Glossary
sink load | An output that, when turned on, receives DC current from its load. |
size 1 base | A mounting device, designed to seat an STB module, hang it on a DIN rail, and |
| connect it to the island bus. It is 13.9 mm wide and 128.25 mm high. |
size 2 base | A mounting device, designed to seat an STB module, hang it on a DIN rail, and |
| connect it to the island bus. It is 18.4 mm wide and 128.25 mm high. |
size 3 base | A mounting device, designed to seat an STB module, hang it on a DIN rail, and |
| connect it to the island bus. It is 28.1 mm wide and 128.25 mm high. |
slice I/O | An I/O module design that combines a small number of channels (usually between |
| two and six) in a small package. The idea is to allow a system developer to purchase |
| just the right amount of I/O and to be able to distribute it around the machine in an |
| efficient, mechatronics way. |
SM_MPS | state management_message periodic services. The applications and network |
| management services used for process control, data exchange, error reporting, and |
| device status notification on a Fipio network. |
SNMP | simple network management protocol. The UDP/IP standard protocol used to |
| manage nodes on an IP network. |
snubber | A circuit generally used to suppress inductive |
| series with a capacitor (in the case of an RC snubber) and/or a |
| placed across the AC load. |
source load | A load with a current directed into its input; must be driven by a current source. |
standard I/O | Any of a subset of Advantys STB input/output modules designed at a moderate cost |
| to operate with |
| reconfigured with the Advantys configuration software and, in most cases, may be |
| used in reflex actions. |
standard | An Advantys STB network interface module designed at moderate cost to support |
network | the configuration capabilities, |
interface | suitable for most standard applications on the island bus. An island run by a |
| standard NIM can support up to 32 addressable Advantys STB and/or preferred I/O |
| modules, up to six of which may be standard CANopen devices. |
standard power | An Advantys STB module that distributes sensor power to the input modules and |
distribution | actuator power to the output modules over two separate power buses on the island. |
module | The bus provides a maximum of 4 A to the input modules and 8 A to the output |
| modules. A standard PDM requires a 5 A fuse to protect the input modules and an |
| 8 A fuse to protect the outputs. |
