Festo CPX-FB6 Bus node

The bus node, also known as fieldbus node, communication module, or bus interface, with type number CPX-FB6 from Festo, is an electrical module for integrating devices into a fieldbus system. It has the dimensions 5 x 5 x 11 cm and weighs 0.12 kg. Bus nodes serve for control and communication in industrial automation systems by mediating data between field devices and higher-level controllers. Typical applications are found in machine automation for networking sensors and actuators, as well as in process control technology for data transmission between different system components.
