Dutch term

messcheidingsklemmen = knife isolation brackets ?

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Report on PLC panel
The terms appears in a text on a PLC panel. Here is the paragraph:

'Al de klemmen in het bord bieden geen mogelijkheid tot het selectief scheiden van signalen. M.a.w. er zijn geen messcheidingsklemmen gebruikt.'

scheidingklemmen = isolation brackets

messschakelaar = knife switch

Would this mean that the 'messscheidingsklemmen'
are 'knife isolation brackets'? (No hits on Google)?

All help appreciated!
Proposed translations (English)
4 isolating blade terminals

Thank you, and I did not take your remark cynically :-)
Koen Roelens Aug 23, 2004:
Wasn't meant to be a cynical remark, just good-natured scoff. I appreciate your appreciation.

Dear 'Roelens' thanks for your help anyway, I'll keep your suggestion as a back-up.
Koen Roelens Aug 23, 2004:
Brilliant!

That is: the term appears ... (typing too hastily)

"De signalen uit het veld worden bij Shell eerst naar een rangeerkast geleid en van daaruit aan een functionele voorselectie met aansluitklemmen gekoppeld. De rangeerkast maakt testmetingen en diagnoseprocedures mogelijk, meestal door het onderbreken van de stroomkring met *[[messcheidingsklemmen]]*. De ingangssignalen worden vanuit de rangeerkast via remote-kabels naar een tweede, zogenaamde converter- of interfacekast geleid. De interfacekast bevat signaalconverters voor het omzetten van stroom in spanning en isolatieconverters voor explosieve en niet-explosieve bereiken. De spanningssignalen worden vanuit de interfacekast naar het besturingssysteem geleid."

"At Shell, signals from the field are first transmitted to a jumper cabinet and then coupled with terminal blocks according to preset functions. The jumper cabinet enables test measurements and diagnostic procedures to be carried out, usually by interrupting the circuit using *[[isolating blade terminals]]*. The input signals are transferred from the jumper cabinet to a second converter or interface cabinet via a remote cable. The interface cabinet contains signal converters for converting current into voltage and isolation converters for e and non-explosive areas. The voltage signals are transmitted from the interface cabinet to the control system."
