consists of different components and integrated system functions according to the
automation task.
Baud rate
Data transmission rate indicates the number of bits transmitted per second (baud rate = bit
rate).
Bit memory
Bit memory is a component of the system memory of the CPU for saving intermediate results.

Bus, self-assembling
The modules are lined up on the mounting rail, and are mechanically and electrically
connected to each other with a U connector as they are swiveled into position. In this way the
bus is extended with each module.
