The communication module CM579-PNIO acts as I/O controller in a PROFINET network. It
is connected to the processor module via an internal communication bus. Depending on the
terminal base, several communication modules can be used for one processor module.
The communication interface modules CI5xx-PNIO act as I/O devices in a PROFINET network.
Additionally the communication module CM589-PNIO(-4) can be used to setup a AC500 PLC to
act as I/O module in a PROFINET network.
The difference of the CI5xx-PNIO devices can be found in their input and output characteristics
