Processing apparatus for controlling, measuring and regulating

A processing apparatus for controlling, measuring and/or regulating, comprising:

• an appliance for installation for output and/or input to control, measure and/or regulate processes of signaling or signal processing devices that are connectable to the appliance for installation, the appliance for installation including an intermediate housing, a unit for display and/or operation and a main board connected to the unit,
• wherein the main board has a central computer unit,
• wherein interfaces are provided in the main board to connect the main board to the signaling or signal processing devices,
• wherein the appliance for installation is modularly equipped with one or more function modules selected from a variety of function modules,
• wherein additional interfaces are provided in the main board, the additional interfaces being input interfaces for receiving and connecting the function modules, and wherein the function modules each have an interface to the signaling or signal processing devices,
• wherein the unit for display and/or operation is mounted to a front side of the main board and the interfaces to connect the main board to the signaling or signal processing devices are provided on a rear side of the main board,
• wherein the intermediate housing is formed as a tube housing, which comprises at least one cuboid interior space for housing at least one of the function modules and/or the interfaces, and
• wherein the appliance for installation has a back wall that is adapted to a shape of the intermediate housing and serves as a ground connection for all of the function modules.
