Terms Definition
Controller A solid-state control system that has a user-programmable memory for
storage of instructions to implement specific functions such
as I/O control, logic, timing, counting, report generation, communica-
tion, arithmetic, and data file manipulation. A controller is also called a
“programmable logic controller” or “processor.”
Remote I/O I/O connected to a processor across a serial link. With a serial link,
remote I/O can be located long distances from the processor.
Remote I/O
Communications
Module This module connects a SCANport product to a Remote I/O link. There
are three types of Remote I/O communications modules: 1203-GD1
module, 1203-GK1 module, and 1336-GM1 board. The Remote I/O
module is also referred to as “adapter,” “module,” and communications
module.”
SCANport A standard peripheral communications interface for various
Allen-Bradley drives and power products.
SCANport
Peripheral A device that provides an interface between SCANport and a commu-
nications system such as Remote I/O. It is often referred to as an
adapter or communications module. For example, the Remote I/O
module is a SCANport peripheral.
SCANport
Product A device that uses the SCANport communications interface to commu-
nicate with one or more peripheral devices. For example, a motor drive
such as a 1336 PLUS is a SCANport product.
