Cable connection- or junction-device e.g. for connecting multi-core cables to electrical equipment etc, has rib-shaped elements provided in connection body to protect against accidental contact

Abstract: A cable-connection device in which during screwing the union nut (4) on to the connection body (8) or onto the adjoining body or the connection body or the adjoining body into the union nut the contact elements contact the conductors. In the connection body (8) several ribs are provided and are arranged and designed such that the contact elements are protected against accidental contact.

Parameterizing an automation device

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for parameterizing an automation device, in which at least one control parameter is defined ( 101 ) in order to specify a control characteristic of the automation device and a device parameter is assigned ( 103 ) to the at least one control parameter in order to specify a device characteristic of the automation device.

Sensor device for contactless detection of relative movement of position of object, comprises optical radiation source, detector and evaluation unit for evaluation of measuring signals supplied by detector

Abstract: The sensor device comprises an optical radiation source (3), a detector (6) and an evaluation unit (7) for evaluation of the measuring signals supplied by the detector. A radiation (9) is directed partially to an object (1), where the detector detects the radiation reflecting directly from the object. The evaluation unit is formed to detect a recurring signal sample in the measuring signals which is supplied from the detector. An independent claim is also included for a method for contactless detection of a relative movement of the position of an object.

Modulares Bussystem zur Übertragung von Daten und/oder Energie

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein modulares Bussystem (10) zur Ubertragung von Daten und/oder Energie mit mindestens zwei nebeneinander positionierbaren Busteilnehmern (12; 14). Jeder Busteilnehmer (12, 14) weist ein Gehause (18) auf, welches mehrere Wandungen (20) umfasst. In oder an einer ersten Wandung (20a, 20b) des Gehauses (18) ist eine Antenne (22) angeordnet, die eine geometrische Flache definiert, welche zu der Flache der ersten Wandung (20a) ein Flachenverhaltnis aufweist, dass mindestens 0,5 ist. Die Busteilnehmer (12, 14) sind miteinander elektrisch gekoppelt, indem eine Antenne (22) eines jeden Busteilnehmers mit einer Antenne (24) eines anderen Busteilnehmers zur Ubertragung von Daten und/oder Energie elektromagnetisch gekoppelt ist. Die ersten Wandungen (20a) von Busteilnehmern (12, 14), die miteinander elektrisch gekoppelt sind, sind in etwa parallel zueinander angeordnet.

Cable connector in particular multi-pole cable connectors

Abstract: The invention provides a cable connector, in particular a multipolar cable connector, for connecting a multi-core stranded cable (82), with a plug part (10) comprising several contact elements (14) formed as contact bars, and a cable uptake (12), comprising a strand support element (30) for receiving the strands (70) of the multi-core stranded cable (82), whereby the strand support element (30) comprises pivotally mounted hook elements (46), which clamp and affix the strands (70) introduced into the strand support element (30) between the hook elements (46) pivoted in the direction of the strands (70) and an interior wall (48) of the strand support element (30) by means of a pivot movement in the assembled condition.
