  • the housing parts 2, 4 is preferably with a Provide mounting groove and / or other fasteners.
  • the lower housing part 2 has a contacting device 6.
  • the contacting device 6 serves, on the one hand, to contact or couple two bus lines 8 and / or to contact the / each bus line 8 with electronics which may be located in the upper housing part 4.
  • the interface module has a guide device 10 which can be arranged in one of the two housing parts 2, 4.
  • this guide device 10 can be moved in the level of the bus line (s) 8 to be connected such that the bus line (s) 8 can be arranged or connected within the interface module by moving the guide device 10 in at least two different directions in the bus line level.
  • the guide device 10 is displaced on the one hand by a rotation about an imaginary axis of rotation X (shown in FIG. 1) and on the other hand a displacement by a spatial displacement along a longitudinal distance along an axis located in the Y-Y 'plane (only by longitudinal axes Y, Y 'indicated) conceivable.
  • the contacting device 6 and the corresponding housing part 2 with its recesses 12b, 12c must be adapted to the respective embodiment.
  • the guide device 10 and the corresponding housing part 2 and the contacting device 6 are designed such that in particular two directions of travel offset by 90 ° to one another can be realized for two connected bus lines 8.
  • the contacting device 6 preferably consists of sheet-metal strip-like line means with knife-like contact tips 11.
  • the contacting device 6 serves for contacting two-wire bus lines 8, in particular AS-i bus line (s), and consists essentially of two times two sheet metal strips, each of these strips at least has a contacting means (here, for example, terminal-like means for receiving contact pins) for the electrical connection with an electronics optionally arranged in the upper housing part 4, and at least two (here four) contact tips 11 for the electrical connection with a bus line 8.
  • the contact tips 11 that are not required (depending on the direction of the bus line) are received by cavities in the guide device 10, so that damage to the bus line 8 or undesired contacting is excluded.
  • the guide device 10 also has, in adaptation to the cross-sectional shape of the bus lines 8, at least one guide groove 12a (two shown here) for the or each bus line 8, with corresponding passage openings for the contact tips in the region of the guide groove (s) 12a in adaptation to the contact tips 11 are available.
  • the guide grooves 12a have the profile of an AS-i bus line.
  • the bus lines 8 in particular of form-coded bus lines such as AS-i bus lines, at least one of the two housing parts 2, 4 — here the lower housing part 2 — has at least four open-ended recesses 12b, 12c, which are in pairs opposite each other (shown with eight recesses 12b , 12c).
  • the guide device 10 is shown as a molded part which can preferably be rotated about the axis of rotation X by 90 ° and can be inserted into a recess 14 within the housing part 2.

  • the electronics can be either in the upper or in the lower housing part 2, 4 be arranged. In the example shown, both the contacting device and also the electronics arranged in the lower housing part 2. For this reason, are omitted here also the contacting means for the electrical connection to the upper housing part 4.
  • the upper housing part 4 is, for example, cuboid, with a square cross section formed and preferably on its side facing the lower housing part 2 two parallel guide grooves 12a.

  • the upper housing part 4 is non-positively and / or positively connected to the lower housing part 2, the two Parts 2, 4 are coded such that they are in particular in two, at an angle of 90 ° in the positions of the bus line are rotated against each other. Realized this mounting and coding is here through four mounting holes in the bottom Housing part 2, of which three of the holes have enlarged recesses for receiving have only two coding pins of the upper housing part 4. This is advantageous Execution that the upper housing part 4 then only due to the rotatability Must have recesses 12b or 12c in two opposite wall areas and no further recesses to be closed in addition with blind plates 13 for the second direction.
