20 About the manual DeviceNet terms and abbreviationsStatus word 16-bit or 32-bit word from slave to master withbit-coded status messagesTerm ExplanationChange of State/CyclicMessageChange of State/Cyclic Message is transmittedby either the master or the slave. A Change ofState/Cyclic Message is directed towards asingle specific node (point-to-point). AnAcknowledge Message may be returned inresponse to this message.CIP™ Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is anindustrial protocol for industrial automationapplications. It is managed by ODVA.EDS File Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file identifies theproperties of the device to the DeviceNetScanner. Each type of drive and applicationprogram requires its own EDS file.Input In the ODVA DeviceNet specification the word‘input’ is used to describe data flow from adevice (such as FDNA-01) to the network.I/O assembly selection Smart networked devices (like FDNA-01) canproduce and/or consume more than one I/Ovalue. Typically, they produce and/or consumeone or more I/O value, as well as status anddiagnostic information. Each piece of datacommunicated by a device is represented by anattribute of one of the device’s internal objects.Communicating multiple pieces of data(attributes) across a single I/O connectionrequires that the attributes be grouped orassembled together into a single block.MAC ID Every node on DeviceNet network has to havea unique identifier. This node number is calledMAC ID (Media Access Control Identifier).Term Explanation
