ductors and the sensors and actuators.
Plug-in component from the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM
752
[Master]
Bus master which, as a higher ranking unit, controls
the data transmission on the bus. It interrogates the in-
put and status values of the slave devices and trans-
mits output and control data to them.
Processing unit for the interrogation of and access to
the decentral fieldbus equipment. It is the fieldbus
master which co-ordinates the bus traffic and transfers
the data to a control system.
[Input / output group, connection group]
General grouping of I/O channels. With their 8 chan-
nels, outputs form a supply group.
[I/O register]
Input / output area(s) for the I/O data
Input / Output data
Any fieldbus device from the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM
752 series consisting of a base module and an elec-
tronic module for the recording and output of digital
signals.
Input / output point, signal input or output
Fieldbus controller board
[Generator, initiator]
Device interrogated by the I/O module.
Bus slave addressed by a fieldbus master.
