A number assigned to identify the unit connected onto the PROFIBUS DP network.
It must not be duplicated.
The signal from the analogue input device is converted to digital, and displayed in
decimal and hexadecimal. These hexadecimal and decimal values are also outputted
to the analogue output device.
The speed at which the fieldbus sends and receives data. It depends on higher-level
equipment (PLC, etc.) and is measured in bps (bits per second).
The current necessary to operate each unit.
Consists of the standard diagnosis information defined by PROFIBUS DP and the
diagnosis information unique to the product.
A metal rail conforming with DIN (German) standard.
The side connected to the end plate when the product is connected to a manifold.
Abbreviation of international (ingress) protection. A standard related to the protection
from external objects (hands, steel ball, steel wire, dust, water, etc.) applied to the
product.
Sends the communication frame including the output data with a 0 data length when
the PLC (master) has come to clear mode. This sets the product to a defined status
(HOLD/CLEAR/Forced on).
Abbreviation of functional earth.
The protocol that uses digital communication to exchange signals between field
equipment (instruments and actuators) running on site and a PLC.
A function to synchronize the input data of the SI unit with the FREEZE command from
the PLC (master).
The file to which the master data of the product is written.
Connected to the dedicated connector of the SI unit to adjust the internal parameters,
monitor the status of all input and output signals, and turn on input and output forcedly.
A status in which the SI unit has received the FAIL SAFE command. The output can be
cleared, held or forcedly switched on by setting parameters.
A 16 bit number assigned by the PNO to identify the product.
A form consisting of multiple components. A form made by combining multiple
components
Takes the sensor output that uses the NPN transistor to the signal output line.
The output type that uses an NPN transistor to operate output device. It is also known
as a positive common type since a positive potential is applied to the power supply line.
The number of points that can receive information from input device (sensor, switch,
etc.).
The number of points that can operate output device (solenoid valve, light, motor, etc.).
A diagnosis function to detect if the input or output device wiring is disconnected.
