Ping
A ping is a message that is sent by a SCANport product to its peripheral
devices. They use the ping to gather data about the product, including
whether it can receive messages and whether they can log in for control.
R
Reference/Feedback
The Reference is used to send a Reference (for example, speed,
frequency, torque) to the drive. It consists of one 16-bit word of input to
the module from the network.
Feedback is used to monitor the speed of the drive. It consists of one
16-bit word of output from the module to the network.

S
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 modules connected to a network. See also

SCANport
SCANport is a standard peripheral communication interface used by
various Allen-Bradley drives and power products, such as 1305 and 1336
PLUS II drives.
SCANport Peripheral
A device that provides an interface between SCANport and a network or
user. Peripheral devices are also referred to as “modules” or “adapters.”
The serial converter and HIMs are examples of SCANport peripherals.
