AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for replacing programmable controllers (PLCs) require individual wiring conversion adapters for each module, leading to increased development and component costs, as well as increased printed wiring board size and complexity, due to the need for custom designs and circuit switching components.
A wiring conversion adapter comprising a first printed wiring board, a second printed wiring board, and an inter-printed wiring board connector, where the connector's mounting position is varied to switch between multiple wiring patterns without adding circuit switching components, allowing reuse of existing wiring groups by separating common and unique wiring portions on both boards.
Enables multiple wiring patterns to be accommodated while suppressing the increase in printed wiring board size and component count, reducing costs and complexity by allowing the same pair of printed wiring boards to be used across different modules with varying wiring patterns.
