Abstract: An adapter arrangement for electrically connecting an upwardly directed first contact on a horizontal printed circuit board assembly with a generally upwardly directed second contact on an electronics module mounted on the PCB assembly, including a rigid adapter housing adapted for mounting on one end of the module, which housing contains a generally vertical conductor having a lower end connected by a downwardly directed lower terminal with the PCB assembly first contact, and an upper end connected by a generally downwardly-directed upper terminal with the electronics module second contact, characterized in that the lower adapter terminal is vertical, and the upper adapter terminal is downwardly inclined by an acute angle relative to the vertical. In a second embodiment, the adapter is sectional and includes upper and lower sections. In a third embodiment, an auxiliary adapter section is connected between the upper adapter section and the electronics module.

Abstract: An operating method is provided for a functional electronics module for autonomous signal processing. The module is suitable for assembly on a mounting rail and has at least one input and/or at least one output. According to the method, a signal is received at the at least one input and the signal is autonomously processed. A signal is emitted to the output. The signal received at the input and/or emitted at the output is detected and emitted in digital form via a first interface via a communication module of the functional electronics module. A service life of a system component is determined based on the signal received at the input and/or emitted at the output. The service life may also be determined based on measured operating parameters of the functional electronics module A functional electronics module suitable for carrying out the method and a system including at least one such functional electronics module and one gateway are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement having an electrical connection module and an electronics arrangement, particularly a printed circuit board arrangement, having an adapter as the electrical connection between the electrical connection module and the electronics arrangement, particularly the printed circuit board arrangement, the adapter having at least one first connector and at least one second connector, the at least one first connector extending in an extension direction and the at least one second connector extending at a predefined angle to the extension direction.
