The Bootstrap Protocol is a UDP network protocol that can be used by a network<br />

client to automatically obtain an IP address (and possibly other data) from a server.<br />

The client identifies itself to the server using the client’s MAC address. The server—<br />

which maintains a pre-configured table of client device MAC addresses and<br />

associated IP addresses—sends the client its pre-configured IP address. BOOTP<br />

was originally used as a method that enabled diskless hosts to be remotely booted<br />

over a network. The BOOTP process assigns an infinite lease of an IP address. The<br />

BOOTP service utilizes UDP ports 67 and 68.<br />

When 8 bits are grouped together, they are called a BYTE. You can enter a BYTE<br />

either in binary mode or in base 8. The BYTE type is encoded in an 8-bit format that<br />

ranges from 16#00 to 16#FF (in hexadecimal format).<br />

The Controller Area Network protocol (ISO 11898) for serial bus networks is<br />

designed for the interconnection of smart devices (from multiple manufacturers) in<br />

smart <strong>system</strong>s for real-time industrial applications. CAN multi-master <strong>system</strong>s<br />

ensure high data integrity through the implementation of broadcast messaging and<br />

advanced diagnostic mechanisms. Originally developed for use in automobiles,<br />

CAN is now used in a variety of industrial automation control environments.<br />

CANopen is an open industry-standard communication protocol and device profile<br />

specification.<br />

The Continuous Function Chart (an extension of the IEC61131-3 standard) is a<br />

graphical programming language that works like a flowchart. By adding simple<br />

logicals blocks (AND, OR, etc.), each function or function block in the program is<br />

represented in this graphical format. For each block, the inputs are on the left and<br />

the outputs on the right. Block outputs can be linked to inputs of other blocks in order<br />

to create complex expressions.<br />

A controller (or “programmable logic controller,” or “programmable controller”) is<br />

used to automate industrial processes.<br />
