Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-E EtherNet/IP Adapter - Manual (Page 152)

G-2 Glossary
instructions to implement specific functions such as I/O control, logic,
timing, counting, report generation, communication, arithmetic, and data
file manipulation. A controller consists of a central processor, input/
output interface, and memory. See also Scanner.
D
Data Rate
The data rate is the speed at which data is transferred on the EtherNet/IP
network.
You can set the adapter to a data rate of 10 Mbps Full-Duplex, 10 Mbps
Half-Duplex, 100 Mbps Full-Duplex, or 100 Mbps Half-Duplex. If
another device on the network sets or auto-negotiates the data rate, you
can set the adapter to automatically detect the data rate.
DSI (Drive Serial Interface)
DSI is based on the ModBus RTU serial communication protocol and is
used by various Allen-Bradley drives and power products.
DSI Peripheral
A device that provides an interface between DSI and a network or user.
Peripheral devices are also referred to as “adapters” and “modules.” The
serial converter and PowerFlex 4-Class HIMs (22-HIM-xxx) are
examples of DSI peripherals.
DSI Product
A device that uses the DSI communications interface to communicate
with one or more peripheral devices. For example, a motor drive such as
a PowerFlex 4-Class drive is a DSI product. In this manual, a DSI
product is also referred to as “drive” or “host.”
