Does this site have a common PLC/automation/industrial measurement abbreviations list? I didn't see anything in the FAQs.
Abbreviations are part of the jargon of any field, so they are an essential part of the learning curve for newbies like me. The nuclear power industry is the most intense I've seen, but I suspect there are others more so (e.g. military).
I found TConnolly's ISA chart here, but I am looking for summat more extensive e.g.
* perhaps instructions should have their own table

Code:
PMUL - Pulse MULtiplier; instruction; scales pulses to another unit
e.g. convert accumulated encoder pulses on a conveyor motor
to conveyor distance*
RIO - Remote Input/Output
RPI - Request Packet Interval; how often an encoder sends (or updates?
or is queried i.e. asked to send?) its current count to the upstream
device (PLC?)
TLA - Three-Letter Abbreviation;-)
XIO - eXamine If Open; instruction; ...; alternates are N/C and NC*
* perhaps instructions should have their own table
