Graphical programming by derivating the process control sequence from the connection of dynamic graphical objects

Abstract: The method involves establishing a structural database, in which structural details (2100,2120) are defined. The selected structural details of assigned graphical objects are indicated on an indicating device. The graphical objects are integrated visually with one another by an indicating device for the construction of a processing device component. An independent claim is included for a system for the configuration of a control routine for controlling a real or virtual processing device component.

Component mounting track

Abstract: A mounting track for electrical components including a base that is designed to attach a track to a support surface. A wall extends from the base to a mounting rail. The rail includes a number of large tool receiving apertures located directly above mounting apertures in the base to facilitate mounting of the track to a support surface. The apertures in the wall facilitate routing wires between components on the mounting rail.

Method for allocating IP-addresses in communication networks

Abstract: To the allocation of the first and second addresses to subscriber (A .. F, 1, 2) of a communication network with at least one coupling device (2), at the port end subscriber (A .. F) are connected, to allow in a simple manner, proposed a method in which an assignment of predetermined first addresses to the coupling device (2) and its ports is stored, wherein first of the coupling means (2) detects the second addresses of devices connected to its ports end subscribers (a .. F), and thereafter, the predetermined in the stored assignment of each of the first addresses are sent to the addresses defined by the second end subscriber (A .. F) which are connected to the assigned ports.

Contact field for plug-in connectors

Abstract: The invention relates to a contact field for a plug-in connection for a twisted-pair cabling. The contact field is equipped with several metallic contacts for a connection with a twisted-pair socket, with each metallic contact having a feed line section for a connection with a circuit board. The metallic contacts are formed from contact plates, with at least two of the feed line sections being arranged offset relative to other feed line sections.

Method for operating an ethernet-capable field-bus device

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an Ethernet-capable field-bus device that can be connected to an arbitrary Ethernet-based communications unit by means of which data is transmitted using a predetermined communications protocol stack. For this purpose, a network management channel is initially established between the Ethernet-capable field-bus device ( 50 ) and a management device ( 30 ) connected to the communications network ( 20 ) using an Ethernet-based network management protocol that is installed both in the field-bus device ( 50 ) and also in the management device ( 30 ). The communications protocol stack installed in the management device ( 20 ) is then transmitted using the predetermined network management protocol from the management device ( 30 ) to the Ethernet-capable field-bus device ( 50 ), where it is stored. In this way, it is guaranteed that useful data can be transmitted using the communications protocol stack from and to the field-bus device ( 50 ) via the Ethernet-based communications network ( 20 ).
