摘要： A logic controller formed by self-contained device modules plugged onto a DIN rail and onto a backplane contained in the DIN rail, the modules variously comprising a power supply, a logic control, I/O devices and gateways, each I/O device having microprocessor power, and the modules having a sliding lock movable into position adjacent DIN-rail-engaging flexible tabs to block deflection of the tabs and removal of the module from the DIN rail.

摘要： The control apparatus includes a plurality of control units. Each control unit includes a cable containing electrical conductors. Male and female connectors may be disposed at opposite end portions of the cable. An inline connector may be disposed between the male and female connectors and is connected with the electrical conductors. A sensor has terminals which are engagable with terminals in the inline conductor to connect the sensor with the electrical conductors in the cable. Upon disconnection of one sensor from the control apparatus, an electrical connection is maintained with the remaining sensors.

摘要： A monitoring system for detecting faults in an apparatus, such as a ski lift, employs a communication network onto which a sensor bus controller periodically transmits a safety message and receives a echo of each safety message. Different sensors are coupled to sensor adapter modules that in turn are connected in a series to the communication network. After the last sensor adapter module in the series, each safety message is echoed back along the communication network. Each sensor adapter module, upon receiving a safety message, increments a count in that message and transmits the resultant safety message to another module. When a sensor indicates a fault condition, the associated sensor adapter module blocks propagation of safety messages along the communication network. The sensor bus controller determines, in response to a failure to receive the echo and to the count in the echo, whether a fault occurred.
