21. Definitions and terminology
The major terminology used in this Operation Manual is stated below.
Data transmission speed of a network such as a Fieldbus network.
The speed is determined by upper devices (PLC etc.). The unit is bit
per second (bps).
This is a cycle of sending data from masters to slaves (JXCP1
controller).
An arbitrary name assigned by the user to the PROFINET slave. Every
node on the PROFINET network should have a unique name.
The most commonly used LAN technology that was standardized by
IEEE802.3
An industrial communication system, which uses a defined protocol to
transfer data between devices on a network. A typical automation
system will use a fieldbus network to exchange data between a PLC
master and the actuators/sensors.
Allows a device to be configured for a PROFINET network, using PLC
setting software.
The file describes data exchange, device information and supported
PROFINET features.
A unique address that identifies a device on a network. It is referred to
as a logical address while the MAC address is known as a physical
address.
This is a physical address, which is uniquely assigned to any hardware
device on a network.
This address is permanently written to the device before shipment.
Media Redundancy Protocol
Performs fast switching to a redundant communication route, when a
problem occurs within a Ring network.
Abbreviation of Programmable Logic Controller, a digital computer
used for automation of electromechanical processes.
Connection configuration of the Fieldbus network
Expresses how each terminal and control components are connected.
The typical topology is star type, linear type and ring type.
