Epsilon EP-I Indexing Drive and FM-2 Indexing Module Reference Manual
EMC
Electromagnetic Compatibility
EMI - Electro-Magnetic Interference
EMI is noise which, when coupled into sensitive electronic circuits, may cause problems.
Firmware
The term firmware refers to software (i.e., computer programs) that are stored in some fixed form, such as read-only memory
(ROM).
Flash
Another type of EEPROM.
Flash File
In the FM-3, this file loads the firmware into the drive and function module. Flash files can field upgrade the firmware.
FM
Function Module - device which is attached to the front of the drive to provide additional functionality.
Home Routine
The home provides motion in applications in which the axis must precisely align with some part of a machine.
Hysteresis
For a system with an analog input, the output tends to maintain its current value until the input level changes past the point
that set the current output value. The difference in response of a system to an increasing input signal versus a decreasing input
signal.
I/O
Input/Output. The reception and transmission of information between control devices. In modern control systems, I/O has
two distinct forms: switches, relays, etc., which are in either an on or off state, or analog signals that are continuous in nature
generally depicting values for speed, temperature, flow, etc.
Index
An index is a complete motion sequence (defined motion profile) that moves the motor a specific incremental distance or to
an absolute position.
Inertia
The property of an object to resist changes in rotary velocity unless acted upon by an outside force. Higher inertia objects
require larger torque to accelerate and decelerate. Inertia is dependent upon the mass and shape of the object.
Input Function
A function (i.e., Stop, Preset) that may be attached to an input line.
Input Line
The terminals of a device or circuit to which energy is applied.
Least Significant Bit
The bit in a binary number that is the least important or having the least weight.
LED
Light Emitting Diode.
List Box
In a dialog box, a list box is an area in which the user can choose among a list of items, such as files, directories, printers or
the like.
