Engineering Units Low Value (EULV)
A floatingĆpoint number that represents the lowest limit of the input range
of an analog input signal.
Enhanced Pulse Count Input (EPCI)
A PROVOX point type. An EPCI point reads a series of electronic pulses
or switch closures as an unsigned, 16Ćbit integer value, then calculates
accumulation and rate values.
EPCI Acronym: Enhanced Pulse Count Input
EPROM Acronym: Erasable Programmable ReadĆOnly Memory
Erasable Programmable ReadĆOnly Memory (EPROM)
A semiconductor memory device that is programmable electrically, but
erasable only by exposure to highĆintensity ultraviolet light. Another
name for ultraviolet readĆonly memory.
ERR Abbreviation: Error
Error Signal In a closed loop, the difference between the actual value of a particular
signal and its desired value.
ErrorĆSquared PI_PID
A type of primary control algorithm which is similar to a normal PI_PID
algorithm, but acts on the square of the error signal instead of the normal
error signal value.
ESD Acronym: Electrostatic Damage
EU Acronym: Engineering Units
EUHV Acronym: Engineering Units High Value
EULV Acronym: Engineering Units Low Value
Exception A type of unsolicited reporting: the reporting device sends a new value
only if the sample period has expired and the value has changed by
more than a specified amount since the last transmission.
EXT Abbreviation: External. In PROVOX systems, EXT usually refers to an
External Interface card.
Extended Data Acquisition System (EDAS)
Additions to the basic console and unit controller functions that permit
pressure/temperature compensation, alarm generation, accumulations,
and rateĆofĆchange calculations.
