devices. This protocol verifies that adapters transmit the most recent data 
because it does not use acknowledgments or retries.
UDDT (user-defined data type) A structure data type that defines the development of an application, (for 
example, to convert 32-bit REAL parameter data for write and read values then 
display them in human readable format).
Update The process of updating firmware in a device. The device can be updated using 
various Allen-Bradley software tools. See Updating the Interface Firmware on 
page 47 for more information.
Zero Data When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the 
interface and drive can respond with zero data. Zero data results in the drive 
receiving zero as values for logic command, reference, and datalink data. If the 
drive was running and by using the reference from the interface, it stays 
running but at zero reference.
