Anschlussklemme mit Öffnungseinrichtung

Abstract: Anschlussklemme mit einem Gehause und einem daran angeordneten Strombalken, sowie mit einer Aufnahmeeinrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Leiters und mit einer Klemmeinrichtung zur Klemmung des Leiters gegen den Strombalken, um einen eingesteckten Leiter mit dem Strombalken elektrisch leitend zu verbinden. Die Betatigungseinrichtung zur Offnung der Klemmeinrichtung ist mit einer Anzeigeeinrichtung zur Anzeige eines Klemmzustandes der Klemmeinrichtung versehen und zeigt unabhangig von einer raumlichen Lage des Gehauses den Klemmzustand der Klemmeinrichtung an.

Method and communication system for determining the time of an event in an IO device

Abstract: A method and communication system that provide an inexpensive approach that enables the times of events that are detected in IO device to be determined in a higher-level controller. The higher-level controller has a system clock and is connected to an IO link device to which multiple first IO devices are able to be connected. In addition, a second IO device is connected to the IO link device. The clock of the second IO device is synchronized by a synchronization device with the system clock of the higher-level controller. The status data that are provided by at least one of the first IO devices and the current time data that the second IO device supplies are transmitted simultaneously to the IO link device. The IO link device assigns the status data received to the received current time data, then transmits these data to the higher-level controller.

Flowchart-based control system with active debugging objects

Abstract: A machine programming and control system includes a computer including a processor, memory, a display and a device associated with a process. A flowcharting module executed by the computer generates and edits a flowchart that contains action and decision blocks which define logic for operating the device to further the process. The flowcharting module allows active debugging objects to be added to the flowchart. The active debugging objects provide information relating debugging of flowchart code and/or debugging of a portion of the process that is related to the flowchart code. The active debugging object includes at least one of audio, a movie clip, a link to a website, and text demonstrating the desired operation of the process. The active debugging object includes at least one of audio, a movie clip, a link to a website, and text describing correct values for control variables at a first logical point in the flowchart.

Overvoltage protection element has housing, with two overvoltage-limiting component arranged in housing, where control rod is shifted to distance, even if slide valve is passed from position to another position

Abstract: The overvoltage protection element (1) has a housing (2), with two overvoltage-limiting component arranged in the housing, particularly two varistors or two varistor disks. Two parting agents are provided, where every parting agent has a spring-loaded slide valve made of non conductive material and a spring element. A control rod is shifted to a distance, even if a slide valve is passed from a position to another position.

Ortsgebundene anpassung einer intelligenten einheit

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft die ortsgebundene Anpassung einer intelligenten Einheit. Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Weg aufzuzeigen, mit welchem insbesondere bei netzwerkfahigen intelligenten Einheiten eine auf der jeweiligen Applikation und/oder dem jeweiligen Einbauort basierte Konfiguration und/oder Parametrierung der intelligenten Einheiten zur Gewahrleistung einer sicheren und somit einfachen Zuordnung im Wesentlichen ohne weitere Schritte gegeben ist. Erfindungsgemass ist zur Anpassung einer intelligenten Einheit vorgesehen, einer definierten Applikation und/oder einem definierten Ort eine Konfigurationseinrichtung (21, 22, 24, 25) zuzuordnen, in welchem applikations- und/oder ortsbasierte Konfigurationsdaten und/oder Verhaltensbeschreibungsdaten speicherbar sind, so dass Daten von der Konfigurationseinrichtung (21, 22, 24, 25) an eine Logik zum Verarbeiten von Daten zur Konfiguration und/oder Parametrierung der intelligenten Einheit (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) ubertragbar sind.
