CONFIGURABLE CONNECTORIZED I/O SYSTEM

摘要

A system for making interconnections between an input/output module (66) and a first device (70) and a second device (70) wherein the system uses standard cables (68) and connectors (74). The input/output module (66) includes a standard first connector (74) for making connection with a standard first transmission line cable (68) for conveying signals between the module (66) and the first device (70), and at least one second connector (74), with such second connector (74) connecting to a first end of a second standard cable (68). A second end of the second standard cable (68) includes a standard cable connector (74) for making connection to a corresponding connector of the second device (70). The input/output module (66) is configured to contain programmable logic for making the required connections between the module (66) and the first and second devices (70).
