Glossary<br />
GL–5<br />
Signal Delay — For inputs, the response time required to transmit<br />
the circuit status from the field wiring to the digital logic. For<br />
outputs, the time required to transmit the circuit status from digital<br />
logic to the output wiring.<br />
Sinking — A term used to describe current flow between an I/O<br />
device and SLC I/O circuit — typically, a sinking device or circuit<br />
provides a path to ground, low, or negative side of power supply.<br />
Sinking/Sourcing — Describes a current signal flow relationship<br />
between field input and output devices in a control system and their<br />
power supply. Sourcing I/O modules supply (or source) current to<br />
sinking field devices. Sinking I/O modules receive (or sink) current<br />
from sourcing field devices.<br />
Sourcing — A term used to describe current flow between an I/O<br />
device and SLC I/O circuit — typically, a sourcing device or circuit<br />
provides a path to the source, high, or positive side of power supply.<br />
Strobe Message — A strobe message is a multicast transfer of data<br />
sent by the scanner that solicits a response from each slave device.<br />
The devices respond with their data.<br />
Surge Current Per Point — The maximum amplitude and duration<br />
(pulse) of current allowed for a given period of time and<br />
temperature.<br />
Surge Suppressor — A device used to absorb voltage transients<br />
created by energizing an inductive load to reduce electrical noise or<br />
to protect the output circuit. For example, an R-C network, MOV<br />
(metal oxide varistor) or diode.<br />
Token — The logical right to initiate communications. In a<br />
multi-master network a single token is passed between initiators to<br />
make sure two nodes do not transmit at the same time.<br />
UVPROM — An Ultra-Violet light erasable Programmable Read<br />
Only Memory module used to back-up, store, or transfer SLC 500<br />
programs. The SLC 5/01 and SLC 5/02 can only read from a<br />
UVPROM. An external PROM programmer is used to program<br />
(write to) the device.<br />
Voltage Category — The nominal voltage used to describe the<br />
module.<br />
Watts Per Point — The maximum heat dissipation that can occur in<br />
each field wiring point when energized.<br />
