  • Page 184: A.1 What Does Esd Mean?

    What does ESD mean? Definition All electronic components are equipped with high–integrated modules or components. Conditioned by their technology, these electronic components are extremely sensitive to overvoltages and therefore to discharges of static electricity. The short term ESD has been adopted for these Electrostatic Sensitive Devices/ assemblies.

  • Page 185: A.2 Electrostatic Charging

    Electrostatic charging Charging Anyone who is not conductively connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings can be electrostatically charged. The maximum electrostatic voltage values which an operator can be charged with when contacting the materials stated in the illustration are shown in Fig. A–1. These values correspond to the specifications of IEC 801–2.

  • Page 186: A.3 Basic Protective Measures Against Discharge Of Static Electricity

    Basic protective measures against discharge of static electricity Ensuring a good ground connection When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, ensure that your person, the workplace and packaging are grounded. In this manner you avoid static charge. Avoid direct contact As a general principle, only touch electrostatic sensitive devices when this is unavoidable (e.g.

  • Page 192 Alternating Current. Current that changes its direction at regular intervals. Access Protection Access to the programs and data of a programming device can be protected by passwords. The user password or Superuser password can be assigned in the BIOS Setup. ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface enables the operating system to supervise the power supply of each device connected to the computer.
  • Page 193 Backup Duplicate of a program, storage medium or database. Created to backup or to protect irreplaceable data of working copies as a precaution against corruption or destruction. Some applications automatically create backup copies, while managing both the current version as well as the previous version that is stored on the hard disk drive.
  • Page 194 Cache The cache memory buffers often used data to increase the speed of access. The computer has two cache levels. Cardbus interface This interface is compatible with 32-bit Cardbus Cards with PCI performance compliant with the PC Card standard. CD ROM Compact Disc Read Only Memory.
  • Page 195 Controller Integrated hardware and software controllers that control the functions of certain internal or peripheral devices (for example, the keyboard controller). Cursor Collective term for mouse pointer and text cursor. Cursor Control Keypad on the keyboard for controlling the cursor. Direct Current.

  • Page 197 EIDE Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics. An extension of the IDE standard, EIDE is a hardware interface standard for disk drive designs that house control circuits in the drives themselves. It allows for standardized interfaces to the system bus while providing for advanced features, such as burst data transfer and direct data access.
  • Page 198 Function Keys Function keys can be divided into two different types; the normal function keys which are assigned a particular function of the computer (for example, delete key), and programmable function keys (softkeys). Gender Changer The Gender Changer is used to convert the COM1/V24/PLC interface of the SIMATIC PC family to a common socket.
