Abstract:
An industrial safety controller comprises a non-volatile memory configured for storing an industrial control program and at least one processing unit. The industrial safety controller, which may be a safety relay, further comprises a connector configured to communicatively couple the safety controller with an expansion module. The safety controller is configured to receive an input and/or provide an output via an I/O expansion module that is coupled to the safety controller utilizing the connector. The industrial safety controller may comprise an expansion module bay and the connector may comprise a bay connector.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16  wherein the connector is a bay connector in an expansion module bay on the industrial safety controller and wherein the step of communicatively coupling the expansion module with the industrial safety controller via the connector includes inserting the expansion module into the expansion module bay on the industrial controller and operatively connecting the expansion module to the bay connector.
