Description
Connects a system CPX-E to the network; transmits control signals to the
connected modules CPX-E and monitors their functionality.
Protocol-specific file for configuring the bus module in the control software
for the higher-order controller. This contains all the information required to
parameterise the system CPX-E via control software.
Switches consisting of several switch elements with which settings can be made
(dual in-line).
Device description file for EtherNet/IP (electronic data sheet)
Protocol by means of which the higher-order controller communicates with the
system CPX-E or other devices in the network.
Input and output
Network-independent diagnostic interface at I/O level, which enables access
to the internal data of the system CPX-E.
Collective term for the modules that provide analogue or digital inputs/outputs.
Collective term for the various modules which can be incorporated in a system
CPX-E.
Programmable logic controller
Internal status information (common diagnostic messages) of the system CPX-E,
provided as input signals via the network.
