The movable rod of the second industrial io device 102 is controlled to protrude from the device housing of the second industrial io device 102, that is, the first connector of the second industrial io device 102 is built in the device housing of the second industrial io device 102.

The movable rod of the third industrial i/o device 103 is controlled to protrude from the device housing of the third industrial i/o device 103, i.e., the first connector of the third industrial i/o device 103 is built in the device housing of the third industrial i/o device 103.

When the second industrial io device 102 is moved to fit the first industrial io device 101 and the third industrial io device 103, the moving rod of the second industrial io device 102 is further operated such that the moving rod does not protrude out of the device housing of the second industrial io device 102, such that the first connector of the second industrial io device 102 is plugged into the second connector of the first industrial io device 101, and the moving rod of the third industrial io device 103 is further operated such that the moving rod does not protrude out of the device housing of the third industrial io device 103, such that the first connector of the third industrial io device 103 is plugged into the second connector of the second industrial io device 102, such that the control device 200, the first industrial io device 101, the second industrial io device 102, and the third industrial io device 103 are electrically connected, the first, second and third industrial i/ o devices 101, 102 and 103 can be controlled and supplied with power from the control device 200.

FIGS. 13C to 13A are diagrams illustrating a process of disassembling the second industrial IO device 102 from the first industrial IO device 101 and the second industrial IO device 103, wherein when the second industrial IO device 102 is disassembled from the first industrial IO device 101 and the second industrial IO device 103, the moving rod of the second industrial IO device 102 is operated to protrude the moving rod from the device housing of the second industrial IO device 102, the moving rod of the third industrial IO device 103 is also operated to protrude the moving rod from the device housing of the third industrial IO device 103, so that the first connector of the second industrial IO device 102 is disengaged from the second connector of the first industrial IO device 101 and the second connector of the second industrial IO device 102 is disengaged from the first connector of the third industrial IO device 103, the first connector of the second industrial i/o device 102 is built in the device housing of the second industrial i/o device 102, the first connector of the third industrial i/o device 103 is built in the device housing of the third industrial i/o device 103, the second industrial i/o device 102 and the third industrial i/o device 103 are no longer electrically connected, the second industrial i/o device 102 is movable relative to the first industrial i/o device 101 and the third industrial i/o device 103, and the second industrial i/o device 102 can be disassembled from the first industrial i/o device 101 and the third industrial i/o device 103.

In the drawings of the present invention, the first connector is illustrated as a male connector, and the second connector is illustrated as a female connector, but the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the first connector may also be a female connector, and the second connector may also be a male connector, and the first connector and the second connector may adopt RS232, USB, etc. as the embodiments of the connectors, which are only illustrated herein by way of example, and the application scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is to control whether the first connector of the industrial io device provides the connection function or not through the movement of the moving rod of the industrial io device, so as to avoid the problem of operation interruption of the industrial io device.

The technical means can solve the problem that the industrial input/output device of the existing serial interface can be drawn out at any time to cause the operation interruption of the industrial input/output device in the prior art, thereby achieving the technical effect of preventing the operation interruption of the industrial input/output device.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the description is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
