Module connector for uninterrupted communication

摘要

A module connector (102) for uninterrupted communication is described. The module connector (102) comprises a slot (602) for receiving connector pins (702) of an I/O module 500. The slot (602) has at least one pair of mating pins (606) to connect with the connector pins (702) of the I/O module (500). The at least one pair of mating pins (606) is normally closed in absence of the connector pins (702) in the slot (602). Further, the at least one pair of mating pins (606) in a normally closed state moves to an open state upon receiving the connector pins (702) of the I/O module (500) in the slot (602).

1. A module connector for uninterrupted communication, the module connector comprising:
a slot for receiving at least one connector pin of an I/O module; and at least one pair of mating pins disposed in the slot, wherein the at least one pair of mating pins are normally closed, and wherein the at least one pair of mating pins moves to an open state upon receiving the at least one connector pin of the I/O module in the slot wherein the normally closed pair of mating pins complete a communication link through the module connector and the open state pair of mating pins establish a communication connection through the module connector and microprocessor of the I/O module through the at least one connector pin wherein a guiding rib on an external side surface of the module connector enables coupling of the at least one connector pin with a ground supply prior to the coupling of the at least one connector pin with a power supply.
