Glossary
A
Absolute encoder Position or shaft encoder, which supplies the axis position as an absolute actual value immediately after it is switched on. Absolute information about the mometary angular or linear position of the axis is thus available continuously. The absolute encoder outputs the positional information using a parallel or serial transmission method, e.g. as dual or gray code. The sensing range is one revolution on single-turn encoders and several revolutions (typically 4096 revolutions) on multiturn encoders. If an absolute encoder is used as a position encoder, the axis need not be homed after power ON and the homing switch (e.g. BERO) normally required for this purpose can be omitted. Application: An absolute encoder is used when homing is not possible or desirable. Access error An error occurs when accessing a variable or I/O from the user program. Activate depending on conditions Activating a process with the mode depending on conditions, e.g. switchover on an axis from position control to force control depending on conditions. Actual value Actual measured value of a measured quantity of a defined moment in time.

Glossary
Dynamic servo control With the Dynamic Servo Control function, the dynamically active component of the position controller in the drive is executed at the frequency of the speed loop. It is thus possible to set a substantially greater position controller gain factor Kv in relation to the sampling times. This increases the dynamic response for the tracking of the command variables and disturbance value response with highly dynamic drives.

Effective value Instantaneous actual value. Actual value, Interpolated setpoint Elementary data types Elementary data types define the structure of data that cannot be broken down into smaller units. An elementary data type describes a memory range with a fixed length and stands for bit data,integers, floating-point numbers, duration, time and date. User-defined data types, Data typ Enabling signal Enabling signal, e.g. for an axis. Equidistance mode Equidistance means "isochronous mode of the data transmission" and is a new property of the PROFIBUS DP for MC. The isochronous communication provides an equidistant cycle within the PROFIDRIVE profile not only for data exchange, but also for the applications running in the nodes, such as speed and position controllers, etc. The isochronous communication is implemented through the use of an equidistant clock signal on the bus system. This cyclical, equidistant clock pulse is sent from the master to all stations as a global control signal. Master and slave can therefore synchronize their applications with this signal. Special fault procedures in each node ensure that communication remains stable, even if the system clock fails sporadically ("Bus clock PLL" for bridging clock failures). In drive technology, isochronous communication forms the basis of drive synchronization. The bus system not only carries message frame traffic in an equidistant time frame, but the internal control algorithms such as the speed and current controller in the drive or controller are also time-synchronized in the higher-level automation system. Standard slaves that are not affected by the global control signal can also be operated in a network with isochronous nodes.

Preceding synchronization With preceding synchronization for the synchronous operation, the synchronizing motion is executed before the specified synchronization point. Precontrol Specification of the manipulated variables "speed" and, if applicable, also "torque" directly from the motion control / interpolation. When the dynamic response of the axis controlled system is known, precontrol can be applied to achieve a better dynamic response and the subordinate controllers set essentially for disturbance value response. Preprocessor The preprocessor prepares a source program for compilation. For example, character strings can be defined as replacement texts for identifiers, or sections of the source program can be hidden / unhidden for compilation.

The extensions comprise the Equidistance mode and Data exchange broadcast functions. The equidistance enables an "isochronous mode of the data transmission". The data exchange broadcast enables a direct data exchange between slave devices without participation of the master. The new functions are specified in the PROFIBUS profile "Drive Technology", Version 3 of the German PROFIBUS user organization (PNO) and are currently being integrated in the PROFIBUS Standard EN 50170, Part 2. To use the new functions, you need a suitable isochronous master interface. The equidistant PROFIBUS DP is fully upward compatible: In a mixed configuration, equidistant slaves and nonequidistant slaves (e.g. intelligent terminal strip ET200) can be operated together on an equidistant PROFIBUS DP bus line without problems."

R
RAM disk File system in the RAM memory of the control. After the download, the HW and device configurations, technology packages, configuration data of the technology objects and program units are on the RAM disk. With Copy RAM to ROM, the contents of the RAM disk are copied to the MMC card and the memory on the RAM disk is released. During subsequent downloads, only the changed data is downloaded to the RAM disk. Also on the RAM disk or MMC card, are the user data which were created with the file system functions from the user program. Copy RAM to ROM only affects the project data from the download. Response threshold (temperature channel) Heating and cooling equipment is controlled by means of digital switching elements; very short switching pulses (ON and OFF pulses) place a burden on elements of this type. For this reason, it is possible to specify a so-called response threshold which defines the minimum permissible magnitude of a manipulated variable before it can be output on the switching element.The manipulated variable calculated by the controller is converted to an appropriate ON period for each controller sampling interval by means of pulse width modulation: the response threshold prevents the generation of very small ON or OFF pulses.

Safety Integrated Effective protection of persons and machines in accordance with EC Directive 89/392/EEC in safety category 3 according to EN-954-1 (categories B. 1 to 4 are defined in this standard) for safe setting up and testing. Individual fault safety is ensured. The safety function is still maintained if an individual fault occurs. Protection is implemented by means of the following functions: Safe stopping process: brakes the drive safely down to standstill if a monitor is triggered. Safe operational stop: monitors the drive at zero speed within a settable tolerance window, the drive remains fully functional under position control. Safe standstill: suppression of drive pulses and thus safe, electronic disconnection of the power supply (Safe Off terminal). Safely reduced speed: monitoring of configurable speed limits, e.g. during setting up. Safe software cams: variable programmable traversing range limits; no hardware limit switches required. Safe braking ramp: safe reduction in speed according to a specified, monitored braking ramp when the Stop command is given. Safe emergency stop: direct connection of emergency stop chains/pushbuttons and their safe logical evaluation (category 4). Scaling Multiplication of the input or output variables by a factor for synchronous operation and for the cam.
