Slave Controller – Technology I-XVII
Optional services can be fulfilled by a PROFINET station in addition to the
mandatory services.
Organizationally Unique Identifier –the first 3 Bytes of an Ethernet-Address that
will be assign to companies or organizations and can be used for protocol
identifiers as well (e.g. LLDP)
Process Data Interface or Physical Device Interface: an interface that allows
access to ESC from the process side.
Protocol Data Unit: Contains protocol information (Src Addr, Dest Addr,
Checksum and service parameter information) transferred from a protocol
instance of transparent data to a subordinate level (the lower level contains the
information being transferred).
Physical layer device that converts data from the Ethernet controller to electric
or optical signals.
Frame that verifies whether the partner device is still available.
Pre-Operational state of EtherCAT state machine
Priority field inserted in an Ethernet frame.
Rules for sequences – here, also the sequences (defined in state machines)
and frame structures (described in encoding) of communication processes.
Device that sends data to other consumers in the form of a broadcast message.
Precision Time Protocol in accordance with IEEE 1588: Precise time
synchronization procedures.
Indicates time in a segment.
Station synchronized by a PTP master.
Cable type in which the two cable pairs are twisted together. This strengthens
the electromagnetic resistance.
Random Access Memory. ESC have User RAM and Process Data RAM.
Service enabling read access to an I/O device.
