Glossary
A
Application
Implementation of a precise function/drive solution (e.g. speed control) on an
individual device.
Application Samples
Predefined application samples/sample projects for commissioning Lenze
inverters.
Application templates
Lenze application template for creating standardised modular applications in
the »PLC Designer«.
B
Bus server
Fieldbus-specific OPC server according to DRIVECOM specification.
C
CAL
Abbreviation for "CAN Application Layer". Communication standard (CiA DS
201-207) which provides the objects, protocols and services for the event or
polling-controlled transfer of CAN messages and the transfer of greater data
areas between CAN nodes. Furthermore, CAL offers powerful processes for an
automatic assignment of message identifiers, the initialisation of network
nodes and the assignment of an individual identification to network nodes.
CAN
Abbreviation for "Controller Area Network". Serial, message-oriented (not
node-oriented) bus system for max. 127 nodes.
CANopen
Communication profile (CiA DS-301, version 4.01), developed under the CiA
umbrella association ("CAN in Automation") in conformity with CAL ("CAN
Application Layer").
CiA
Abbreviation for "CAN in Automation (e. V.)": International manufacturer and
user organisation with the target to worldwide distribute the knowledge of
the internationally standardised CAN bus system (ISO 11898) and promote its
technical further development.
Internet:
COM
Abbreviation for "Component Object Model": Architecture developed by
Microsoft ® for the co-operation of individual executable software
components (objects) which communicate with each other in a similar
manner and are not connected until the program is running.
Communication module
Device extension which for instance extends an inverter by a communication
interface and which can neither fulfil a function nor is able to communicate
without a device.
Controller
The Controller enables central control and/or visualisation of machines.
"Controller-based Automation" refers to the central Lenze control technology
using Controllers as control centre.
