    Abstract: An industrial automation input/output (I/O) module includes a body defining an internal space including a plurality of slots. A module backplane connector is connected to the body, and a primary backplane interface circuit board is located in the space of the body. The primary backplane interface circuit board is electrically connected to the module backplane connector and includes electronic devices configured to transmit data and power to and from an associated backplane circuit through the module backplane connector. A plurality of individual I/O circuit boards are installed respectively in the plurality of slots of the body. Each of the I/O circuit boards includes electronic devices configured to provide a single-channel I/O circuit for input or output of data with respect to an associated field device. Each of the I/O circuit boards is electrically connected to the primary backplane interface circuit board when installed in a respective one of said slots, and each of the plurality of I/O circuit boards is selectively removable from its respective slot and from the internal space of the body for selective electrical disconnection of said I/O circuit board from the primary backplane interface circuit board.

    Abstract: An improved system for handling events in an industrial control system is disclosed. A module in an industrial controller is configured to generate an event responsive to a predefined signal or combination of signals occurring. The event is transferred to an event queue for subsequent execution. The event queue may also be configured to store a copy of the state of the module at the time the event is generated. The event queue may hold multiple events and each event is configured to trigger at least one event task. Subsequent events that occur during execution of the event task are stored in the event queue for later execution. An event, or combination of events, may trigger execution of an event task within the module, within the controller to which the module is connected, or within multiple controllers.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for aligning status indicators on a terminal block of an I/O device by locating the status indicators directly adjacent to or integrated directly within their respective terminals on the terminal block. The status indicators are illuminated by LEDs or other light emitters disposed within a housing of the I/O device. Light from the LEDs are directed to the status indicators by light pipes disposed within the housing of the I/O device. LED activation circuitry disposed within the housing determines a manner in which to activate the LEDs to illuminate the status indicators based on inputs and outputs between the I/O device and a controlled process. In certain embodiments, the status indicators are disposed on a raised section of the I/O device, which may be part of a removable LED indication assembly including the LEDs, light pipes, and LED activation circuitry.
