Anybus CompactCom is available in three hardware formats; Module, Chip, and Brick.

outline, connectors, LED indicators, mounting parts etc. They are also available as modules
without housing.

B.3.2 Chip
The chip (C30/C40) versions of the Anybus CompactCom differ completely when it comes to
physical dimensions.
There is no way to migrate a chip solution from the 30-series to the 40-series
without a major hardware update.
