Tool identification using profinet

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for activating an automation station in the automation apparatus of an industrial application. The invention provides a method for activating an automation station (200, 300, 400) in the automation apparatus (100) of an industrial application, in which the automation station comprises a number of Profinet-compatible devices (501,..., 507) for each of which a unique symbolic name is predefined in advance for the purpose of identification, and wherein the automation station which has been connected to the automation apparatus for operation is identified using the symbolic names of the Profinet-compatible devices, and the Profinet-compatible devices are driven by the automation apparatus, after the automation station has been connected, in functional dependence on the automation station which has been identified.

Method and system for transmitting cyclically and acyclically data via a common transmission channel

Abstract: The method involves arranging a protocol specific cyclic transmission sequence of a transmission telegram with data of cyclic datatype to be transmitted. The data of the cyclic datatype transmitted with the telegram is tested opposite to data of the cyclic datatype provided in an upcoming telegram on a redundancy and refresh period at a position within the transmission sequence. Data of acyclic datatype is inserted into a data area that is provided for the data of cyclic datatype. An independent claim is also included for a transmission system comprising a user unit.

Elektronische Baugruppe mit interner Nahfeldkommunikation

Abstract: Ein elektronische Baugruppe (100; 100’) ist vorgesehen, welche einen ersten Stromkreis (110) und einen zweiten Stromkreis (120; 130), welche galvanisch getrennt sind, aufweist. Der erste Stromkreis (110) enthalt eine erste Kommunikationseinrichtung, die zur kontaktlosen Nahfeldkommunikation ausgebildet ist und eine Antennenspule (114) aufweist. Der zweite Stromkreis (120; 130) enthalt eine zweite Kommunikationseinrichtung, die zur kontaktlosen Nahfeldkommunikation ausgebildet ist und eine Antennenspule (124; 134) aufweist. Die erste Kommunikationseinrichtung und zweite Kommunikationseinrichtung sind in einem gemeinsamen Gehause (105; 105’) und/oder an einem gemeinsamen Trager (230; 240) in einem vorbestimmten, festen Abstand zueinander derart angeordnet, dass die Antennenspulen (114; 124, 134) ein gekoppeltes Spulensystem (140; 140’) bilden. Die erste Kommunikationseinrichtung und die zweite Kommunikationseinrichtung sind ferner dazu ausgebildet sind, unter Anwendung eines NFC- oder RFID-Kommunikationsprotokolls miteinander zu kommunizieren.

Cable connection device e.g. for electrical lamp or lamp bowl, has support- and/or retention-element provided on connection body

Abstract: Cable connection device has a cable connection component (2) with an appliance connection component (3), in which with a union nut (4) associated with the cable connection component (2). A core receiving- and guide-part (5) having a number of core guide channels is provided. With screwing on of the union nut (4) onto the connection body (7) the clamping- and connection-unit contacts the conductor of the individual cores of the cable. A support- and retention-element (8) extending in an axial direction and having a radial spacing to the outer thread (6) of the connection body (7) is provided on the connection body (7).

Overvoltage protection element system

Abstract: An overvoltage protection element for diverting transient overvoltages, with two electrodes (3, 4), each of which has a current terminal (1, 2), an air-breakdown spark gap (5) between the electrodes (3, 4) and a housing (6) which holds the electrodes (3, 4). The overvoltage protection element with an air-breakdown spark gap (5), with reference to the operating voltage, the lightning surge current and network follow current carrying capacity behavior and the network follow current extinguishing behavior meets current requirements in a special way by the electrodes (3, 4) being located parallel to one another.
