Embodiment Construction

[0059] figure 1 Shown are a first connection module 100a and a second connection module 100b. These connection modules are input / output signal devices and / or functional devices used in automation engineering for insertion into automation devices.

[0060] In this exemplary embodiment, the first connection module 100a and the second connection module 100b are configured as sensor / actuator boxes for mechanical signal acquisition in automation equipment.

[0061]In this exemplary embodiment, the first connection module 100a has eight connectors 102, which are M12 connectors in this exemplary embodiment, and in this exemplary embodiment, each connector 102 can use A sensor or actuator is connected to the corresponding connector as a functional device. Accordingly, in the illustrated embodiment, connector 102 is a sensor / actuator connector. Furthermore, in this exemplary embodiment, the first connection module 100a also has four additional connectors 110, two of which are M12 co...

Abstract

The invention relates to a connection module, comprising a plurality of connections for functional elements and comprising a plurality of operating indicators (104). At least one of the operating indicators (104) has a display element (106), and the display element (106) has a base (200), which is disposed as a light guide and which has a light in-coupling surface (206a, 206b) and a light out-coupling surface (208).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connection module with a plurality of connectors for functional devices and with a plurality of operating indicators. Background technique [0002] The above-mentioned and other connection modules are used to realize the collection of machine-used signals in automation equipment. Furthermore, equipment and service costs can be reduced because these and other connection modules enable savings in control cabinet and conductor material, as well as simple and reliable connections using only commercially available plug-in connectors. The operation indicators on the above-mentioned and other connection modules allow a simple check of the presence of signals at the respective connectors of the connection module. However, in order to achieve this purpose, different operation indicators need to be equipped with light sources, and in order to simply and intuitively show the one-to-one correspondence between the operation indicators an...
