Applies to elements (step control elements) which assign to several value ranges for an input signal in the steady state the same number of different values as for the .
Elements featuring two-point performance or step control action generate an amplitude pattern at the output (Figure M 10).
Examples: contact mechanisms on shafts and slides, limit signal switches, on/off switches, switching valves and the like (DIN 19 226).
