Modules in a VersaPoint Station

A VersaPoint I/O Station begins with a Network Interface Unit (NIU). The
NIU module is the first module on the DIN rail, at the left end of the I/O
Station. It is shown here with the required grounding to the DIN rail. See
chapter 2 for more information about the Profibus-DP Network Interface
Unit. The NIU performs all the data-handling and communications functions
for the I/O Station.
The rest of the station is made up of a group of I/O modules that can be
selected to exactly fit the needs of the application.
