door position, etc. Each process condition is called a permissive, and each permissive switch contact is wired in series, so that if any one of them detects an unsafe condition, the circuit will be opened opening permissives: https://powerplanta2z.blogspot.fr/2015/04/interlocks-4600.ht... /valve/ opening permissive switch: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1129/ML112970519.pdf Some client TMs I have consistently use "permissive signals" for "permissifs" - will depend what fits in your context, but basically it seems to be a signal that automatically opens or closes the valve in question. |

permissif d\'ouverture open enable Explanation: With the added context, I see this as being a logic signal (FP or OP) which can have 2 states '1' and '0'. It seems to be saying that regardless of the state of this FP signal, if an emergency close signal comes along, it will operate the valve anyway. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2017-01-23 20:55:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Might be better to consider 'permettre' here as 'enabling'? In which case, you might be able to use something like 'open/close enable', since 'an enable' is perfectly acceptable in technical EN. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 jours20 heures (2017-01-26 16:08:06 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- From Moira B's references and then from a subsequent EN > FR question that came in, I learnt that 'permissive' as suggested by Moira is indeed used in this sort of context. |
