Abstract

A module (1) for a sensor box for automation devices and a corresponding sensor box are provided. The module includes a containing body (3), an electronic circuit (5) housed inside the containing bodyand is designed to define a so-called master module, or a so-called slave module, one or more main electric contacts (8) emerging from a first side of the containing body, at least one passage (7) for a respective connecting cable for the connection to an outside device, and one or more openings (11), each opening arranged on a second side (10) of the containing body (3) which is opposite to saidfirst side (7). The main electric contacts and the openings are arranged in corresponding positions on the first side and on the second side, so that all the main electric contacts emerge from the first side in a position corresponding to that of at least one opening on the second side.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of industrial automation, and in particular to a sensor box module for industrial automation and a sensor box comprising a plurality of modules of the above-mentioned type. Background technique [0002] In the field of industrial automation, it is well known to use automated equipment such as grippers or robotic arms or industrial robots to carry and manipulate objects in industrial processes. [0003] These devices are usually equipped with sensors to check the correct operation of the various components or tools of the automated equipment in order to ensure the correct condition of the equipment or the correct positioning of the objects it supports before starting subsequent machining operations or handling processes. [0004] In order to connect sensors to devices of the above-mentioned type, it is possible to install at least one box for connecting sensors, also called a sensor box, which allows a series c...
