The configuration gathers together the data which characterizes the machine (invariant) and which is necessary for the module to operate. All this information is stored in the constant PLC %KW zone. The PLC application cannot modify them.
CPU
Central Processing Unit: generic name used for Schneider Electric processors
Debugging
Debugging is a Control Expert service used to check the module directly when it is online.
Explicit exchanges
Exchanges between the CPU and the application-specific modules that are performed at the initiative of the Control Expert program for updating data specific to the module
I/O
Inputs/Outputs
Momentum
I/O modules using several open standard communication networks.
Operating mode
These are all the rules governing the behavior of the module during the transitional phases or on the appearance of a fault.
