New con-
tents
Compact CPUs
You can use compact CPUs for smaller to
medium-sized applications. The compact CPUs
have integrated analog and digital on-board
I/O as well as integrated technology func-
tions.
Starting from section System
overview (Page 32)
Technology CPUs
You can use technology CPUs for demanding
applications. Technology CPUs are equipped
with expanded motion control functions.
Starting from section System
overview (Page 32)
Fail-safe modules
With fail-safe modules, you replace the con-
ventional safety engineering technical setup.
For example, this involves replacement of
switching devices for EMERGENCY OFF, pro-
tective door monitoring and two-hand opera-
tion.

tions (Page 210)
Configuration control
Configuration control provides you with the
following advantages:
• Different configuration levels of a stand-
ard machine can be handled in a single
project.
• No changes to the hardware configuration
or user program are needed.
• Centralized/distributed configuration of a
system is flexibly variable
• Easy handling during maintenance, ver-
sioning and upgrades.
• Hardware savings: You only use the I/O
modules that you currently need.
• Potential savings when building, commis-
sioning and creating documentation for
standard machines.
