Note: The internal CPX mapping cannot be changed by the configuration
tools! In addition read appendix B of the CPX-FB36 manual Note: If you want that the settings available after power off/on
then you must in the “Relation List” press “Disable BOOTP/DHCP”

• Correct data format and I/O size at Generic Ethernet Device
• Integration of all CPX start up parameters at the Controller-Tags
