The components can be combined to suit the application and connected with simple plug-in
connections. The terminal modules are used instead of conventional terminal blocks and act
as the interface to the sensors and actuators.
In addition to the terminal module versions with screw-type terminals or push-in systems,
there are also versions with LED signaling and signal conditioning, for example, from
230 V AC to 24 V DC.
