Fieldbus connection CPX terminals with fieldbus connection permit communica
tion with remotely−situated higher−order control systems.
CPX terminals are constructed on a modular basis and can
consist of the following modules, for example:
Modules
Brief description
CPX bus node for connecting to
higher−order control systems via the
fieldbus;
Connections depend on the design of
the CPX bus node
CPX Front End Controller for control
ling pneumatic and electric actua
tors; communication via Ethernet
(web server, e−mail, Modbus TCP,
EasyIP etc.)
CPX I/O modules for evaluating pro
cess signals;
