Glossary-3
Fault Configuration
When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the adapter and PowerFlex drive can respond with a
user-defined fault configuration. The user sets the data that is sent to the
drive in the fault configuration parameters (Parameters 13 - [Flt Cfg
Logic] through 22 - [Flt Cfg D2]). When a fault action parameter is set
to use the fault configuration and a fault occurs, the data from these
parameters is sent as the Command Logic, Reference, and/or
Datalink(s).
Faulted Node Recovery
This DeviceNet feature lets you change a configuration of a device that
is faulted on the network. For example, if you add a device to a network
and it does not have a unique address, it will fault. If you have a
configuration tool that supports faulted node recovery and your adapter
is using parameters to set its node address and data rate, you can change
the node address.
Feedback
See Reference/Feedback.
Flash Update
The process of updating firmware in the adapter. The adapter can be
flash updated using the ControlFLASH tool or the X-Modem protocol
and a 1203-SSS Smart Self-powered Serial converter (version 3.001 or
higher firmware).
G GSD File
A GSD File is a file used by the network configuration tool to identify
the type of adapter and its capabilities, so that it can configure the
adapter for the network. This is normally supplied on floppy disk as a
text file.
HIM (Human Interface Module)
A device that can be used to configure and control a PowerFlex drive.
New HIMs (20-HIM-x) can be used to configure connected peripherals.
Hold Last
When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the adapter and PowerFlex drive can respond by holding
last. Hold last results in the drive receiving the last data received via the
PROFIBUS connection before the disruption. If the drive was running
and using the Reference from the adapter, it will continue to run at the
same Reference.
