JIC (Joint Industrial Council) Standards
• JIC (Joint Industrial Council) Standards were written in the early 1950s
by a joint committee of major machine tool builders and users. The
purpose was to provide a uniform set of basic practices which would
result in a well-built machine tool. Four standards were written:
Electrical (EMP-1-67/EGP-1-67); Electronic EL-11-1971); Hydraulic (H-
1-1973); and Pneumatic (P-1-1975).
German Institute for Standardization (DIN)

• DIN, Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (German Institute for Standardization)
develops norms and standards for rationalization, quality assurance,
environmental protection, safety and communication in industry, technology,
science, and government, as well as the public domain. DIN standards provide
companies a basis for quality, safety and minimum functionality expectations and
enable you to:

• Minimize risk
• Improve marketability
• Promote interoperability

 Relay Functions

Inversion ~ Converting a Normally Open contact to a Normally

Closed signal

Multiplication ~ A single coil is able to drive multiple Loads

Power Amplification ~ A small input signal is able to drive a

large output signal

Voltage Change ~ From DC to AC supply or AC to DC Supply

Memory Function ~ Using the self holding circuit to create

memory in circuit
