APPENDIX D - GLOSSARY
Term Definition
Certificate A document that provides information on the accuracy of a scale when last serviced. The certificate will
provide details such as the scale's serial number, the model of the scale, and the date and location
where it was tested.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol that automatically assigns a unique IP address to each
device that connects to a network, eliminating the to manually assign IP addresses to new devices.
DNS Converts internet names to IP addresses so you don’t have to know the IP address of a server you’re
trying to reach.
EtherNet/IP An industrial network protocol that adapts the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to standard Ethernet.
Extranet A private network that can be partially accessed by authorized outside users, enabling businesses to
exchange information over the internet securely.
Gateway Connects local devices such as your application controller to other networks.
Human-Machine Interface
(HMI)
A user interface or touchscreen that allows operators to interact with the HI6800 Series Application
Controllers.
IIoT Industrial Internet of Things. An extension and use of the Internet of Things (IoT) designed for industrial
sectors and applications.
Modbus TCP/IP Modbus RTU protocol with a TCP interface that runs on Ethernet.
OPC UA An extensible, platform-independent standard that enables the secure exchange of information in
industrial systems.
PROFINET An Ethernet-based automation standard for the implementation of an integrated and consistent
automation solution based on Industrial Ethernet.
Programmable logic
controller (PLC)
A programmable device for I/O and calculations.
Subnet mask Splits an IP address into host and network addresses, defining which part of the IP address belongs to
the application network and which part belongs to the network.
Tare weight The tare weight is the weight of an empty container. By subtracting it from the gross weight, the weight of
the goods carried (the net weight) can be determined.
WAVERSAVER
®
Mechanical noise from other machinery in a plant environment can be present in forces larger than the
weight forces being measured. To address this noise, WAVERSAVER
®
eliminates the effects of vibratory
forces present in all industrial weight control and measurement applications. By factoring out almost all of
the ambient vibratory forces, the HI6800 Series Application Controller separates the actual weight data.
