  • Input/output module
    Patent number: 9325110
    Abstract: An input/output (I/O) device for an automation control system may include a terminal base configured to physically and communicatively connect with an I/O module. The I/O module may include I/O communication circuitry and a latching mechanism that may allow the securing or releasing of the I/O module from the terminal base. The latching mechanism may include a release lever urged to a biased latched position by integral springs and a latch element with latching extensions configured to interact with the terminal base.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2016
    Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.
