Glossary
The glossary contains terms and acronyms that are used in this manual.
1
100Base-TX: Fast Ethernet network implementation. 100Base-TX stands for 10Mbps
baseband twisted-pair cable. The “X” stands for 100Base-X, the IEEE identifier for the
media system used by 100Base-TX.
10Base-T: Ethernet network implementation. 10Base-T stands for 10Mbps baseband
twisted-pair cable.
A
alarm priority: Ranking of a point alarm.
analog input-electric: Analog input point that receives either a current, voltage, or
resistance input signal.
analog output-pneumatic: Analog output point that outputs a pneumatic signal.
AO-V point: Physical analog output point that generates a voltage signal.
Automation Level Network (ALN): The level in the communication hierarchy that
consists of automation stations, automation devices, Application-Specific Controllers
(ASCs), etc.
B
BACnet: A data communication protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks,
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004. BACnet allows devices from multiple
manufacturers to work together on a network.
BACnet Broadcast Message Device (BBMD): BBMDs pass BACnet Broadcast
Messages to other BBMDs on the network, allowing these messages to reach BACnet
devices on the other side of a subnet router.
BACnet Encoded Name: A numeric representation of an object name that exceeds the
TALON standard of 30 alphanumeric characters or less per name.
BACnet/IP: BACnet over IP protocol.
BBMD: See
BACnet Broadcast Message Device
.
broadcast: Destination IP address that represents all interfaces on all hosts. Usually,
this is restricted to all hosts on the local subnet.
C
command priority: Ranking of a point command.
current value: Last commanded or sensed value of a logical point.
D
Device ID: Uniquely identifies a device object on the BACnet Inter network.
Device Instance Number: A number assigned to a BACnet device (for example, a
BACnet field panel) that uniquely identifies it on the BACnet/IP network.
Device port: A USB Device port supports a generic serial interface for an HMI or Tool
connection.
Device Specific Name: A textual representation of a BACnet object name that meets
the TALON naming standard of 30 alphanumeric characters or less.
digitized value: Integer value used by the field panel to determine the logical value,
state, and condition of logical points.
