The bus coupler also features PROFIenergy support. This feature uses cut-off mechanisms to save energy when in an inactive state. The web-based management feature, which can be used for retrieving static information (such as technical data), MAC addresses and dynamic information (such as IP addresses), has been expanded.
The Axioline F station can be started up independently of the higher level network via the service interface or an Ethernet port on the bus coupler using the Startup+ software.
