Rockwell Automation RECOMM-DNET DeviceNet Adapter for use with DPI AC Drives - Manual (Page 159)

Glossary Glossary-3
General information about DeviceNet and the DeviceNet
specification are maintained by the Open DeviceNet Vendor’s
Association (ODVA). ODVA is online at http://www.odva.org.
DPI - A peripheral communication interface used by various
Reliance Electric drives and power products.
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 serial converter and SP600 OIM 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 a SP600 drive is a DPI product. In this
manual, a DPI product is also referred to as “product” or “host.”
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files - Simple text files that are used
by network configuration tools such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet to
describe products so that you can easily commission them on a
network. EDS files describe a product device type, revision, and
configurable parameters.
Explicit Messaging - Explicit Messages are used to configure,
monitor, and diagnose devices over DeviceNet.
fault action - Determines how the adapter and connected product
act when a communications fault (for example, a cable is
disconnected) occurs or when the scanner is switched out of run
mode. The former uses a communications fault action, and the latter
uses an idle fault action.
fault configuration - When communications are disrupted (for
example, a cable is disconnected), the adapter and SP600 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 15 (Flt Cfg Logic) through 24 (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 - A DeviceNet feature that 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.
flash update - The process of updating firmware in the adapter.
The adapter can be flash updated using the X-Modem protocol and
a RECOMM-232 serial converter.
