     Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA) is an association of automation companies that support network technologies based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIPtrademark: TM).
 
   Fibre Channel
 
     Fibre channel is a high-speed, serial data transfer architecture that uses links of twisted-pair, coaxial, or fiber optic cable. Small computer system interface (SCSI) devices can use fibre channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL), the most popular fibre channel typology. Using optical fiber, FC-AL supports full-duplex data transfer rates of 100 Mbps. Eventually, FC-AL is expected to replace SCSI in high-performance storage systems.
 
   Fieldbus
 
     Fieldbus is a general digital communication network used in industrial applications.  It is used to link industrial devices such as actuators, sensors, transducers, controllers, and other industrial components.
 
   GPIB (IEEE 488, HPIB)
 
     The general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) is designed to connect computers, peripherals and laboratory instruments so that data and control information can pass between them. It was originally developed by Hewlett Packard (HP) and called the HPIB bus. GPIB is also know as the IEEE 488 bus, and is electrically equivalent to the IEC 625 bus.  
 
   Gigabit Ethernet
 
     Gigabit Ethernet is a type of Ethernet protocol (standard 802.3z) that supports data transfer rate of 1 gigabit per second.
 
   High Speed Ethernet
 
     Fast Ethernet or High Speed Ethernet (HSE) is a networking standard that supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps. There are two types of Fast Ethernet: 100Base-X and 100Base-T. 100Base-X uses two physical links, one for transmission and one for reception, between nodes. 100Base-T uses medium access control protocol (MAC). The IEEE 802.3 committee developed the standards for Fast Ethernet.
 
   IEEE 1394 (FireWire®)
 
     IEEE 1394 or FireWire® is an interface standard adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for very fast digital data transfers such as streaming video. IEEE 1394 connectors are used to transmit and receive data among FireWire devices. They are designed to replace external high-speed peripheral connections to personal computers, including hard disks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, graphics cards, high-speed scanners, direct video, monitors, etc. Tiny, robust FireWire connectors will also become important parts of home entertainment, communication, and appliance networks. FireWire is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. 
 
   Infiniband®
 
     InfiniBand®, a registered trademark of system I/O Inc., is a bus architecture that is grounded in channel-based I/O, a model used with mainframe computers. Attaching host channel adapters and target channel adapters through InfiniBand switches creates InfiniBand channels. Host channel adapters are I/O engines located within a server. Target channel adapters enable remote storage and network connectivity within the InfiniBand interconnect infrastructure. This infrastructure, which is called a fabric, is based on the way that input and output connections are constructed between a host and targets. All InfiniBand connections are created with InfiniBand links that use both copper wire and fiber optics for transmission. This design provides a new way of connecting servers together in a data center. It also enables the implementation of new server strategies.
 
   LAN / Ethernet
 
     Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) protocol that uses a bus or star typology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. The Ethernet specification is the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. To handle simultaneous demands, Ethernet uses carrier sense multiple access / collision detection (CSMA/CD) to monitor network traffic.
 
   ATM
 
     Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA) is an association of automation companies that support network technologies based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIPtrademark: TM).
 
   CC-LINK
 
     CC-LINK is high speed industrial communication protocol that enables devices from different manufacturers to communicate.
 
   Parallel
 
     Parallel interfaces simultaneously transmit multiple bits of data over separate lines (e.g., eight bits over eight lines). They are usually unidirectional.
 
   SAE J1939
 
     SAE J1939 is an industrial protocol based on the BusCan protocol.
 
   Serial / RS-232/422/485
 
     This is the most common transmission mode. Serial technology transmits data one bit at a time. Information bits are sent sequentially on a single data channel. Serial protocols include RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and others.
 
   SCSI
 
     Small computer systems interface (SCSI) is an intelligent I/O parallel peripheral bus with a standard, device-independent protocol that allows many peripheral devices to be connected to the SCSI port. A single SCSI bus can drive up to eight devices or units, the host adapter or controller, and seven other devices. Each device is assigned a different SCSI ID, ranging from 0 to 7.  SCSI formats include SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3, Wide SCSI, Fast SCSI, Wide Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI, Ultra3 SCI (Ultra160), Ultra 320 SCSI, and Ultra640 SCSI.
 
