The Central Interface Module (CIM) handles the communication with the higher-level
controller and with the connected Power Output Modules (POM). The CIM also provides the
24 V DC power supply for the connected POMs and fan modules. The CIM is available in
two versions: with a PROFINET-interface or with a PROFIBUS-interface.
