ABSTRACT:
A removable adapter (24) for use with a motor control unit (14) having mass-termination connectors (28, 30, 32) is provided. The adapter (24) includes a circuit board (36) having a first side (62) and a second side (64) opposite the first side (62). The adapter (24) further includes terminal strip (38, 40, 42, 44), which may include screw terminals (64), disposed on the first side (62) of the circuit board (36) and mass-termination connectors (46, 48, 50) disposed on the second side (64) of the circuit board (36). The mass-termination connectors (46, 48, 50) of the adapter (24) are configured to directly, matingly engage the mass-termination connectors (28, 30, 32) of the control unit (14). Conduction paths (66) on the circuit board (36) extending between the terminal strips (38, 40, 42, 44) and the mass-termination connectors (46, 48, 50) allow individual wiring and control of signals input to and received from the control unit (14) through the mass-termination connectors (28, 30, 32) of the control unit (14). A mass-termination connector (52) may also be disposed on the first side (62) of the circuit board (36) to enable alternative use of individual wiring and mass-termination connection. Graphical overlays (56, 58, 60) may also be used.
