Glossary
The properties and options of an I/O device are described in a Generic Station Description (GSD)
file. This file is written in GSDML (GSD Markup Language) - an extension of XML - and is used as
a planning tool to plan the configuration for PROFINET IO systems.
PROFINET IO
PROFINET IO (Input Output) is used to control cameras and other actuators by means of a central
controller in production engineering.
Proxy
A computer that receives broadcast name queries and answers to names that do not go to the
local subnet. To evaluate the names, the proxy communicates with a WINS server and retains the
names in the cache for a certain time.
Reflector
The reflector is an optical marker with two diagonally arranged square white areas. Following
image acquisition, this pattern is detected and processed by the SIMATIC MV540 H CRANES
camera based on an image processing algorithm. The reflector design can be passive, active with
IR LED or retroreflective.
Ring light
A ring-shaped infrared flash fitted with LEDs.
Sensor
In electrical engineering, a sensor is a component that can qualitatively measure not only
specific physical or chemical properties (such as heat radiation, temperature, humidity,
pressure, excess pressure, sound, luminance, magnetism, acceleration, force) but also the
physical condition of its surroundings or register them as measured variables.
Server
Network station that provides services and resources to other stations. For example, a computer
that manages databases and passes the data on to the other computers as required.
SIMATIC S7
Siemens automation system with controller families SIMATIC S7-300 and SIMATIC S7-400.
SIMOTION
Siemens automation system for all machines with motion control tasks.
SIMOTION is based on the fusion of Motion Control with two other control functions that can
be found on most machines: PLC and technology functions.
