3.2 Common Item of Module
3.2.1 Mother block
Outline
The mother block, attached to each module as a set, has the structure that allows the connection with
neighboring modules and makes it possible to attach the control units to a DIN rail or wall surface,
etc.
There are three types of mother blocks which depend on the type of modules. These three types are
the blocks for single type function modules, for double type function modules and for power
supply/CPU modules (PCP modules).
As the control unit can be detached from the mother block in a one-touch operation, modules can be
easily changed in increasing the number of modules or in replacing equipment at maintenance etc.
