1. A modular industrial plug connector, comprising:
a retaining frame;
at least two plug-connector modules which are capable of being inserted into the retaining frame; and
a data-diode module which has been set up for communication with the at least two plug-connector modules, wherein a unidirectional transmission of data in at least one of the two plug-connector modules is set via the data-diode module by carrying out a RESPONSE BLOCKING by data being sent from the plug-connector module to an electrical device via the data-diode module, wherein data is sent back from the electrical device to the data-diode module and is blocked by the data-diode module, and/or by carrying out a CONTROL BLOCKING by data being sent from an electrical device to the data-diode module and being relayed from the data-diode module to the plug-connector module, wherein data is sent back from the plug-connector module to the data-diode module and is blocked by the data-diode module.
