Abstract
Automation equipment includes at least one removable interface module containing processor electronics on at least one printed circuit electrically connected to an interconnect printed circuit carried by a support via respective connectors. The printed circuit is accommodated in a casing of the module fixed to the support and electrically connected to a conductive part of the latter by a frame ground connection device which has connecting members fastened to the support and to the module, whereby mutual electrical contact is established between the module and the support. The connection members include a male member and a female member adapted to cooperate plug-and-socket fashion, and the interconnect printed circuit includes an opening through which at least one of the connecting members passes when the module is mounted on the support. This connecting member is insulated from the interconnect printed circuit where it passes through the opening.
