Abstract
A a converter has a head part (1), which can be connected to an external data bus, and one or more connection modules (2), which can be connected to it by way of plug-in mounting in the form of rows. The head part (1) has a plug-in connection (3) with plug-in contacts (4) associated with an internal data bus; each connector module (2) has a counter plug-in connection (5) matching the plug-in connection (3) of the head part (1); counter plug-in contacts (6) of the counter plug-in connection (5) are connected to circuit connection contacts (7) for the connection of a circuit support (8) having an electronic circuit and to plug-in contacts (4) for the connection of the counter plug-in contacts (6) of a further connection module (2); each connection module (2) has at least one device connection (9) for the connection of an actuator or a sensor, which communicates via a bus. Facility of manufacture is provided by a plug-in connection of the connection modules (2) to one another or the connection module (2) to the head (1), and also by a watertight plug-in association of the circuit support (8).
