Glossary
A connector on a PC or computer that serves as a connection to an external
device.
The current value registered in a device at any instant during its operation.
Present value is abbreviated as PV.
A board onto which electrical circuits are printed for mounting into a comput-
er or electrical device.
A Unit used to interface a printer so that ladder diagrams and other data can
be printed out.
The list of instructions that tells the PC the sequence of control actions to be
carried out.
A computerized device that can accept inputs from external devices and gen-
erate outputs to external devices according to a program held in memory.
Programmable Controllers are used to automate control of external devices.
Although single-component Programmable Controllers are available, build-
ing-block Programmable Controllers are constructed from separate compo-
nents. Such building-block Programmable Controllers are formed only when
enough of these separate components are assembled to form a functional
assembly, i.e., no one individual Unit is called a PC.
An alarm given as a result of execution of an instruction designed to gener-
ate the alarm in the program, as opposed to one generated by the system.
An error arising as a result of the execution of an instruction designed to gen-
erate the error in the program, as opposed to one generated by the system.
A message generated as a result of execution of an instruction designed to
generate the message in the program, as opposed to one generated by the
system.
The simplest form or programming device available for a PC. Programming
Consoles are available both as hand-held models and as CPU-mounting
models.
A peripheral device used to input a program into a PC or to alter or monitor a
program already held in the PC. There are dedicated programming devices,
such as Programming Consoles, and there are non-dedicated devices, such
as a host computer.
A mode of operation that allows inputting and debugging of programs to be
carried out, but that does not permit normal execution of the program.
A peripheral device used to write programs and other data into a ROM for
permanent storage and application.
A message or symbol that appears on a display to request input from the op-
erator.
Acronym for present value.
An assembly of various Units on a Backplane that forms a functional unit in a
building-block PC System. Racks include CPU Racks, Expansion I/O Racks,
I/O Racks, and Slave Racks.
