DescriptionTerm
Discovery Control Protocol. A protocol that allows the master controller to find every
PROFINET IO device on a subnet.

Frequency converter for controlling AC motorsDrive
Electromagnetic compatibilityEMC
Emergency stopE-stop
Function that is initiated when a fault within the safety component is detected by the
component's diagnostic function. (62061-3.2.18, modified)
Fault reaction function
Failure in time: 1E-9 hours (IEC 61508)FIT
General Station Description file, an ASCII-format device description file in a specified
form. Each different slave type on the PROFINET IO network needs to have its own
GSD file. GSD files in PROFINET IO are written in GSDML.

Proof test interval. Defines the probabilistic failure rate (PFH or PFD) for the safety
function or subsystem. Performing a proof test at a maximum interval of T1 is required
to keep the SIL capability valid. The same interval must be followed to keep the PL
capability (EN ISO 13849) valid. Note that any T1 values given cannot be regarded
as a guarantee or warranty.
