5.4.4 Programmable Module Object
A programmable module represents the parameter assignment data of a programmable module
(CPUxxx, FMxxx, CPxxx). The system data of modules with no retentive memory (for example,
CP441) are loaded via the CPU of the station. For this reason, no "system data" object is assigned
to such modules and they are not displayed in the project hierarchy.
