Glossary

D

DeviceNet

DeviceNet is a low-level, connection-based network that is based on CAN, a serial

protocol

bus system without a defined application layer. DeviceNet, therefore, defines a layer

 

for the industrial application of CAN.

DHCP

dynamic host configuration protocol. A TCP/IP protocol that allows a server to

 

assign an IP address based on a role name (host name) to a network node.

differential input A type of input design where two wires (+ and -) are run from each signal source to the data acquisition interface. The voltage between the input and the interface ground are measured by two high-impedance amplifiers, and the outputs from the two amplifiers are subtracted by a third amplifier to yield the difference between the

+and - inputs. Voltage common to both wires is thereby removed. Differential design solves the problem of ground differences found in single-ended connections, and it also reduces the cross-channel noise problem.

digital I/O

An input or output that has an individual circuit connection at the module

 

corresponding directly to a data table bit or word that stores the value of the signal

 

at that I/O circuit. It allows the control logic to have discrete access to the I/O values.

DIN

Deutsche industrial norms. A German agency that sets engineering and

 

dimensional standards and now has worldwide recognition.

 

 

E

economy

A special type of STB I/O segment created when an STB NCO 1113 economy

segment

CANopen NIM is used in the first location. In this implementation, the NIM acts as a

 

simple gateway between the I/O modules in the segment and a CANopen master.

 

Each I/O module in an economy segment acts as a independent node on the

 

CANopen network. An economy segment cannot be extended to other STB I/O

 

segments, preferred modules or standard CANopen devices.

EDS

electronic data sheet. The EDS is a standardized ASCII file that contains information

 

about a network device’s communications functionality and the contents of its object

 

dictionary. The EDS also defines device-specific and manufacturer-specific objects.

EIA

Electronic Industries Association. An organization that establishes electrical/

 

electronic and data communication standards.
