GLOSSARY
application code - Code that runs in the adapter after the boot
code calls it. It performs the normal operations of the system.
block check character (BCC) - An error detection scheme where
the 2s complement of the 8-bit sum (modulo-256 arithm eti c su m) o f
all data bytes in a transmission block. It provides a means of
checking the accuracy of each message transmission.
boot code - Code that runs when the adapter fi rst recei ves pow er . It
checks basic operations and then calls the application code.
bus off - A bus off condi tion occurs when an ab normal rate of errors
is detected on the Contro l Area Ne tw ork (CAN) b us in a de vi ce . The
bus-off device cannot receive or transmit messages. This condition
is often caused by corruption of the network data signals due to
noise or data rate mismatch.
cyclic redundancy check (CRC) - An error detection scheme
where all of the characters in a message are treated as a string of
bits repres enting a binary number. This number is divided by a
predetermined binary number (a polynomial) and the remainder is
appended to the message as a CRC character. A similar operation
occurs at the receiving end to prove transmission integrity.
DF1 protocol - A peer-to-peer link layer protocol that combines
features of ANSI X3.28-1976 specification subcategories D1 (data
transparency) and F1 (two-way simultaneous transmission with
embedded responses ).
Glossary
DF1 rate - A unit of sig nal ing s pe ed eq ual to the number of di sc rete
conditions or signal events per second. It is also called “baud rate”
or “serial port rate.”
DPI - A peripheral communication interface used by various
Reliance Electric drives and power products.
DPI peripheral - A device that provides an interface between DPI
and a network or user. Peripheral devices are also referred to as
“adapters” and “module s.” The s erial conv erter and SP600 O IM are
examples of DPI peripherals.
DPI product - A de vic e that u ses the DP I comm unic ations i nter f ace
to communicate with one or more peripheral devices. For example,
a motor drive such as an SP600 AC drive is a DPI product. In this
manual, a DPI product is also referred to as “product” or “host.”
See
EEPROM -
non-volatile storage .
Glossary-1
flash update - The process of updating firmware in a device.
hold last - When communicatio ns are disrupted (for example, a
serial cable is disconnected), the converter and product can
respond by holding last state. Hold last state results in the product
receiving the last data received via the DF1 connection before the
disruption. If the pro duc t was in R UN m ode an d u si ng the reference
from the converter, it will continue to run at the same reference.
non-volatile storage (NVS) - NVS is the permanent memory of a
device. Devices such as the converter store parameters and other
information in NVS so that they are not lost when the device loses
power. NVS is sometimes called “EEPROM.”
operator interface module (OIM) - A device that can be used to
configure and control an SP600 AC drive. An OIM can be used to
configure connected peripherals such as the serial converter.
programmable co ntroller communicati ons c omm and (PCCC) -
The protocol used b y some c ontrollers to commun icate wi th de vices
on a network. Some software products (for example, VS Utilities)
also use PCCC to communicate.
ping - A message that is sent by a DPI product to its peripheral
devices. They use the ping to gather data about the product,
including whether it can receive messages and whether they can
log in for control.
serial converter - A device that provides an electronic
communications interface between a DPI-based drive and a
computer with an RS-232 port. This converter uses a full-duplex
RS-232 DF1 protocol. The serial converter may also be referred to
as “converter” or “DPI peripheral.”
status indicators - LEDs that are used to report the status of a
device. There are three status indicators on the converter.
Type 0/Type 1/Type 2 Control - When tran smitting I/O , the adapter
can use diff eren t types of me ssag es f o r contro l. The Type 0, Type 1,
and Type 2 events help Relian ce Ele ctric pers onnel iden tify th e typ e
of messages that an adapter is using.
Xmodem - Developed by Ward Christensen in 1978, Xmodem is a
protocol used to tran sf er da ta. You can use the Xmodem prot ocol to
flash the firmware in the serial co nverter or a device conn ec ted to it.
zero data - When communications are disrupted (e.g., serial cable
is disconnected), the converter and product can respond with zero
data. Zer o data results in the product receiving zero as values for
command data. If the product was in RUN mode and using the
reference from the converter, it will stay in run mode but at zero
reference.
