The use of distributed I/Os is suitable for such systems:
● The automation system is located at a central position.
● The I/O devices (inputs and outputs) operate decentrally on site.
● The CFU PA with its integrated BusLink between PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS PA
enables decentralized connection of PA field devices to the CPU of the automation system.
