Abstract
A module is described which is slidably attachable to a controller. Resource wires are connected to the module through resource connectors, The module has a circuit board that can perform actions. The module can modify the function of its resource connectors. These modifications may be to meet the requirements of resources that are to be connected to the module. The module may be able to monitor voltage, current, or power, or check for faults on the wire. The results of such monitoring may be displayed on a screen associated with the controller.

A wiring module for a defined space controller, comprising:
- a frame;
- A circuit board disposed on the frame;
- A plurality of resource connectors mounted on the frame, the plurality of resource connectors configured to attach a corresponding resource wire;
- A plurality of module connectors mounted on the frame, the plurality of module connectors configured to operably connect the corresponding resource wire to the defined space controller;
- a mounting system configured to slidably mount the wiring module to the defined space controller;
- and
- a processor and memory disposed on the circuit board that is operationally able to provide a plurality of functions to the plurality of resource connectors.
A wiring module for a controller, comprising:
- a frame;
- A circuit board disposed on the frame;
- A resource connector mounted on the frame, the resource connector configured to attach a resource wire;
- A module connector mounted on the frame, the module connector configured to operably connect the resource wire to the controller, the resource operationally able to be controlled by the controller;
- a mounting system configured to mount the wiring module to the controller;
- and
- a processor and memory disposed on the circuit board that is operationally able to monitor resource wires for at least one of voltage, current, or power.
A wiring module for a designated space controller, comprising:
- a frame;
- A circuit board disposed on the frame;
- A resource connector mounted on the frame, the resource connector configured to attach a resource wire;
- A module connector mounted on the frame, the module connectors configured to operably connect the resource wire to the designated space controller, the resource operationally able to be controlled by the designated space controller;
- and
- a mounting system configured to slidably mount the wiring module to the controller, the mounting system comprising a back spring, a front spring, and an ejector button, wherein the back spring and the front spring are loaded by the ejector button when the ejector button is pushed into place in the designated space controller.
