Glossary 4
DIN
Abbreviation for "Deutsches Institut für Normungen e. V.".
Dual Code
Natural binary code. Frequently used code for absolute measurement
systems.
EDS
This EDS file primarily defines the Polled I/O Connection, the COS
I/O Connection and the Cyclic I/O Connection of the gateway. It does
not contain data or parameters (Pico object) for functions of the basic
unit. These functions are accessed by means of explicit messages.
EEPROM
Abbreviation for “Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-only
Memory“.
EMC
Abbreviation for "Electromagnetic Compatibility". Defines the ability of
electrical equipment to operate error-free and without causing a
negative influence within a certain environment.
EN
Abbreviation for “European Norm”.
Earth
Defines in electrical engineering the conductive earth whose electrical
potential is equal to zero at any point. The electrical potential in the
area of earthing devices might not be equal to zero. In this case, one
refers to "Reference ground".
Earthing
Represents the connection of an electrically conductive component to
the equipotential earth via a grounding device.
Earth electrode
One or several components with direct and good contact to earth.
ESD
Abbreviation for “Electrostatic Discharge”.
