    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an I/O station for signalling between a network and a plurality of field devices in an automation system. The I/O station comprises an I/O network interface, and a plurality of I/O modules, each providing one or more I/O channels connecting respective one or more field device(s) of the plurality of field devices, whereby each of the field devices is communicatively connected to the network via the I/O module and the network interface. At least one of the I/O modules is an APL I/O module connecting APL field device(s) of the plurality of field devices, and at least one of the I/O modules is a non-APL I/O module connecting non-APL field device(s) of the plurality of field devices. The I/O station is configured for tunnelling data between at least one of the I/O modules and the network.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide industrial control apparatus and monitoring methods for industrial control apparatus. The industrial control apparatus comprises: at least one input or output module, each input or output module comprising a fuse adapted to be coupled between a power supply and a user load, and a detection assembly coupled to the fuse and configured to send a detection signal after monitoring that the fuse is blown; and a processing device communicatively coupled to the detection assembly of each input or output module and configured to output information that the input or output module associated with the detection signal is blown. By the aspects of the present disclosure, it is advantageous for an operator to timely obtain information that the fuse is blown and to improve the efficiency of locating and replacing the fuse.
