A field controller adapter includes a bracket that includes a plate having a first side and a second side with a plurality of feet extending therefrom, and a connector assembly coupled to the second side. The connector assembly includes a circuit board, a terminal block coupled to the circuit board, and a connector coupled to the circuit board with a plurality of wires. The first side is configured to facilitate coupling a field controller thereto. The connector is configured to electrically couple the field controller to the circuit board. The plurality of feet are configured to engage with mounts on a housing of a base unit to facilitate mechanically coupling the bracket thereto. The terminal block is configured to engage with a corresponding terminal block on a base circuit board disposed within the housing of the base unit to electrically couple the circuit board to the base circuit board.

A slide rail assembly includes a sliding rail and a supporting device. The supporting device includes a supporting bracket and a sliding bracket. The supporting bracket defines at least one sliding slot along an extending direction of the supporting bracket, and the sliding bracket defines at least one sliding portion corresponding to the at least one sliding slot. The sliding bracket is slidably connected to the supporting bracket through the at least one sliding portion and the at least one sliding slot, the sliding bracket is mounted to the sliding rail. The supporting device is also disclosed.

An adaptive mounting rail includes a base element with a first side and a second side, a plurality of rails disposed on the first side of the base element for mounting an electronic device, and a first adaptive mounting element disposed on the second side of the base element allowing to removably mount the mounting rail to a support mounting rail. Further, mounting assemblies including the adaptive mounting rail are described.

An electronic device includes a first circuit board and a second circuit board arranged to have their first main surfaces facing each other, and a casing containing the first and second circuit boards. The first circuit board has the first main surface having a first electronic component with a mounting height from the first main surface toward the second circuit board greater than a distance between the first and second circuit boards. The second circuit board has an opening or a cutout as a first hollow portion facing the first electronic component. The first hollow portion receives a part of the first electronic component.

The invention relates to a clamping module for securing to a support rail, which has a housing, a bracing device and at least one retaining claw arranged thereon. The at least one retaining claw can be brought into a securing position on the support rail and clamped there by means of the bracing device, in order to detachably secure the clamping module to the support rail. According to the invention, the clamping module has a signal device, comprising at least one signal element arranged in the housing, which signal element can be moved along a predetermined movement path by placing the clamping module onto a support rail. Using the position of the signal element on the movement path, it can be identified from outside the housing whether the clamping module is correctly arranged on the support rail.

An insertable fixing module of an industrial cabinet rail includes a main body, a hook, a linking slider and a press key, and the rail is installed in the industrial cabinet. The hook is installed in the linking slider. With the design of a slop pushing between the linking slider and the press key, an inverted hook portion of the hook is latched into a latching hole of a frame. In the present invention, the press key is situated on the inner side of the frame to prevent from being touched accidently. During installation, the fixing module can be inserted and fixed. During removal, the press key is pushed along the extending direction of the rail, so that the hook can be withdrawn to remove the rail. The invention improves the stability of installation and the convenience of installation and removal.

A fastening structure including a base pillar, a pair of elastic arms, and a top pillar is provided. The base pillar is assembled to an object, the elastic arms are connected between the top and the base pillars, and a gap is provided between the elastic arms. The top pillar is adapted to stretch or compress the elastic arms when an external force is exerted to reduce or expand the gap. The top pillar and the elastic arms pass through a through hole of a connector when the elastic arms are stretched to reduce the gap to make the connector contact the base pillar. After the force is removed, the gap between the elastic arms is restored to fasten the fastening structure between the elastic arms and the base pillar in a floating state. An electronic assembly and an operating method of the fastening structure are also provided.

Present embodiments include an adaptable automation control component that includes a base capable of communicatively coupling with a system bus and with a functional module that includes communication and control circuitry. The adaptable automation control component also includes a device power bus including electrical contacts that are capable of communicatively coupling the adaptable automation control component with a separate automation control component, and an activation mechanism including circuitry capable of continuing the device power bus when the activation mechanism is engaged, and capable of discontinuing the device power bus when the activation mechanism is disengaged. The adaptable automation control component facilitates functionality of the adaptable automation control component as an input/output module or a power distribution module depending on whether the activation mechanism is engaged or disengaged.

Provided is a support structure configured for the attachment of a secondary, supported standardized mounting rail such as a DIN rail in spaced-apart relationship above a primary, supporting standardized mounting rail (e.g. a DIN rail) within an industrial enclosure such as a control panel. The support structure is connected directly to the primary, supporting standardized mounting rail, and may be applied either at the time of design/installation of the panel or at a later date, thereby enabling a highly effective and valuable expansion opportunity.

An electronic module for an I/O modular system comprises a housing, a plug-in connection for the coupling to a connection of the I/O modular system, and at least one locking lever which has an actuating end arranged on the side turned away from the plug-in connection, and a locking portion. The locking lever has at least one light-conducting portion. A light source is associated with the locking lever. A light exit face is provided in the region of the actuating end of the locking lever.
