9.4.1Design

The modules are designed as plug-in PCBs for central controllers and expansion units with a backplane connector and with a blade connector to accept a plug-in front connector. You can directly connect the process signal lines to the front connector, which is available separately, with screw or crimp terminals.

Addressing	Situated on each module is an addressing switch with six rockers to set the
