Glossary-2 USB Converter User Manual
DPI (Drive Peripheral Interface)
A second generation peripheral communication interface used by various Reliance
Electric drives.
DPI (Architecture-Class) Drives
The Reliance Electric DPI (Architecture-Class) family of drives include the SP600,
GV6000, and LiquiFlo 2.0. These drives can be used for applications ranging from
0.37 kW (0.5 HP) to 3000 kW (4000 HP).
DPI Peripheral
A device that provides an interface between DPI and a network or user. Peripheral
devices are also referred to as “adapters” and “modules.” The 1203-USB converter,
20-COMM-x network communication adapters, and OIMs (20-OIM-xxx) are examples
of DPI peripherals.
DPI Product
A device that uses the DPI communications interface to communicate with one or
more peripheral devices. For example, a motor drive such as an GV6000 is a DPI
product. In this manual, a DPI product is also referred to as “drive” or “host.”
F Flash Update
The process of updating firmware in a device. DPI and MDI drives and their
peripherals can be flash updated using the Reliance Electric software tool
ControlFLASH or the built-in flash capability of V*S Utilities (version 4.06 or higher).
Hold Last
When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
converter and drive can respond by holding last state. Hold last state results in the
drive receiving the last data received via the DF1 connection before the disruption. If
the drive was running and using the Reference from the converter, it will continue to
run at the same Reference.
M MDI (Drive Serial Interface)
MDI is based on the Modbus RTU serial communication protocol and is used by MDI
drives.
MDI (Component-Class) Drives
The Reliance Electric (Component-Class) family of drives include the MD60 and
MD65. These drives can be used for applications ranging from 0.2 kW (0.25 HP) to
7.5 kW (10 HP).
MDI Peripheral
A device that provides an interface between MDI and a network or user. Peripheral
devices are also referred to as “adapters” and “modules.” The 1203-USB converter,
22-COMM-x network communication adapters, and OIMs (22-OIM-xxx) are examples
of MDI peripherals.
MDI Product
A device that uses the MDI communications interface to communicate with one or
more peripheral devices. For example, a motor drive such as a MD65 drive is a MDI
product. In this manual, a MDI product is also referred to as “drive” or “host.”
