Index
An index is a complete motion sequence (defined motion profile) that moves the motor a
specific incremental distance or to an absolute position.
Inertia
The property of an object to resist changes in rotary velocity unless acted upon by an outside
force. Higher inertia objects require larger torque to accelerate and decelerate. Inertia is
dependent upon the mass and shape of the object.
Input Function
See destination. A function (i.e., Stop, Preset) that may be assigned to an input line. In
PowerTools Pro, the input function is connected to the action through click and drag operations
in PowerTools Software on the Assignment View.
Input Line
The terminals of a device or circuit to which energy is applied.
Jog
A jog produces rotation of the motor at controlled velocities in a positive or negative direction.
Least Significant Bit
The bit in a binary number that is the least important or having the least weight.
LED
Light Emitting Diode used on the front display of the drive.
List Box
In a dialog box, a list box is an area in which the user can choose among a list of items, such
as files, directories, printers or the like.
mA
Milliamp, which is 1/1000th of an Ampere.
MB
Mega-byte.
MODBUS
Communication Protocol by Modicon. The drives follows the Modbus specification outlined in
the Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Manual, PI-MBNS-300 Revision G, November 1994.
Most Significant Bit
The bit in a binary number that is the most important or that has the most weight.
ms
Millisecond, which is 1/1000th of a second.
NVM
Non-Volatile Memory. NVM stores specifically defined variables as the variables dynamically
change. It is used to store changes through a power loss.
NTC
Negative Temperature Resistor
