(DIN) EN IEC 81346-2 lists a table with letters for different devices: M = all mechanical movements = axis, cylinders, etc. K = converting an input signal to another output signal B = detecting and showing information Q = change of energy T = transformator, inverter S = detecting human input A = not allowed anymore That means Axis/Drives: motor: M inverter: T brake: Q Pneumatic cylinder: Moving cylinder: M Relais that is transforming the 24V signal from PLC into switching compressed air: K Valve: Q End position sensor: B   In Control plus Studio we are connecting the peripherals with objects and Control plus Studio automatically generates the item designator into the HMI. The fieldbus devices and I/O are the axis controller (T) and PLC output (K). That means the HMI shows these information. More universal regarding the norm would be a M for both in the HMI, but then you must edit the item designator of every object/unit manually. The name of the units in the application you can choose by yourself. I prefer T for axis object and K for BasMove to be consistent with the peripheral names (and to be consistent with the HMI if you use the automatical generated item designator). PS: Example project Digital Machine will be updated regarding this topic. ... View more
