Abstract
An input/output module of control technology configured to accommodate a front connector and read in process values comprising a field bus connection, wherein a first read/write unit configured to wirelessly transmit an individual character string into a second read/write unit is arranged in the front connector such that a unique assignment is established between the input/output module and the front connector in accordance with a connection standard.
Claims9
A method for operating an input/output module of a control technology with a front connector, wherein signal lines are attached by a plurality of connection elements arranged on a front side of the front connector in accordance with a function of the input/output module according to a connection standard, the method comprising:
- initially inserting the front connector into the input/output module;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting, by a first read/write unit arranged in the input/output module, an individual character string into a second read/write unit arranged in the front connector after initially inserting the front connector into the input/output module such that a unique assignment is established between the input/output module and the front connector in accordance with the connection standard.
An input/output module of control technology configured to accommodate a front connector and read in process values, comprising:
- a field bus connection;
- a first read/write unit configured to wirelessly transmit an individual character string into a second read/write unit arranged in the front connector such that a unique assignment is established between the input/output module and the front connector in accordance with a connection standard;
- and
- a detection device connected to the first read/write unit and configured to activate the first read/write unit to transmit the individual character string upon initial insertion of the front connector into the input/output module.
