Conventionally, this refers to an abbreviation, sign or cryptogram. "Cord" also refers to
a type of electrical wire. A cord comprises electrical wire made by twisting multiple fine
conductors and then covering these wires with a sheath. Generally, a pair of electrical
wires comprise a single cord.
A virtual exclusive communication channel that is established between the software
and device that is performing communication.
Connection terminal block attached to the main body.
Connector case.
Control unit for industrial turning machines made by Nakanishi.
A device on the controlling side. CNC, PLC, PC, etc.
Compact switch having terminals in the same shape as a dual inline package (DIP) in
an integrated circuit.
There are two types, slide switch and rotary switch type.
A method where information is handled as a combination of the numbers 0 and 1 or
ON and OFF.
A sensor that outputs either ON or OFF.
A connector terminal on the COMBOX-NET.EIP for input of ON/OFF output from an
NPN type or PNP type sensor.
Unit, peripheral device or I/O device such as a mouse or printer.
An amount of information (data) expressed as a group of eight binary digits or bits.
An externally assigned setting value.
The minimum unit of amount of information, a binary digit that is either in an ON or
OFF (0 or 1) state.
A contact for inputting or outputting either ON or OFF states used by the scanner.
A network protocol that enables a virtual exclusive transmission line to be established
over Ethernet between two devices so that data can be stably sent and received
between these two devices.
Industrial turning machine made by Nakanishi.
Industrial turning machine made by Nakanishi, either an integrated type comprising a
spindle and motor or a spindle and motor combined together.
The number of bits that can be batch-processed as a single unit by a computer's
CPU. Typically, on a 16-bit CPU, a word is 16 bits.
A tool with a for screwing in screws with a straight groove in their head. This
screwdriver is sheathed with insulated material.
A type of communication in which data can flow in two directions (i.e. sent and
received) at the same time on the same carrier.
A type of communication in which data cannot be received while it is being sent on the
same carrier, and vice versa.
The smallest unit of data that is exchanged on an EtherNet/IP network.
Tags are defined as network variable names or physical addresses, and are assigned
to memory area in each device.
Controllers and devices are connected to an EtherNet/IP network via the EtherNet/IP
port.
EtherNet/IP recognizes each EtherNet/IP port connected to the network as a single
node.
When a device mounted with two EtherNet/IP ports is connected to the EtherNet/IP
network, EtherNet/IP recognizes this device as two nodes.
EtherNet/IP achieves communication between controllers and between controllers
and devices by exchanging data between these nodes connected to the network.
The unit of data exchange in which data synchrony is assured is called a
"connection."
When a connection is established, the tags and tag sets that comprise that
connection are exchanged synchronously between designated nodes.
Connections comprise tags. Starting a synchronous communication between
designated nodes is called "establishing a connection."
A type of network topology made using LAN cables.
With this topology, LAN cables radiate outwards from a connection device in the
center called a hub. This topology is called a "star topology" as the connections make
it look like a star.
