Electronics Modules
The electronics module is the main component of SmartStruxure devices that are based on the patented two-piece design. The electronics module is installed on a terminal base, which constitutes the second component of the device.
The electronics module has two handles, which have to be pulled out when removing the module from or inserting the module to the terminal base. In their inner position, the handles lock the module to the terminal base. This effectively prevents unintentional separation. Two plastic label carriers can carry labels that show field markings. Wiring connections are made at terminal blocks contained on the terminal base. The terminal screws are accessible without removing the module. Power for all devices is taken from the 24 VDC rails of the backplane that is part of the terminal base.
