GENERIC TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
Unless otherwise specified, this manual uses the following generic terms and abbreviations.
Term Description
4-axis module Another term for RD78G4
8-axis module Another term for RD78G8
16-axis module Another term for RD78G16
Axis A target for motion control
Buffer memory A memory in an intelligent function module, where data (such as setting values and monitoring values) are
stored. When using the CPU module, the memory is indicated for storing data (such as setting values and
monitored values) of the Ethernet function and data used for data communication of the multiple CPU function.
CC-Link IE TSN A high-speed and large-capacity open field network that is based on Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
Command generation axis An axis that performs only command generation. "Command generation axis" is not included in the number of
controlled axes of the controller.
Device Various types of memories (X, Y, M, D, or others) in a CPU module
Global label A label that is enabled for all program data when creating multiple program data in the project. There are two
types of global labels: module label that is automatically generated by GX Works3 and label that can be created
for the any of the specified devices.
GX Works3 The product name of the software package for the MELSEC programmable controllers
Intelligent function module A module that has functions other than input and output, such as an A/D converter module and D/A converter
module
Label A variable used in a program
Module label A label that represents one of memory areas (I/O signals and buffer memory areas) specific to each module in a
given character string. GX Works3 automatically generates this label, which can be used as a global label.
Motion module Another term for RD78G
MR Configurator2 The product name of the setup software for the servo amplifier
MR-J5-G MR-J5-_G_(-RJ) servo amplifier
MR-J5W-G MR-J5W_-_G servo amplifier
RD78G Another term for the MELSEC iQ-R series Motion module (compatible with CC-Link IE TSN)
Servo amplifier axis A servo amplifier or virtual servo amplifier controlled by a controller. "Servo amplifier axis" is included in the
number of controlled axes of the controller.
