A/B slaves permit the extension of the address space to 62 Slave in an AS interface leg
Adapter is a passive device in a ControlNet with respect to cyclic data traffic.
It cannot independently take up a cyclic connection to another node but acyclic connections are always possible.
Analog module for transmission of up to 24 Bit analog values utilizing a sequential data transfer
AS-i power supply for supplying the whole system with
power with concurrent decoupling
of the data
AT Drive telegram, each Slave sends its AT in the corre sponding time slot
Bit strobe Multi/Broadcast I/O data exchange
Bootup Starting sequence of the node
CIP (Control and Information Protocol) describes the means of addressing in order to create a connection to a communication Object of a ControlNet node.
Consumer Device that receives data
Consumer/ Producer describes the process for characterizing and addressing data within a ControlNet system.
COS change of state
Transfer of data when data has changed
CP0-CP4 Communication phase
Cyclic timer controlled data transfer
DP Decentral Periphery
DPM1 Master class 1 controls the cyclic data exchange
DPM2 Master class 2 diagnostic, configuration and monitor
DPV1 DP extension, acyclic services
EMCY Emergency, Emergency notification
Explicit messaging acyclic data channel
FDL Fieldbus Data Link defines the PROFIBUS communication on layer 2, identical for DP and FMS
FMS Fieldbus Message Specification
Generation 4 latest InterBus technology generation
GSD Device description file
Guarding Monitoring the node
Hub Central connection device for star-formed cabling
ID-Code classification code of a device
IDN Identification number
Length code coded I/O length information of a device
Local bus local branch from main cable
Loop InterBus transfer technique for the area of simple sensors/actuators
Master active device, controls the bus access
MDT Master Datentelegramm, Data to the Slaves, Broadcast
Media-Redundancy of the network is an option of the system in order to reduce shut downs of the whole network.
Monomaster one Master in the network
MST Master synchronisation telegram, allows the synchronisation of all connected Slaves via a AT
Multimaster multiple Master in the network
NMT Network management
PA Process Automation
Parameter data for acyclic control of AS-Interface Slaves, e.g. shutting the sending diode of a light barrier on or off
PCP Peripherals Communication Protocol acyclic data channel

PDO mapping Configuration of process data per PDO
Polling acyclic I/O data exchange
Predefined Master/Slave predefined connection set up between Master and Slave
Producer Device that sends data
Remote bus RS422 or fibre-optics conductor main cable
SAP Service Access Point
Scanner is required for establishing cyclic data traffic between ControlNet-participants.
It is therefore responsible for the organization of the NUI (Network Update Interval).
Scheduled Data Exchange is planned cyclic data exchange for transmission of input/output data.
SDO Service Data Object, acyclic data channel
SERCOS Serial Realtime Communication System
Slave passive device, answers to the master
Switch Central intelligent connection device for star-formed cabling and solution of access conflicts
SYNC Sychronisation cycle of the master
TCP/IP Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol connection-orientated, secure transfer protocol as basis for the Internet-protocols
UCMM Unconnected Message Manager
UDP User Datagram Protocol connectionless, unsecured data transfer protocol for Broadcast and Multicast communication
Unscheduled Data Exchange is unplanned acyclic data exchange for transmission of configuration or parameter data.
