Further, according to the control device 200 of the present embodiment, by removing a plurality of spacers (horizontals) 8, the size of the vertical partial spaces 1-3 can be changed to form functional blocks of various shapes, so that the size of the substrate and the freedom of component construction are achieved. Increased.

12A and 12B show an example in which the partition (horizontal) 8-1 is removed, and the size of the longitudinal partial space 1-31' is set to twice the longitudinal partial space 1-31, and after the change of size In the longitudinal part of the space 1-31', a function block 6-1' with a vertical dimension of 2 times is installed. 6-5'. Fig. 12A shows a state before the function blocks 6-1' and 6-5' are mounted to the longitudinal partial space 1-31', and Fig. 12B shows a state in which the functional blocks 6-1' and 6-5' are mounted to the vertical space. State after 1-31'.

13A and 13B show an example in which the spacer (horizontal) 8-1 is removed, and the size of the longitudinal partial space 1-31' is set to twice the longitudinal partial space 1-31, and after the size is changed, In the longitudinal partial space 1-31', a function block 6-1" having a longitudinal dimension of 2 times and a lateral dimension of 2 times is installed. Fig. 13A shows that the function block 6-1" is mounted to a vertical partial space. In the state before 1-31', FIG. 13B shows a state after the function block 6-1" is attached to the partial space 1-31' in the vertical direction. As an example of such a configuration, it is considered to be set on the functional block sub-board 6A. Higher parts like this.

Further, in the above embodiment, the main unit 3 which can fill the width in the longitudinal direction is attached to the lateral partial space 1-1, but the horizontal partial space 1-1 may be divided into the vertical partial space. And installing a main unit or a function block whose longitudinal size is reduced in the divided vertical partial space.

Further, in the above embodiment, the functional block 6 is mounted in all of the longitudinal partial spaces 1-31 to 1-34, but it is not necessary to mount the functional block 6 in all of the longitudinal partial spaces 1-31 to 1-34. In other words, the functional block may be installed in at least one of the partial space 1-31 to 1-34 in the vertical direction, and the remaining one may be an empty groove.

Further, in the above embodiment, the partition plate (longitudinal) 7 is one block, but the partition plate (longitudinal) 7 may be further provided to increase the lateral portion space. Further, in the above embodiment, the partition plate (horizontal) 8 is three. However, the partition plate (horizontal) 8 may be further provided to increase the vertical space. Further, the partition (horizontal) 8 does not have to be a plurality of pieces, and may be one piece.

Further, in the above embodiment, the function block 6 is set to be a function block sub-base. The board 6A, the terminal board unit 6B, and the connector 6C are configured. For example, a display unit made of an LED (Light Emitting Diode) or the like may be provided instead of the terminal board in the terminal board unit 6B.
