A coil is a single bit in the memory that can be accessed using Modbus:<br />

read or write access with FC 1, 5, 15. Depending on the used Modbus<br />

function code a single coil or several coils lying in succession can be<br />

accessed.<br />

A file containing configuration information about a device being a part of a<br />

network that can be read out by masters for system configuration. Device<br />

Description Files use various formats which depend on the communication<br />

system. Often these formats are based on XML such as EDS_files or<br />

GSDML_files. Contains configuration information<br />

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol<br />

This is a protocol simplifying the configuration of IP networks by<br />

automatically assigning IP addresses.<br />

A “Discrete Input” (as defined in the Modbus terminology) is a single bit in<br />

the memory which can be accessed using Modbus (read with FC 2).<br />

A communication system for industrial <strong>Ethernet</strong> designed and developed by<br />

Beckhoff Automation GmbH.<br />

A networking technology used both for office and industrial communication<br />

via electrical or optical connections. It has been developed and specified by<br />

the Intel, DEC and XEROX. It provides data transmission with collision<br />

control and allows various protocols. As <strong>Ethernet</strong> is not necessarily capable<br />

for real-time application, various real-time extensions have been<br />

developed.<br />

A communication system for industrial <strong>Ethernet</strong> designed and developed by<br />

Rockwell. It partly uses the CIP (Common Industrial Protocol).<br />

A communication system for industrial <strong>Ethernet</strong> designed and developed by<br />

B&R. It partly uses CANopen technologies.<br />
