Glossary
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet Software
A software tool for configuring and monitoring DeviceNet networks and
connected devices. It is a 32-bit Windows application that can be used on
computers running various Microsoft Windows operating systems. Information
about RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software can be found at
.
Scanner
A scanner is a separate module (of a multi-module controller) or a built-in
component (of a single-module controller) that provides communication with
option modules connected to a network. See also Controller.
SI (Serial Interface)
A next generation communication interface used by various Allen-Bradley drives,
such as PowerFlex 750-Series drives.
Status Indicators
LEDs that are used to report the status of the option module, network, and drive.
They are on the option module and can be viewed when the drive is powered and
its cover is removed.
Stop Action
When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
option module and drive can respond with a stop action. A stop action results in
the drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command, Reference, and Datalink
data. If the drive was running and using the Reference from the option module, it
will stay running but at zero Reference.
Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000 Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio
5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000 software and will continue to be
the product to program Logix 5000 controllers for discrete, process, batch,
motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for
design engineers to develop all the elements of their control system.
UCMM (UnConnected Message
Manager)
UCMM provides a method to create connections between DeviceNet devices.
UDDT (User-Defined Data Type)
A structure data type that you define during the development of an application
(for example, to convert 32-bit REAL parameter data for written and read values
to correctly display them in human readable format).
Update
The process of updating firmware in a device. The option module can be updated
using various Allen-Bradley software tools. See
for more information.
Zero Data
When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
option module and drive can respond with zero data. Zero data results in the
drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command, Reference, and Datalink data.
If the drive was running and using the Reference from the option module, it will
stay running but at zero Reference.
