TM 5-3895-374-24-1Minimum Watts-The amount of heat dissipation that can occur when there is no fieldpower presentMulti-master network-A network in which more than one node has the ability to initiatecommunications and initialize the link.Network-A series of stations (nodes) connected by some type of communication medium.A network may be made up of a single link or multiple links.Node-Also called a station. An address or software location on the network.Nominal Input Current- The current at nominal input voltage.Off-StateCurrent-For input circuits, the maximum amount of leakagecurrent allowed from an input device inits Off stateOff-State Leakage- For output circuits, the maximum amount of (leakage) current that mayflow when the output circuit Is In its Off-stateOff-State Voltage (max)-The maximum input voltage level detected as an Off condition bythe input module.On-State Voltage Drop-The voltage developed across the output driver circuit during theOn state at maximum load currentOperating Voltage- For inputs, the voltage range needed for the input to be in the on state.For outputs, the allowable range of user-supplied voltageOutput Device - A device, such as a pilot light or a motor starter coil, thatis energized by the programmable controller.Points per Common-The number of Input or output pints connected to asingle return (common) or supply (vcc)Protocol- The "language" or packaging of information that is transmitted across a network(I/O) Rack-An I/O addressing unlit that corresponds to 8 input image-table words and8output image-table words. A rack can contain a maximum of 8 I/O groups for up to 128discrete I/O.Remote I/O Network-- A network where the communication between the processor andthe I/O is across a serial link.RS-232- An EIA standard that specifies electrical, mechanical, and functional characteristicsfor serial binary communication circuits. A single-ended serial communication interfaceResponder-A node on the DH4X5 network that acts a slave device. A responder is notcapable of initiating communications. It can only send messages in response to a requestfrom an initiator. The SLC 5/01 and 5/02 can also be responders.(page 3-465)Glossary
