Definition
BOOTP
Bootstrap Protocol
A computer networking protocol used to automatically assign an IP address to network devices from a configuration server.
BP
Backplane Power
Power that is generated from module power by the adapter and expansion power, and supplied to the I/O system through the backplane.
CIP™
Common Industrial Protocol
An industrial communication protocol that is used by Logix 5000® based automation systems on EtherNet/IP™, ControlNet®, and DeviceNet® communication networks.
CIP Sync™
Common Industrial Protocol Synchronization
CIP Sync provides the increased control coordination needed for control applications where absolute time synchronization is vital to achieve real-time synchronization between distributed intelligent devices and systems.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
A network protocol used to automate the process of assigning IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network.
DLR
Device Level Ring
A network technology that takes advantage of embedded-switch functionality in automation devices.
MB
Mounting Base
A device that provides data and power connections from the backplane to the installed module.
MP
Module Power
Power that is supplied to the adapter and expansion power.
NFC
Near Field Communication
A short-range wireless technology that enables communication between two electronic devices over a distance of 4 cm (1.6 in.) or less.
ODVA
Open DeviceNet Vendor Association
A nonprofit association of vendors that are established for the promotion of CIP networks.
PRP
Parallel Redundancy Protocol
An EtherNet /IP specification used to create network redundancy by allowing PRP enabled devices to send duplicate Ethernet frames over two independent Local Area Networks (LANs).
RIUP
Removal and Insertion Under Power
A feature that enables the device to be connected and disconnected from the system without having to remove power from the system.
RPI
Requested Packet Interval
Time interval (usually in milliseconds) that users are requesting their data be exchanged at
RTB
Removable Terminal Block
A component that is used for wiring field devices to.
SA
Sensor Actuator - Power
Sensor Actuator Power (24V DC nominal) for the field devices.
SELV
Safety Extra Low Voltage
An electrical system where the voltage level is considered safe under normal or fault conditions, as defined in the EN and IEC standards.
XT
Extreme Environment
Modules with XT at the end of their catalog numbers have design considerations and conformal coating that add a degree of protection for harsh, corrosive gas environments.
