I believe it makes sense in the overall context to replace the term "control point" as defined on page 399 with the term "control port" as used in Table 15-A  A control function script.

Hi,
I am inquiring about the description of "Control Point" in Chapter 15.
The term "control point" used on page 396 and the term "control point" defined on page 399 appear to have different meanings.

Chapter15, Page 396

Control Interfaces                 
A control interface is a graphical or mechanical interface system that communicates with a controller to initiate command sequences. Let us consider a situation where a user would like to turn on a “Room in Use” sign outside the room by pressing a button on a touch panel. 
The “button pressed” message from the touch panel is sent to the CPU, which interprets the message as a command to turn on the sign. It then sends out the appropriate signal across a wire/cable/network to the designated control point. At the control point, the appropriate relay is closed to power the sign on. 
The control system could also be programmed to switch the sign off with a second press of the same 
touch panel button and/or to vary the appearance of the button (change color or brightness) to indicate that the sign has been activated or deactivated.

Chapter15, Page399

Control Points                
A control point, such as Figure 15-2, is the vehicle that connects devices to the control system CPU. 
For example, a touch panel would be a control interface, and the control point could be Wi-Fi, IR, UWB, RS-232, Bluetooth, or Ethernet. When the user touches a button on the touch panel, the control point communicates that information from the CPU to the device(s).
