Indication RAISING
The status of the indication changes from OFF to ON, that is the indication is
currently present.
Input direction/
Input data
Data-transmission direction from the IO device to the IO controller with the direction
of data transmission always being observed from the location of the IO controller.
This transmission direction is also referred to as the monitoring direction.
IO controller
Controlling device in a PROFINET IO network
IO device
Controlled device in a PROFINET IO network
IO module
Module in the IO device which executes a part of or all input and output
functionalities (indications, measured values, commands, etc.) of the device,
including the associated parameter settings via the PROFINET IO parameterization
software.
An IO module can be either real hardware (hardware module for the data
acquisition in a modular IO device, for example ET200S from Siemens I IA) or a
virtual module. The module can be parameterized for different applications in a
SIPROTEC device.
