1. A rack apparatus for module attachment/detachment in a modular control and monitoring system, comprising:
an individual functional module receiver configured such that individual functional modules of the modular control and monitoring system are horizontally attached to the individual functional module receiver or detached from the individual functional module receiver at an upper side of a front surface of the modular control and monitoring system, the individual functional module receiver being formed with lower openings configured to allow connection slots formed at lower portions of the individual functional modules to be downwardly exposed, respectively;
a terminal block module receiver configured such that terminal block modules for the individual functional modules of the modular control and monitoring system are horizontally attached to the terminal block module receiver or detached from the terminal block module receiver at a lower side of the front surface of the modular control and monitoring system, the terminal block module receiver being formed with upper openings configured to allow connection pins formed at upper portions of the terminal block modules to be upwardly exposed, respectively; and
a vertical attachment/detachment guide unit configured to guide the connection pins formed at respective upper portions of the terminal block modules received in the terminal block module receiver to be vertically attached to or detached from the connection slots formed at respective lower portions of the individual functional modules received in the individual functional module receiver, respectively,
wherein the vertical attachment/detachment guide unit comprises:
a vertical connection driver coupled to the lower portion of one of the terminal block modules and configured to upwardly move the terminal block module such that the connection pin formed at the upper portion of the terminal block module is coupled to the connection slot formed at one of the individual functional modules, for connection therebetween; and
a vertical disconnection driver coupled to the upper portion of the terminal block module and configured to downwardly move the terminal block module such that the connection pin formed at the upper portion of the terminal block module is separated from the connection slot formed at the lower portion of the individual functional module coupled to the connection pin, for disconnection therebetween.
