1.1 ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS
MFM WEG Motion Fleet Managment. Cloud service platform used in WEG IoT applications.
Drive Frequency inverter.
Asset Dispositivo que normalmente possui um bom valor agregado (um inversor de frequência
CFW11, por exemplo).
Attribute An attribute usually consists of only one variable monitored by the Drive Scan published in
the MFM, but there are situations where a variable is subdivided into more than one attribute,
such as: last value, average value, minimum value and maximum value.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Protocol that allows devices newly connected to a
network to obtain an IP address automatically.
DNS System responsible for translating IP addresses into domain names and vice versa.
Ethernet Interconnection architecture for local area networks (IEEE 802.3).
Firmware Set of operating instructions that are programmed directly into electronic equipment hard-
ware.
Gateway Electronic device that allows data flow between different communication networks.
Hardware Equipment or device.
IoT Internet of Things. Technology that allows machine-to-machine communication using an
internet connection.
IP Internet Protocol. Internet protocol for forwarding datagrams between networked devices.
