●Earth (Ground)
To connect casings of devices and/or electronics’ reference potential wirings etc. to the reference potential point in order to eliminate noises and electric shocks, etc. Or it can mean the reference potential point itself.
●EEPROM（Electrically Erasable PROM）
A kind of nonvolatile memories which can be written on or erased. Sustainable of data even after power is cut off.
●Emergency Stop Circuit
A circuit which enables the device to stop ether manually or automatically in case the device is in a dangerous state.
