  • Adapter assembly for field controller units
    Patent number: 10568228
    Abstract: A field controller adapter includes a bracket that includes a plate having a first side and a second side with a plurality of feet extending therefrom, and a connector assembly coupled to the second side. The connector assembly includes a circuit board, a terminal block coupled to the circuit board, and a connector coupled to the circuit board with a plurality of wires. The first side is configured to facilitate coupling a field controller thereto. The connector is configured to electrically couple the field controller to the circuit board. The plurality of feet are configured to engage with mounts on a housing of a base unit to facilitate mechanically coupling the bracket thereto. The terminal block is configured to engage with a corresponding terminal block on a base circuit board disposed within the housing of the base unit to electrically couple the circuit board to the base circuit board.
