XDi Flexible Display
indicator Illuminated indicator based on display technology and with a library
architecture offering very flexible indicator design, interfaces and
CANopen network handling.
CANopen CANopen Standard but relative open protocol for communicating via the CAN
bus network layer. Contact CiA (CAN in Automation) for more
detailed information.
XDi-net XDi-net DEIF-specific way to use CANopen and the manufacture-specific
section of the object index.
PP Product profile Collection of default product specific parameter values like dimmer,
CAN-bus settings, sound and visual warnings and alike.
VI Virtual indicator Predefined indicator stored in the XDi library.
VS VI-setup Collection of default indicator parameter values like input setup
parameters for the selected virtual indicator.
Extension Module Extension module Physical module to be mounted in one of the extension slots on the
rear side of the XDi unit. The XDi 96 only has one extension slot,
where XDi 144 and XDi 192 both have 2 extension slots.
AX 1 Analogue input
extension module Analogue interface module that can be snapped on the back of the
XDi indicator to add: 2 analogue inputs, 1 dimmer/universal voltage
input and a reference voltage output.
DX 1 Digital I/O extension
module Digital interface module that can be snapped on the back of the XDi
indicator to add: 2 digital input (often used for RPM pickups) and 2
relay outputs.
NX 1
NMEA output extension
module NMEA interface module that can be snapped on the back of the XDi
indicator to add: 1 RS422 NMEA output IEC 61162-1.
L-pan Left menu pane The left part of the standard XDi menu screen, often containing
added information to the highlighted menu.
R-pan Right menu pane Right part of the standard XDi menu screen, often containing the
actual menu structure.
Slot Extension slot The extension slot is used when mounting an extension module on
the XDi, see Extension module.
NMEA NMEA
NMEA is a serial communication standard using RS422 and in this
