Claims (3)

1. Control and regulating device, in particular for heating systems, consisting of a housing, on the front surface of which actuating, display and switching elements are arranged for the electrical and electronic components located in the housing and assigned to a circuit board, the at least one opening Front surface of an operating module is arranged so that a further control module (4) equipped with microchips (3) can be arranged between the circuit board (1) and the operating module (2) and this with its cross section parallel to the circuit board level (5) at most Cross section of the opening (6) in the front surface (7) corresponds. 2. Control and regulating device according to claim 1, characterized in that the control module (4) on corresponding current path connections (8) of the circuit board (1) is designed to be pluggable. 2nd 3. Control and regulating device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the operating module (2) on corresponding connections (9) of the control module (4) is designed to be pluggable. 3 Control and regulating device »in particular for heating systems The invention relates to a control and regulating device, in particular for heating systems according to the preamble of claim 1. Such control and regulating devices are generally known and in particular also for heating systems, of which all the necessary control and Control processes can be carried out on a boiler and the associated heating system or, if necessary, can also be set depending on the time. The housings of such devices are dimensioned so that the electrical and electronic elements required for the intended regulation and control tasks can be accommodated, i.e. An expansion of the scope of such devices is generally not possible, since there is no longer enough space in the housings for this, or any available space is not easily accessible from the outside without dismantling the entire device, unless that The housing is dimensioned larger from the outset so that additional modules can be used. This in turn means that 4 devices are used for controls and regulations with limited working areas, the housing is too large and has free spaces for modules. In the case of control and regulating devices of the type mentioned at the outset, so-called operating modules are provided which, in addition to operating push buttons, also contain a timer and a small digital display window. For such control modules, a corresponding opening is provided in the front surface of these devices, into which these control modules can be inserted, there being a considerable amount of free space behind this module. The invention is therefore based on the object to improve such a control device in such a way that this space behind the control module can be used to expand the scope of such a device without having to disassemble the device. This object is achieved with a control and regulating device of the type mentioned according to the invention by the features stated in the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Advantageous further developments result from the dependent patent claims 2 and 3. * 5 This design therefore makes it possible without further ado to use a further control module after removal of the operating module through the opening in the front face that has become free, but for the limited space available The prerequisite is that it is equipped with microchips which permit a correspondingly small size of this additional control module, which is intended to expand the area of responsibility of the entire control and regulating device. The control module is advantageously designed such that it can be plugged onto corresponding current path plug-in connections on the circuit board, and the operating module is also designed to be plugged into corresponding connections of the control module. If there is no corresponding additional control module in the device, the connections of the control module to the other elements located in the device housing can easily be established in another suitable way. The arrangement opening for the operating module, which is present anyway in the front surfaces, is therefore advantageously used for the problem-free insertion of an additional control module. If there are additional front surface openings on the control and regulating unit with insertable modules and there is sufficient space behind them, such openings can of course be used in the same way in ^ 'T · 6 in order, if necessary, to further control and / or To be able to add rule blocks. The control and regulating device according to the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of a single graphical and highly schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment. As can be seen from this illustration, the control and regulating device consists of a housing 10 (only indicated by dashed lines), on the front surface 7 of which there are actuating, display and switching elements for the circuit board 1 located in the housing but not shown here in detail, electrical and electronic components are arranged, an operating module 2 being detachably arranged in the opening 6 of the front surface 7. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this operating module is shown in the pulled-out state. Between the circuit board 1 and the operating module 2, as can also be seen, a further control module 4, equipped with microchips 3, is arranged, which, with its cross section parallel to the circuit board plane 5, corresponds to the cross section of the opening 6 in the front surface 7 with a slight undersize, so that this additional control module through opening 7 #. φ ’'/ * 6 introduced and can be connected to or on corresponding strobe plug connections 8 of the circuit board 1. These current path plug connections 8 of the circuit board 1 are only indicated schematically, for example, and likewise the plug connections 8 'on the control module 4 in order to clarify the assignment of the control module 4 to the circuit board 1. The same applies to corresponding connections 9 of the control module 4 and connections 9 'of the operating module 2. This arrangement and assignment option of an additional control module 4, without having to provide special insertion slots for additional modules from the outset, given the correspondingly large housing 10, is in consideration of the necessary ones Small size of the control module 4 can only be achieved by equipping it with microchips.
