5.2.1
I-device functionality
I-device functionality
The "I-device" (intelligent IO device) functionality of a CPU facilitates data exchange with an
IO controller and operation of the CPU as intelligent preprocessing unit of sub processes, for
example. The I-device is linked as an IO device to a "higher-level" IO controller.
The preprocessing is handled by the user program in the I-device. The process values
acquired in the centralized or distributed (PROFINET IO or PROFIBUS DP) I/O are preprocessed
by the user program and made available to the IO controller.

"I-device" naming conventions
In the remainder of this description, a CPU or a CP with I-device functionality is simply called
an "I-device".
