Abstract
A programmable logic controller includes control units. In the programmable logic controller, the control units are installed in such a manner that side surfaces of adjacent ones of the control units have an interval therebetween. In the programmable logic controller, the control units are configured in such a manner that the interval between the side surfaces of adjacent ones of the control units can be set according to an installation environment of the programmable logic controller.
Claims6
A programmable logic controller comprising:
- control units;
- and
- a base unit to which the control units are mounted, wherein
- connectors that connect the control units to the base unit are mounted on the base unit,
- the control units are mounted to the base unit such that side surfaces of adjacent ones of the control units have an interval,
- the connectors are arranged in such a manner that the control units have the interval set according to an installation environment of the programmable logic controller, and
- the control units are electrically connected to each other and mounted horizontally on the base unit,
- wherein a distance between positions of the connectors in a direction in which the control units are arranged in parallel is larger than a width of each of the control units in the direction and is smaller than twice the width.
