‘advanced’ and ‘retracting’ or ‘retracted’, respectively, which relate to piston rod cylinders with a
piston rod at one end. Depending on the pneumatic function, the meaning of the terms can be used for
other drives.

3.3 WebConfig user interface
The Motion Terminal has a WebConfig interface for commissioning and functional testing.
It can be opened using a browser on a device connected to the Motion Terminal controller. It is not
possible to access the WebConfig interface for the controller using the Ethernet connection of a bus
node in the CPX terminal.
The settings, configurations and actual values of the Motion Terminal can only be viewed; they cannot
be changed without a password. The password must be entered via the menu bar of the WebConfig
and can be changed after successful authentication. A forgotten password can only be reset by
updating the firmware.
