Abstract
A programmable controller includes forward switching units and backward switching units. The forward switching units electrically disconnect forward communication wirings if a module is mounted on a slot connector, and electrically short-circuits the forward communication wirings if no module is mounted on the slot connector. The backward switching units electrically disconnect backward communication wirings if the module is mounted on the slot connector, and electrically short-circuits the backward communication wirings if no module is mounted on the slot connector.
