Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic controller includes a housing. The housing has an opening configured such that a radio module is removably insertable into the housing, and a cover and plug are also insertable into the housing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic controller, comprising: a housing including a side having an opening, said housing including a metallic section formed from a metallic material and a permeable section formed from a radio wave permeable material, the permeable section defining an installation space in communication with said opening; control electronics positioned in the metallic section of the housing; wherein the opening is configured such that a radio module is insertable through the opening into said installation space so as to form an electrical connection with the control electronics positioned in the metallic section of the housing; one or more contact surfaces configured and arranged such that the one or more contact surfaces are contactable with the radio module via the opening; and a contact plate that includes the one or more contact surfaces, wherein the one or more contact surfaces are flat. 2. The electronic controller of claim 1 , wherein the electronic controller is configured such that the radio module, when inserted into the opening, is removable via the opening. 3. The electronic controller of claim 1 , further comprising: a cover configured to form a tight closure of the opening. 4. The electronic controller of claim 3 , wherein the cover is further configured to secure the radio module in the opening when the radio module is inserted into the opening. 5. The electronic controller of claim 4 , wherein the cover includes: a substantially circular or rounded section configured such that the radio module is insertable in the section; and an oblong section having a substantially rectangular outer contour. 6. The electronic controller of claim 1 , further comprising: a plug configured so as to be insertable into the opening, and further configured to form the electrical connection via a cable. 7. An electronic controller, comprising: a housing including a side having an opening, said housing including a metallic section formed from a metallic material and a permeable section formed from a radio wave permeable material, the permeable section defining an installation space in communication with said opening; and control electronics positioned in the metallic section of the housing; wherein the opening is configured such that a radio module is insertable through the opening into said installation space so as to form an electrical connection with the control electronics positioned in the metallic section of the housing, and wherein the electronic controller is configured to actuate a hydraulic valve.
