2.7 Embedded parameter chip
Information such as module type, serial number, functionality and version number is contained in the embedded
parameter chip of the X90 mobile module. This information is automatically evaluated by the programming envi-
ronment (Automation Studio) and by the application program. This prevents errors during both commissioning and
service. In addition, the system configuration can be automated and flexible variants are made possible.
For validated systems, it is becoming increasingly important to have module serial numbers that are unique world-
wide – as required by the FDA, for example.
2.8 Multifunction inputs and outputs
Multifunction inputs and outputs are used to cover the variability of the automation solution.
Each channel can be configured individually in the software for the required function.
In this way, for example, a level sensor that previously supplied a 0 to 10 V signal can be replaced by a new sensor
with a 4 to 20 mA signal without changing the control system.

2.9 Space for options
Depending on requirements and the application, the X90 mobile system family combines exactly the components
that are needed. Machine options can be easily implemented in different ways. Functions can be configured on
four option boards.
