1.3 Terminology used
Term Meaning
Controllers The Controller is the central component of the Lenze automation system which control
the motion sequences by means of the application software.
The Controller communicates with the field devices (inverters) via the fieldbus.
Engineering PC The Engineering PC and the Engineering tools installed serve to configure and
parameterise the system "Controller-based Automation".
The Engineering PC communicates with the controller via Ethernet.
Engineering tools Software solutions for easy engineering in all phases which serve to commission,
configure, parameterise and diagnose the Lenze automation system.

Bus systems
CAN CAN (Controller Area Network) is an asynchronous, serial fieldbus system.
CANopen® is a communication protocol based on CAN. The Lenze system bus (CAN on
board) operates with a subset of this communication protocol.
CANopen® is a registered community trademark of the CAN user organisation CiA® (CAN
in Automation e. V.).
DeviceNet™ is a fieldbus system based on CAN (Controller Area Network).
DeviceNet™ is a trademark and patented technology, licensed by the user organisation
ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association), USA.
EtherCAT® (Ethernet for Controller and Automation Technology) is an Ethernet-based
fieldbus system which fulfils the application profile for industrial real-time systems.
EtherCAT® is a registered trademark and patented technology, licenced by Beckhoff
Automation GmbH, Germany.
