Wh a t are the customer benefits?
consumption of asynchronous instructions.
You can use this information to ensure ade-
quate resources in the CPU.
Configuration control provides you with the
following advantages:
Different configuration levels of a standard
•
machine can be handled in a single pro-
ject.
No changes to the hardware configuration
•
or user program are needed.
Flexibility to vary the central-
•
ized/decentralized structure of a system.
Easy handling during maintenance, ver-
•
sioning and upgrades.
Hardware savings: You only use the I/O
•
modules that you currently need.
Potential savings when building, commis-
•
sioning and creating documentation for
standard machines.
You are given information on proper connec-
tion of the power supply elements.
You are given information on proper connec-
tion of the CPU/interface module to the load
current supply.
You are given information on fast firmware
updates via accessible devices in the net-
work.
