Glossary
I&M data
Identification and maintenance data.
Information stored in a module that helps you to check the plant configuration, to locate
hardware modifications in a plant, or to remedy faults in a plant. I&M data can be used to
identify modules uniquely on the network.
I/O
The term I/O devices is used in automation engineering to refer to peripheral devices, for
example, devices that are connected to centralized controls.
Independent operation
SIMOCODE pro protects and controls the motor feeder, independently of the automation
system. Even if the automation system (PLC) fails, or if communication is disrupted, the
motor feeder remains fully protected and controllable. SIMOCODE pro can be used without
being connected to the communication bus. This can easily be connected later, if required.
Initialization module
Memory module permanently installed in the switchboard or the motor control center in
which the device parameters of intelligent switching devices are stored.
The initialization module is used in motor control centers with a withdrawable design in which
all functions concerning the motor feeder are fitted in an exchangeable withdrawable
module.
The initialization module can be permanently installed in the switchboard and enables
backup of all parameters of a system and completely automatic transmission to a new
system, e.g. device replacement.
IP address
To enable a PROFINET device to be addressed as a node on Industrial Ethernet, this device
also requires an IP address that is unique within the network. The IP address is made up of
4 decimal numbers with a range of values from 0 through 255. The decimal numbers are
separated by a decimal point.
The IP address is made up of
● The address of the (sub)net and
● The address of the node (generally called the host or network node)
IT system
The IT system (FR Isolé Terre) is a specific type of ground connection for increased fail-safe
protection in case of insulation faults.
