Terminology and abbreviations
Power supply mode | Describes a state in which the supply voltage lies in the range of the nominal supply voltage and the supplying power supply unit can supply a sufficient amount of current for the buffer module and the load. The mode can also be called "normal mode". |
Buffer operation | Describes a state in which the input voltage lies below the transition threshold value, the device is running on capacitors (buffering) and the output is loaded within the permissible limits. The mode can also be called "capacitor mode". |
Inhibit mode | Describes a state in which the buffering is deliberately disabled (e.g. for service work). |
T.b.d. | Still to be defined, value or description will follow in due course. |
DC 24 V | A value preceded by "AC" or "DC" represents a nominal voltage that contains standard tolerances. |
24 Vdc | A value followed by the unit Vac or Vdc is an instantaneous value that does not contain any additional tolerances. |
may | A keyword indicating a choice without implied preference. |
shall | A keyword indicating a mandatory requirement. |
should | A keyword indicating a choice with a clearly preferred method of implementation. |
