I-XVIII Slave Controller – Technology
FCC Registered Jack, standard Ethernet connector (8P8C)
Reduced Media Independent Interface
Network component acting as a gateway based on the interpretation of the IP
address.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol: Prevents packet from looping infinitely between
switches; RSTP is specified in IEEE 802.1 D (Edition 2004)
Real-time. Name for a real-time protocol that can be run in Ethernet controllers
without special support.
Real-time Clock chip of PCs
EtherCAT Messages with EtherType 0x88A4.
Receive PDO, i.e. Process Data that will be received by ESC20
RUN indicator (LED) for application state
Safe-Operational state of EtherCAT state machine
Safety function, implemented by an electric, electronic programmable fail-safe
system that maintains the equipment in a safe state, even during certain critical
external events.
Determines what should be transferred and when.
Interaction between two components to fulfill a specific task.
Access method used by a client to write data to a server.
Slave Information Interface
Simple Network Management Protocol: SNMP is the standard Internet protocol
for management and diagnostics of network components (see also RFC 1157
and RFC 1156 at www.ietf.org ).
Servo Profile over EtherCAT
Ethernet SOF delimiter at the end of the preamble of Ethernet frames
Serial Peripheral Interface
Source Address: Source address of a message.
Currently the common operating mode in switches. Frames are first received in
their entirety, the addresses are evaluated, and then they are forwarded. This
result in considerable delays, but guarantees that defective frames are not
forwarded, causing an unnecessary increase in the bus load.
Shielded Twisted Pair: Shielded cable with at least 2 core pairs to be used as
the standard EtherCAT cable.
