Installation and Operating Instructions ECOVARIO® 616, 616 D
73
HIPERFACE®
Universal interface for electric actuators by SICK STEGMANN GmbH, Do-
naueschingen
Host
Computer in a multi computer system that controls the whole system
ID number
Identifi cation number of a special device in a bus structure
Loadware
Part of the soft ware that can be stored to the fl ash memory of the servo ampli-
fi er
Node
Device connection in a bus structure
Positively-opening contacts Form of relays and contactors that prevents single contacts from switching in
case of errors
Repeater
Equipment for reinforcing and regenerating of signals in a network
Restart lock (AS)
Technical measure that prevents actuators safely by mechanical elements (posi-
tively driven contacts) from restarting indeliberately.
RMS
Root mean square
Sequencer programming Programming a work schedule in which a sequence of events is defi ned depen-
ding on external states (input data), internal states (actual values) or time states
Short circuit
Here: electrically conductive connection between two power systems or motor
phases
STO function
Safe Torque Off ; safety function defi ned in EN DIN 61800-5-2. Th e motor is
not supplied with energy and cannot generate a rotation. Th e STO function is
used for the implementation of the restart lock.
Token passing
Hybrid access method for multimaster systems; token passing uses a token, or
series of bits, to grant a master permission to transmit over the network, while
the transmission between master and slave is carried out aft er the master-slave
principle
Token system
In networking, a token is a special series of bits that travels around a token-ring
network. As the token circulates, computers attached to the network can cap-
ture it. Th e token acts like a ticket, enabling its owner to send a message across
the network. Th ere is only one token for each network, so there is no possibility
that two computers will attempt to transmit messages at the same time.
