External lightning protection
External plant components at which galvanic coupling of lightning surges can occur.
Corresponds with lightning protection zone 0
Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet describes the standard for transferring data with 100 Mbps. This transfer
technology used the 100 Base-T standard for this.
Firmware update
Updating the firmware of modules, for example, after functional enhancements to the latest
firmware version (update).
Functional ground
Functional ground is a low-impedance current path between electric circuits and ground. It is
not designed as a protective measure but instead, for example, as a measure to improve
interference immunity.
Grounding
Refers to the bonding of conductive elements to ground via a grounding system.
GSD file
As a Generic Station Description, this file contains all properties of a PROFINET or PROFIBUS
device that are necessary for its configuration in XML format.
Identification data
Information which is stored in modules and supports the user in checking the plant
configuration and finding the hardware changes.
Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet is a configuration technology that enables data to be transferred
interference-free in an industrial environment.
Standard Ethernet components can be used since PROFINET is an open system. However, we
recommend setting up PROFINET as Industrial Ethernet.
Interface module
Module in the distributed IO system. The interface module connects the distributed I/O
system via a fieldbus with the CPU (IO controller) and prepares the data for or from the I/O
modules.
Internal lightning protection
Shielding of buildings, rooms or devices Corresponds with lightning protection zone 1, 2 or 3.
