| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| CB | Circuit Breaker |
| CESE | Ultracapacitor Energy Storage Enclosure |
| CGI | Common Gateway Interface. CGI software is used when passing data between the Vcan serial communications bus and the remote web pages. |
| CT | Current Transformer (sometimes means Coupling Transformer). |
| DSPE | Digital signal processing engine. Control processor board. Fits on top of the MSIB and VSIB |
| GDM | Graphic Display Module. The main HMI (Human Machine Interface) for the PCS100 products |
| GDMIB | Graphics Display Module Interface Board. A small circuit board inside the GDM. Its main function is an interface between Vcan and the GDM. |
| MSIB | Master Stack Interface Board (located in the master module) |
| NC | Normally closed (Relay) |

| PCB | Printed Circuit board |
| PCS100 | A generic range of ABB LV power converter products. |
| PTC | Positive Temperature Coefficient temperature sensor. |
| SCM | System Configuration Module. A small circuit board located inside the master module. When the PCS100 product powers up the SCM checks the SW revisions and the hardware configuration (i.e., the number of inverter and rectifier modules). |
| VCAN | The name of the high-speed serial communications bus protocol used by the different modules in the PCS100 products to communicate to each other. These modules are the Master Module, Inverter Module, Rectifier Module, SCM and GDM. |
| Vcanserver | The name of the driver software for the Vcan bus |
| VSIB | Slave Stack Interface Board (located in a inverter or rectifier module) |
| VT | Voltage Transformer or potential transformers (PT) for metering and protection in high/medium-voltage circuits |
