Term Meaning
»Engineer« Software provided by Lenze that supports the entire life cycle of a machine -
from planning stage to maintenance.
Code "Container" for one or more parameters which are used to parameterise or
monitor the controller.
Subcode If a code contains several parameters, these are stored in so-called subcodes.
In this documentation, the diagonal slash "/" is used as a separator between
code and subcode (e.g. "C00118/3").
Function block editor Graphical interconnection tool which is provided on the FB Editor tab for
controllers of the licence level Motion Control HighLevel and TopLevel in the
»Engineer« and which can be used to change the configuration of the
accompanying technology applications or extend them by individual functions.
Function block A function block (FB) can be compared with an integrated circuit that contains a
certain control logic and provides one or several values when being executed.
• An instance (reproduction, copy) of the function block is always inserted into
the circuit.
• It is also possible to insert several instances of a function block into a circuit.
• Each instance has a unique identifier (instance name) and a processing
number which defines the position where the function block is calculated
during the task cycle.
System block System blocks provide interfaces to basic functions and to the hardware of the
controller in the function block editor of the »Engineer« (e.g. to the digital
inputs).
• In contrast to function blocks, system blocks cannot be instanced.
DIS code Parameter which displays the current status or value of an input / output of a
system block.
TA Abbreviation of "technology application".
Technology applications are applications prepared by Lenze which serve as a
basis for solving typical applications.
Every technology application comes with its own online documentation.
