Abstract
The innovation applies to a switch logic module (1), which can be electrically and mechanically connected to and disconnected from I/O modules (2) that are arranged next to each other, whereby the I/O modules have an electrical contact and the mechanical connection can be established using the electrical contacts. According to the innovation, a multiplex logic is provided that can be used to connect the electrical contacts of the I/O modules cyclically for a predefined switch time to an output (8) of the switch module. This provides a space-saving and cost-effective solution that can be used to cyclically switch multiple electrical signals to one output with little installation effort and great flexibility.
Claims12
Switch logic module, which can be mechanically and electrically connected to and disconnected from eight I/O modules, which are arranged next to each other, whereby the I/O modules have at least one electrical contact each and the mechanical connection can be established using the electrical contacts, which is characterized in that a multiplex logic is provided that can be used to cyclically connect the electrical contacts of the I/O modules for a predefined switch time to an output of the switch module.
