»Engineer«
Lenze PC software which supports you during the "Engineering" process
(parameterisation, diagnostics, and configuration) throughout the whole life
cycle, i. e. from planning to maintenance of the machine commissioned.
»PLC Designer«
Code
Parameter by means of which you can parameterise or monitor the controller. In
everyday language, the term is also referred to as "index".
Subcode
If a code contains several parameters, they are stored in "subcodes".
In the documentation, the slash "/" is used as a separator between the code and
the subcode (e.g. "C00118/3").
In everyday language, the term is also referred to as "subindex".
Lenze setting
Default settings for the device.
Basic setting
PDO
