1. A modular control apparatus having a head module, at least one supply module and at least one peripheral module, which are arranged next to one another on the head module, and having at least one bus structure,
wherein the at least one supply module and the at least one peripheral module have a base module part, an electronic module part and a connection module part, wherein the connection module part of the at least one supply module has a supply connection for supplying an external peripheral current, wherein the connection module part of the at least one peripheral module provides an output for connecting an actuator for outputting the peripheral current supplied to the supply module, wherein the base module parts arranged next to one another provide the bus structure that electrically couples the head module, the at least one supply module and the at least one peripheral module to one another, and wherein the supply module additionally comprises:
an electrical line, having a defined cross section, that runs from the connection module part through the electronic module part to the base module part and connects the at least one supply connection of the supply module to the bus structure,and an overload identification unit that is arranged at the electrical line and determines a parameter of the electrical line and produces a warning signal if the parameter exceeds a threshold value. |
