Glossary
PROFIBUS Network
A PROFIBUS network uses RS485 to connect devices such as controllers, drives,
motor starters and other equipment in automation systems. A Profibus network
can support a maximum of 126 devices. Each device is assigned a unique node
address and transmits data on the network at the same data rate. A cable is used to
connect devices on the network. It contains the bus signal. Devices can be
connected to the network in a daisy-chain connection.
ProSoft Configuration Builder
(PCB) Software
A software tool used to configure the MVI69-PDPMV1 PROFIBUS DPV1
master communication module. The newest version of ProSoft Configuration
Builder software is available from
Reference/Feedback
The Reference is used to send a setpoint (for example, speed, frequency, torque)
to the drive. It consists of one 16-bit word of output to the adapter from the
network.
Feedback is used to monitor the speed of the drive. It consists of one 16-bit word
of input from the adapter to the network.
RSLogix 5000 Software
RSLogix 5000 software is a tool for configuring and monitoring controllers to
communicate with connected devices. It is a 32-bit application that runs on
various Windows operating systems. Information about RSLogix software can be
found at
. See also Studio 5000
environment.
Status Indicators
Status indicators are LEDs that are used to report the status of the adapter,
network, and drive. They are on the adapter and can be viewed on the front cover
of the drive when the drive is powered.
Stop Action
When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
adapter and drive can respond with a stop action. A stop action results in the
drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command, Reference, and Datalink data.
If the drive was running and using the Reference from the adapter, it will stay
running but at zero Reference.
Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000 Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio
5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000 software and will continue to be
the product to program Logix 5000 controllers for discrete, process, batch,
motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for
design engineers to develop all the elements of their control system.
