A redundancy termination panel includes first and second interfaces configured to be coupled to first and second I/O modules, respectively. The redundancy termination panel also includes a third interface configured to be coupled to a field device. The redundancy termination panel further includes an I/O channel circuit associated with an I/O channel between the I/O modules and the field device. The I/O channel circuit is configured to allow an input current used for receiving data from the field device to be split such that different portions of the input current are sourced by different ones of the I/O modules. The I/O channel circuit is also configured to combine multiple currents driven by different ones of the I/O modules and provide an output current used for sending data to the field device.

A multi-conductor bus with radially arranged conductor wires on which addressable bead devices that may incorporate light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or other surface mount devices (SMDs) can be easily mounted. The radial bus is designed to provide an improved range of flexibility and motion while allowing for easy addition of bead devices along its length that can utilize self-addressing bus protocols such as cascading device protocols. The design of the flexible, interruptible radial bus facilitates the use of pass-through and interrupted paths along the bus that can simplify the installation of addressable devices along the bus such as the bus-mounted bead devices disclosed herein.

An assembly to electrically attach equipment is disclosed. The assembly may include a junction box and the equipment may include solar panels.

One embodiment relates to a connector that includes a diode. The diode has an anode and a cathode. The connector further includes a first electrical connection which connects to the anode, a second electrical connection which also connects to the anode, and a third electrical connection which connects to the cathode. Another embodiment relates to a photovoltaic laminate which includes a string of photovoltaic cells and three electrical conductors extending out of two discrete penetrations of the laminate. A first electrical conductor is connected to a first end of the string, a second electrical conductor is connected to a second end of the string, and a third electrical conductor is also connected to the second end of the string. The first and third electrical conductors extend out of the first discrete penetration, while the second electrical conductor extends out of the second discrete penetration. Other features and embodiments are also disclosed.
