Term/abbreviation Meaning

Connection block Exchangeable housing upper part of modules with connection technology.

CP Compact Performance

CPX bus node Provides the connection to specific fieldbuses. Transmits control signals

to the connected modules and monitors their ability to function.

CPX terminal Modular, electric terminal type 50

CPX modules Collective term for the various modules which can be integrated in a CPX

terminal.

DIL switch Dual−in−line switches consist of several logic elements with which settings

can be made.

Fieldbus Data bus via which the CPX modules communicate with each other and

are supplied with the necessary operating voltage.

Function modules Function modules are also known as technology modules (e.g. CPX−CP

interface)

Input module CPX input module

Interlinking block Lower part of the housing of a module or block for interlinking the module

electrically with the terminal

I Digital input

I/O diagnostic interface The I/O diagnostic interface is a bus−independent diagnostic interface at

I/O level, permitting access to internal data of the CPX terminal.

I/O modules Common term for the CPX modules which provide digital inputs and out

puts (CPX input modules and CPX output modules).
