Abstract: A housing assembly for an electronic device, including a connection side on which at least one connection is provided, a first longitudinal side, a second longitudinal side, a first front side, and a second front side. The sides each have at least one housing wall. The housing assembly has at least two indicator lights having one luminous area. The luminous areas are arranged so as to be distributed along the housing assembly such that in an activated state, the luminous areas together emit light signals at least into a hemispherical region around the housing assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection device for a decentralized automation platform, comprising: a set of main and secondary connections for electrically connecting multiple functional modules in a connection area; one or more main connection surfaces with main connections; at least one guide surface positioned at a defined angle to the main connection surface to mechanically guide and support module assembly; a base body with a housing and a connection arrangement electrically linked to the main and/or secondary connections to interconnect the functional modules; and electrical lines within the housing to supply main energy, auxiliary energy, and data flow to operate the automation platform for controlling industrial plant devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting device (10) for an automation platform, comprising a contacting receiving element (12) which is configured to provide contacting with a contacting element (22) of a functional module (20) corresponding to the contacting receiving element (12) and to provide at least one of a main energy flow, an auxiliary energy flow and a data flow to the functional module (20) and a grounding receiving element (15) which is configured to provide grounding for the functional module.

Abstract: An electrical device with an indicator light includes a housing and a light source which is arranged in the housing and is set up to couple light into a housing wall of the housing, which propagates through the material of the housing wall to a light-decoupling part of the housing. The light emitted by the light source can exit the housing through the light-decoupling part of the housing. The indicator light is formed by at least the light-decoupling part of the housing. The light-decoupling part of the housing or a non-light-decoupling part of the housing which delimits the light-decoupling part of the housing is produced by a local mechanical, chemical and/or physical treatment of the housing. The treatment is carried out in a fully assembled state of the electrical device. Furthermore, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of manufacturing the electrical device.

Abstract: A printed circuit board assembly for a field bus device is described, comprising a housing, a printed circuit board, and at least one electronic component fastened to the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is arranged in the housing. The housing has at least one bearing surface on which a gap filler is arranged, against which the electronic component rests so that the printed circuit board is mounted in the housing via the electronic component and the gap filler. A potting compound is provided, which covers the printed circuit board and contacts the gap filler.
