Analog module

Analog modules convert process values (e.g. temperature) into digital values which can be

processing in the CPU, or they convert digital values into analog manipulated variables.

ASIC

ASIC is the acronym for Application Specific Integrated Circuits.

PROFINET ASICs are components with a wide range of functions for the development of

your own devices. They implement the requirements of the PROFINET standard in a circuit

and allow extremely high packing densities and performance.

Because PROFINET is an open standard, SIMATIC NET offers PROFINET ASICs for the

development of your old devices under the name ERTEC .

Backplane bus

The backplane bus is a serial data bus. It supplies power to the modules and is also used by

the modules to communicate with each other. Bus connectors interconnect the modules.
