The parameters are preset at the factory. These pre-settings
can be used for a large number of applications. With the aid
of parametrizing, the reaction of the CPX terminal or the reac-
tion of the individual modules and I/O channels can be
adapted to each particular application.
The possibilities available depend on the field bus protocol
used. Explanations on this can be found in the manual for the
field bus node.
A distinction is made between the following types of para-
meters:
Types of Description
parameters
System parameters Influence the reaction of the complete CPX
terminal
Module parameters
– Module-specific Influence the reaction of a particular module
– Channel-specific Influence the reaction of a particular input or
output channel
Diagnostic memory Influence the working method of the internal
parameters diagnostic memory
Table 4/1: Types of parameters
The individual parameters are described in detail in Appendix
B.2. Basic principles of using the parameters can be found in
Appendix C.1. The tables below give a brief overview of the
most important parameters.
