Abstract: A control assembly of an automation system, having at least two row modules which are arranged in a row one after the other and have an actual order, includes a control and/or communication module and/or an I/O module, as well as a test module. The row modules are each equipped with an indicator element which can assume two distinguishable states. Further, a test method for the control assembly.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electromagnetic relay that comprises a yoke and an armature. The armature may be swivellably arranged on the yoke, have an open position and a contact position in relation to the yoke, and configured to be attracted by a magnetic field out of the open position into the contact position. The armature may include a first branch circuit having a first capacitor and a first exciter coil connected in series with the first capacitor, a second branch circuit having a second capacitor and a second exciter coil connected in series with the second capacitor, and a switch element arranged between the first branch circuit and the second branch circuit and having a first switch state and a second switch state. The first exciter coil and the second exciter coil may provide the magnetic field for attracting and retaining the armature.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electromagnetic relay module, comprising a first circuit branch comprising a first capacitor and a first relay connected in series with the first capacitor, a second circuit branch comprising a second capacitor and a second relay connected in series with the second capacitor, a switching element which is arranged between the first circuit branch and the second circuit branch and comprises a first switching state and a second switching state. In the first switching state of the switching element the first circuit branch and the second circuit branch are arranged in a parallel connection. In the second switching state of the switching element the first relay and the second relay are arranged in a series connection.
