Electrical assembly with modular carriers for signal processing modules
First Claim
1. An electrical automating assembly comprising:
- a support bar;
a plurality of signal processing modules;
a plurality of modular carriers removably attached to said support bar, said modules being detachably fastened to said module carries, each of said module carries being provided with a respective matching circuit;
conductive means for electrically connecting each of said module carries to adjacent module carriers, said conductive means including on each of said module carriers a respective plug connector and a respective jack connector, one of said respective plug connector and said respective jack connector being rigidly mounted to the respective module carrier and the other of said respective plug connector and said respective jack connector being connected to the matching circuit of said respective module carrier via a respective flexible line, each of said module carriers being provided with means including a pocket for holding said respective flexible line and said other of said respective plug connector and said respective jack connector in a disconnected state thereof; and
coupling means for connecting external leads to said modules.

Abstract
An automating assembly for electrical installations comprises a plurality of input and output modules each detachably fastened to a respective modular module carrier removably attached to a support bar. The module carriers each include an integrated circuit connectable to the integrated circuits of adjacent module carriers by means of rigidly mounted plug strips and cooperating jack strips connected to the integrated circuits of the module carriers via flat flexible cables. Each modular module carrier is connected to a respective terminal block for the coupling of external wires to the automating assembly. The module carriers are designed to facilitate the removal of individual module carriers for applications in which a reduced number of input and output modules is required.
