Control and data transmission system, process device and method for redundant process control with decentralized redundancy

Abstract: In order to increase system availability, the invention relates to a control and data transmission system (10), comprising at least one control device (100, 200), which, in normal operation, is connected by means of a communication network (500) to at least one process device (300, 400) designed as an input and/or output device, wherein the process device (300, 400) comprises an evaluation unit (310, 410) designed to detect a failure in the control system, an emergency control program, which can be parameterized and which is stored in a memory (330, 430) of the process device (300, 400), and a runtime system (320, 420) designed to execute the emergency control program, and wherein the process device (300, 400) is designed to switch to emergency operation in response to a failure in the control system detected by the evaluation unit (310, 410), in which emergency operation the process device (300, 400) executes the emergency control program. The invention further provides a process device (300, 400) for use in such a control and data transmission system (10) and a method for redundant process control.

Zustandskontroll- oder diagnosesystem

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Zustandskontroll - oder Diagnosesystem sowie ein Verfahren zur Zustandskontrolle oder Diagnose von Geraten (12), insbesondere fur Uberspannungsschutzschutzgerate (22) sowie zum Ubertragen von Messwerten. Die zu Gerate (12) umfassen jeweils einen zu uberwachenden Funktionsbaustein (22) und eine Uberwachungs - und Ubertragungseinrichtung (28), wobei die Uberwachungs - und Ubertragungseinrichtung lediglich aus einem Resonatorschaltkreis (24) aus passiven elektrischen Bauelementen ohne Mikrochip, insbesondere ohne RFID-Transponder besteht. Die abzufragende Information liegt in der Resonanzfrequenz des Resonatorschaltkreises begrundet.

Electric connecting device i.e. plug-type connecting device, for transmitting electric power for controlling and operating servomotor, has latching device comprising latching unit arranged inclined to base surface of shielding plate

Abstract: The device (1) has a conductor connection device (3) provided at a housing (2) and for connecting a conductor (4). A shielding plate (6) is connected with the housing by a latching device (5) for shielding the conductor connection device. The latching device has latching unit arranged inclined to a base surface (7) of the plate, and side sections (11, 12) of the plate is angled from the base surface of the plate. The latching device is arranged at the side sections, and the base surface is planarly formed.

Contact unit and method for producing a contact unit

Abstract: The invention relates to a contact unit and particularly a solder pin, and a method for producing a contact unit, comprising a body having a metal core and a tin layer surrounding the metal core. The tin layer is thereby designed as a duplex layer, and comprises a radially inner layer overlay of matte tin and a radially outer layer overlay of glossy tin.