   USB
 
     Universal serial bus (USB) is a 4-wire, 12-Mbps serial bus for low-to-medium speed peripheral device connections to personal computers (PC), including keyboards, mice, modems, printers, joysticks, audio functions, monitor controls, etc. The USB design is standardized by the USB Implementers Forum (USBIF), an organization that includes leading companies from the computer and electronics industries. The current USB specification is USB 2.0, which supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps.

   Coaxial
 
     Coaxial cable consists of two cylindrical conductors with a common axis. The two conductors are separated by a dielectric. The outer conductor, normally at ground-potential, acts as a return path for current flowing through the center conductor and prevents energy radiation from the cable. The outer conductor, or shield, is also commonly used to prevent external radiation from affecting the current flowing in the inner conductor. The outer shield or conductor consists of woven strands of wire or is a metal sheath.
 
   Fiber Optic
 
     Fiber optic cable offers up the possibility of near infinite bandwidth and perfect immunity to noise. The trade-off is cost and difficulty of installation. It costs significantly more to purchase fiber optic cable, connectors, patch panels, jumper cables, tools, and network interface cards (NICs).
 
   Multi-Signal/Composite
 
     Cables used for multi signal applications.
 
   PLTC

There is a third circular conductor shield that is insulated from and is concentric with the first and second. Concentricity is usually with insulation, a braid, or impervious sheath overall.
 
   Twisted Pair
 
     A twisted pair is two wires twisted together to reduce susceptibility to RF noise. Two insulated copper conductors are wound around each other to cancel the effects of electrical noise. Twisted pairs are used as a popular and low-cost LAN cabling method that is also commonly used for telephone wiring. This method uses tow wires twisted together to minimize electrical interference. (See STP and UTP).

Definition

SCSI-1

SCSI-1, the original SCSI, was standardized by ANSI in 1986. Allows asynchronous data transfer rates of 1.5 MB/sec and synchronous transfer rates to a maximum of 5 MB/sec. It has an 8-bit SCSI port that uses Single-ended open-collector drivers. Uses a 50-pin connector. SCSI-1 is an obsolete standard after the development of SCSI-2.

SCSI-2

SCSI-2 has significant improvements over SCSI-1 including faster data transfer rates, better connectors, wider bus path, better reliability via synchronous negotiation and parity checking. SCSI-2 has a data transfer rate from 5 MB/sec to 10 Mb/sec. This speed change is called Fast SCSI-2. Also, SCSI-2 provides the option to double the bus from 8 bits to 16 bits. This change is known as Wide SCSI. By combining the Fast SCSI-2 with the Wide SCSI bus a maximum data rate of 20 MB/sec can be achieved.

SCSI-3

The SCSI-3 specification allows for faster transfer rate, more devices on a single chain (a maximum of 32), and also it incorporates serial connections in addition to the traditional parallel interconnect of SCSI-2. The serial interconnect of SCSI-3 incorporates three technologies: Serial Storage Architecture (SSA), Fibre Channel, and IEEE P1394. The serial transfer mode allows faster data rates, more devices per bus, simple connectors, and longer cables.

Regular

This is the default speed of the original specifications of SCSI-1. The regular bus speed is 5 MHz.

Fast

Fast SCSI increases the bus speed to 10 MHz. This doubling of the bus speed was defined in SCSI-2.

Ultra

Also known as Fast-20, it is specified in SCSI-3. The bus speed of Ultra SCSI is 20 MHz. Ultra SCSI buses have a maximum transfer rate of 20 MB/sec for Narrow SCSI, and 40 MB/sec for Wide SCSI.

These standards are written and administered by organizations such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and CSA International. CSA Marks may appear alone or with indicators. CSA Marks that appear alone are used with products certified primarily for the Canadian market, to the applicable Canadian standards. CSA Marks that appear with the indicators “C” and “US” or “NRTL/C” is used with products certified for both the U.S. and Canadian markets, to the applicable U.S. and Canadian standards.
