Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide industrial control apparatus and monitoring methods for industrial control apparatus. The industrial control apparatus comprises: at least one input or output module, each input or output module comprising a fuse adapted to be coupled between a power supply and a user load, and a detection assembly coupled to the fuse and configured to send a detection signal after monitoring that the fuse is blown; and a processing device communicatively coupled to the detection assembly of each input or output module and configured to output information that the input or output module associated with the detection signal is blown. By the aspects of the present disclosure, it is advantageous for an operator to timely obtain information that the fuse is blown and to improve the efficiency of locating and replacing the fuse.
