initial model file
The initial model file in the Design
Number of Hidden Neurons and Train
operations is an optional parameter. If the
architecture of the initial model file does
not match the required architecture, the
operation will still work. If there are too
many weights, the program simply
discards the excess weights. If there are
too few weights, the program randomizes
additional weights. As an alternative to
using an initial model file, select
RANDOM to use random weights.
input layer
The first layer of a neural net, which is
composed of input neurons.
input neuron
An element of the input layer, which
reads in a raw input value.
input/output (IO or I/O)
Signal reception and transmission, or
signal interfacing. Input, for a process
control device, involves accepting and
processing signals from field devices.
Output, for a process control device,
involves converting commands into
electrical signals to field devices.
input sample rate
The rate at which the data historian
sampled the input data. The rate times
the scan rate multiplier gives the rate at
which the intelligent sensor is to execute,
called the network execution rate.
insertion loss
The amount of loss when a signal goes
through a tap.
INSTCOMN table
Main index table for Table View.
Institute o f Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE)
An independent technical organization
that defines standards for the electrical,
electronic, and computer industries.
instruction
1. In data processing, a statement that
specifies an operation and values or
locations of its operands.
2. An individual function of a function
sequence table (FST), which is an
algorithm that runs under a logic control
point (LCP). Individual instructions are
entered on the ENVOXr LCP FST form
using the Instruction Editor. Instructions
are linked together to create a control
strategy.
See Command, Function Sequence
Table (FST), and Operation.
instrument function
Part of the tag number; indicates the
function performed by a device.
instrument function/group
Letter codes representing a set of related
instrument IDs. Loop numbering is
dependent upon instrument group, the
type of loop numbering, and the location
of a tag.
instrument ID
Consists of two or more identification
letters. The first letter (or instrument
group) is a general classification of what
a device does, and the subsequent
letters (or functional identifiers) specify
what the device does in more detail. The
instrument ID components have a
number of different naming conventions,
and IIS has standardized on the definition
above.
