The transfer of a complete set of parameters from PowerTools or an FM-P.
EEPROM
An EEPROM chip is an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only
Memory; that is, its contents can be both recorded and erased by electrical
signals, but they do not go blank when power is removed.
EMC
Electromagnetic Compatibility
EMI - Electro-Magnetic Interference
EMI is noise which, when coupled into sensitive electronic circuits, may cause
problems.
Firmware
The term firmware refers to software (i.e., computer programs) that are stored in
some fixed form, such as read-only memory (ROM).
FM
Function Module - device which is attached to the front of the drive to provide
additional functionality.
Hysteresis
For a system with an analog input, the output tends to maintain it's current
value until the input level changes past the point that set the current output
value. The difference in response of a system to an increasing input signal versus
a decreasing input signal.
I/O
Input/Output. The reception and transmission of information between control
devices. In modern control systems, I/O has two distinct forms: switches, relays,
etc., which are in either an on or off state, or analog signals that are continuous
in nature generally depicting values for speed, temperature, flow, etc.
Inertia
The property of an object to resist changes in rotary velocity unless acted upon
by an outside force. Higher inertia objects require larger torque to accelerate and
decelerate. Inertia is dependent upon the mass and shape of the object.
