Communication Module
Communication Module is a name for a device (e.g. a fieldbus
adapter) through which the drive is connected to an external
communication network (e.g. a fieldbus). The communication with
the module is activated with a drive parameter.
MAC ID
Every node on Ethernet network has to have a unique identifier.
This node number is called MAC ID (Media Access Control ID).
Data Sets and Data Words
Each data set consists of three 16-bit words, i.e. data words. The
Control (or Command) Word and the Status Word, References
and Actual Values (see chapter Communication) are types of data
words; the contents of some data words are user-definable.
Input and Output
The terms "input" and "output" are defined from the network
master's point of view. For example, drive's status words are
considered as the input data and control words as the output data.
