Function modules

A function module is a functional expansion of a drive object that can be activated
during commissioning.
Examples of function modules:
S Technology controller
S Setpoint channel for SERVO drive object
S Parallel connection of Motor Modules or Line Modules
S Extended brake control
S Linear motor
A function module generally has separate parameters and, in some cases, sepa-
rate faults and warnings too. These parameters and messages are only displayed
when the function module is active. An active function module also generally re-
quires additional processing time, which must be taken into account during configu-
ration.
