G-2 Glossary
DSI Product
A device that uses the DSI communications interface to communicate
with one or more peripheral devices. For example, a motor drive such as
a PowerFlex 4-Class drive is a DSI product. In this manual, a DSI
product is also referred to as “drive” or “host.”

E EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) Files
Simple text files that are used by network configuration tools to describe
products so that you can easily commission them on a network. EDS
files describe a product device type, revision, and configurable
parameters. EDS files for many Allen-Bradley products can be found at
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds .
F Fault Action
A fault action determines how the adapter and connected drive act when
a communications fault (for example, a cable is disconnected) occurs.
Fault Configuration
When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the adapter and PowerFlex drive can respond with a
user-defined fault configuration. The user sets the data that is sent to the
drive using specific fault configuration parameters in the adapter. When
a fault action parameter is set to use the fault configuration data and a
fault occurs, the data from these parameters is sent as the Logic
Command and/or Reference.
