Glossary

Configuration
Configuration is the systematic arrangement, setting, and networking of the individual
3RW5 soft starters within the device or network view.
Configuring
This section refers to the configuration and parameterization of 3RW5 soft starters.
Device name
Before an IO device can be addressed by an IO controller, the IO device must have a device name
because the IP address is permanently assigned to the device name.
In the case of PROFINET, this method was chosen because names are easier to handle than
complex IP addresses. Assignment of a device name for a specific IO device can be compared to
setting the PROFIBUS address on a DP slave. An IO device does not have a device name when it
is delivered. It can only be addressed by an IO controller once a device name has been assigned
to it, e.g. for transmission of the configuration data during startup or for exchanging useful data
in cyclic operation.
Diagnostics
Data that is transferred from the 3RW5 soft starter and indicates the current operating state.
DR (Dynamic Reconfiguration)
Changes during operation (Dynamic Reconfiguration) refer to the property, based on redundant
communication connections, of being able to make changes to the system without having to
restart devices or controllers and without affecting communication in the network.
Fieldbus
Industrial communication system that connects a large number of field devices such as probes
(sensors), final controlling elements, and drives (actuators) to a control device.
GSDML
The GSDML language is defined by the GSDML scheme. A GSDML scheme contains validity rules
that allow you to check the syntax of a GSD file, for example. Manufacturers of IO devices can
obtain GSDML schemes (in the form of scheme files) from PROFIBUS International.
