Understanding Terminology
Power-management system terminology can be intimidating to new PMCS
users. The list below defines many of the important terms and acronyms used in
this guide and other PMCS manuals. Refer back to this list as new terms are
presented later.

Baud rate: A measurement of a communication channel's signaling rate or
information-carrying capacity. Communicating devices typically have
configurable baud rates to provide compatibility with various speed
communication networks. Higher baud rates generally provide faster data-
refresh times.

CIMPLICITY HMI: An industry-standard SCADA software package providing
flexible, accurate, and easy-to-use graphics. CIMPLICITY HMI is based on
client-server architecture, consisting of Servers and Viewer Workstations.
Servers are responsible for the collection and distribution of data. Viewer
Workstations connect into Servers and have full access to the collected data for
viewing and control actions. Servers and Viewer Workstations can be easily
networked together to seamlessly share data without the need to replicate your
point database from node to node.
