CP Compact Performance installation system, comprising a CP master with
one or more CP strings. The system consists of CP or CPI modules (without
or with extended functions).
CPA Pneumatic modules/valve terminal type 12
CPX bus Data bus via which the CPX modules communicate with each other and
are supplied with the necessary operating voltage.
CPX modules Collective term for the various modules which can be integrated into a
CPX terminal.
CMD software Parametrisation, commissioning and diagnostic software for stations on
the Interbus (configuration, monitoring, diagnostics).
CPX terminal Modular electric terminal type 50
DIL switch Dual-in-line switches consist of several switch elements with which set-
tings can be made.
FEC Front End Controller, e.g. CPX-FEC, can be used as:
– stand-alone system controller (PLC, stand alone operating mode)
– system controller (PLC, remote controller operating mode)
– fieldbus slave (remote I/O operating mode)
Handheld Handheld terminal (handheld, CPX-MMI) for CPX modules for commission-
ing and service purposes (man-machine interface, MMI)
IDigital input
ID code By means of the Identification code (in brief: ident. code), the interface
module ascertains the type and the process data length of all stations.
Interface module The interface module is the central device for controlling the Interbus data
ring. It exchanges the data transported serially in the data ring with the
higher-order controller or computer system and the lower-order Interbus
stations in both directions acyclically or cyclically.
