Abstract: An input/output (I/O) device for a distributed modular I/O system includes a base adapted to be connected to an associated support structure. A terminal block is connected to the base and includes a plurality of wiring connections adapted to be connected to field wiring of an associated controlled system. The I/O device further includes first and second I/O modules each including a plurality of removable single-channel I/O submodules that are each releasably connected to the base and each configured for a select I/O operation for input and output of data relative to the associated controlled system. One or more pairs of the single-channel I/O submodules can be configured to be redundant within or between the first and second I/O modules. Each of the single-channel I/O submodules is operatively connected to wiring connections of the terminal block through the base. The I/O device further includes first and second network switches connected to the base. The first and second network switches are adapted to be respectively connected to first and second backplane circuits. The I/O device further includes first and second system modules connected to the base and each respectively connected to both of the first and second network switches. The first and second system modules are also each respectively operatively connected to all of the removable single-channel I/O submodules of both of the first and second I/O modules such that the first and second system modules control communication of I/O data between the first and second network switches and the single-channel I/O submodules.

Abstract: An electronics module mounting system includes a baseplate with a main wall, opposite left and right ends spaced apart from each other along an X axis, and opposite first and second spaced-apart edges extending between the left and right ends. The first and second edges are spaced apart along a Y axis. The baseplate includes a first channel that projects outwardly from the main wall and includes a mounting leg that projects outwardly from the main wall and that forms a mounting recess. A module mounting base is connected to the baseplate and includes a mounting tab located in the mounting recess. The mounting base includes a front face to receive and retain an electronics module and a rear face located opposite the front face. A channel recess is located in the rear face and extends between opposite left and right edges of the mounting base. The channel of the baseplate is located in the channel recess. The mounting base includes first and second electrical connectors that are aligned with each other and aligned with the channel recess. A fastener extends through the mounting base at a location aligned with the channel recess such that the fastener is engaged with the channel of the baseplate.

Abstract: An I/O device includes an I/O base, at least two I/O modules supported on the I/O base, and a duplex terminal block assembly supported on the I/O base. The at least two I/O modules include a first I/O module and a second I/O module coupled to the duplex terminal block assembly in parallel. The duplex terminal block assembly can include connectors for connecting to a field device. The duplex terminal block assembly can include conductive structures for coupling the connectors with each of the first and second I/O modules. The duplex terminal block can be installed in a pair of ports in an I/O base to connect two I/O modules in parallel.

Abstract: An I/O system including an I/O base having a first connector component, an I/O module selectively attachable to the I/O base and having a second connector component adapted to mate with the first connector component, and a locking actuator assembly for securing the I/O module to the I/O base. The locking actuator assembly includes an actuator supported for axial and rotational movement by the I/O module, the actuator movable from an unlocked position having a first end of the actuator extending from a housing of the I/O module to a locked position wherein a second end of the actuator extends from the housing. The second end of the actuator includes a flange adapted to pass through a corresponding slot in a surface of the I/O base such that when the actuator is rotated the at least one flange restricts withdrawal of the actuator from the slot in the I/O base.
