Abstract: A terminal block unit for an input/output device of a modular process control system includes two slot elements configured to receive two redundant signal conditioning units. The terminal block unit is configured to be housed in a pair of two adjacent slot elements of a module termination unit of an input/output device. The terminal block unit provides a parallel connection of the redundant signal conditioning units to a field device.

Abstract: A field communication interface, FCI, for interfacing field equipment with a network of an industrial control system, has a network interface that is configurable to participate in the network using a network address; a location determining unit configured to determine a location identifier that uniquely identifies the physical location of the FCI within the industrial control system and/or within the network; and an address determining unit configured to determine a network address that is valid in the network from the location identifier.

Abstract: A method of providing a control software configuration for a module of a modular plant, the method including, in a module engineering phase: receiving a user definition for the module; and automatically generating the control software configuration for the module based on the user definition, the automatically generating including: specifying parameters for the module that are not specific to any target system; and providing the control software configuration as a controller-agnostic configuration file for subsequent binding of controller software instantiated according to the controller-agnostic configuration file to a hardware controller of the module when the module is integrated into a target system during a plant engineering phase.
