Description

ELEKTRISCHES GERAT ELECTRIC DEVICE
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Gerät, insbesondere Labor- oder klinisch einsetzbares Gerät, mit einer Anschluß-Schnittstelle zur Verbindung mit einem Steuer- oder Regelgerät.The invention relates to an electrical device, in particular a laboratory or clinically usable device, with a connection interface for connection to a control or regulating device.
Elektrische Geräte dieser Art werden in verschiedenen Ausführungen mit unterschiedlichen Charakteristika, insbesondere in bezug auf Dinge wie Leistungs- aufnähme, Betriebstemperatur, Verbrauch, Eingangsspannung, usw., hergestellt und verwendet. Sofern derartige Geräte mit einem externen Steuer- oder Regelgerät betrieben werden, ist es in jedem Falle notwendig, die Daten des elektrischen Geräts zu ermitteln und das Steuer- oder Regelgerät entsprechend einzustellen. Als Beispiel können hier etwa Heiz- bzw. Temperiereinrichtungen ge- nannt werden, die im klinischen Bereich eingesetzt werden, wie etwa elektrisch beheizte Wärmflaschen oder Heizkissen oder auch Temperiereinrichtungen für Infusionslösungen.Electrical devices of this type are manufactured and used in different versions with different characteristics, in particular with regard to things such as power consumption, operating temperature, consumption, input voltage, etc. If such devices are operated with an external control or regulating device, it is in any case necessary to determine the data of the electrical device and to set the control or regulating device accordingly. For example, heating or temperature control devices used in the clinical field, such as electrically heated hot water bottles or heating pads or temperature control devices for infusion solutions, can be mentioned here.
Da elektrische Geräte dieser Art unterschiedliche Betriebscharakteristika auf- weisen können, ist es beim Austausch eines neuen Geräts gegen ein beschädigtes Gerät oder auch beim Übergang etwa zu einem leistungsstärkeren Gerät notwendig, das Steuer- oder Regelgerät neu einzustellen. Das ist nicht nur umständlich und zeitraubend, sondern kann auch die Einschaltung des Kundendienstes des Herstellers erforderlich machen.Since electrical devices of this type can have different operating characteristics, it is necessary to reset the control or regulating device when replacing a new device with a damaged device or when changing over to a more powerful device. Not only is this cumbersome and time-consuming, it can also require the involvement of the manufacturer's customer service.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein elektrisches Gerät der obigen Art zu schaffen, das mit einem separaten Steuer- oder Regelgerät ohne vorangehende Einstellung des Steuer- oder Regelgeräts betrieben werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating an electrical device of the above type which can be operated with a separate control or regulating device without prior adjustment of the control or regulating device.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäJ3 bei einem Gerät der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß in der Schnittstelle eine Elektronik vorgesehen ist, die die wesentlichen Daten des Geräts wie etwa Hersteller, Produktionsnummer und technische Daten speichert. Auf diese Weise wird eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, die Daten eines elektrischen oder elektronischen Geräts bereits an der am weitesten vorgelagerten Schnittstelle durch die zugehörige Steuerung abzufragen und die Steuerung entsprechend automatisch anzupassen.This object is achieved according to the invention in a device of the type mentioned at the outset in that electronics are provided in the interface which store the essential data of the device, such as manufacturer, production number and technical data. In this way, a possibility is created to query the data of an electrical or electronic device at the most upstream interface by the associated control and to automatically adapt the control accordingly.

Diese Liste ist fortsetzbar.This list can be continued.
Der Begriff des elektrischen oder elektronischen Geräts ist hier weit zu verstehen. Es kann sich dabei auch um einzelne Sensoren oder Aktoren sowie eine Kombination derartiger Teile handeln. Besonders eignet sich die Erfindung zur Anwendung bei höherwertigen Spezialgeräten, z.B. Laborgeräte, Geräte für den klinischen Gebrauch oder die häusliche Pflege oder auch alle wenigstens teilwei- se automatisierten Geräte.The term electrical or electronic device is to be understood here broadly. It can also be individual sensors or actuators and a combination of such parts. The invention is particularly suitable for use in high-quality special devices, e.g. Laboratory devices, devices for clinical use or home care or also all at least partially automated devices.
Bei vielen hochwertigen Geräten der vorliegenden Art werden bei Störungen Ersatzgeräte auf dem Versandweg vom Hersteller geliefert. Es ist daher ein wesentlicher Vorteil, wenn diese Ersatzgeräte sofort eingesetzt werden können und kei- nerlei Einstellung oder Abgleich mit dem Steuer- oder Regelgerät mehr erforderlich ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Elektronik, die die Daten des Geräts speichert, ein nur durch den Hersteller, und nicht durch den Benutzer des Geräts beschreibbarer Speicher (ROM). Die Daten bleiben, sobald die Benutzung des Geräts aufgenommen worden ist, unverändert und können dauerhaft von dem zur Steuerung des Geräts verwendeten Steuer- oder Regelgerät ausgelesen werden.In the case of many high-quality devices of this type, replacement devices are shipped by the manufacturer in the event of malfunctions. It is therefore a major advantage if these replacement devices can be used immediately and no adjustment or adjustment with the control or regulating device is required. The electronics which store the data of the device are preferably a memory (ROM) which can only be written by the manufacturer and not by the user of the device. As soon as the use of the device has been started, the data remain unchanged and can be read out permanently by the control or regulating device used to control the device.
Der Begriff des Speichers ist hier ebenfalls weit zu verstehen. Geeignet ist jede Elektronik, die die Eingabe und das Festhalten von Daten ermöglicht. Zur Verwirklichung kommen verschiedene logische Schaltungen oder analoge Systeme in Betracht.The concept of memory is also to be understood broadly here. Any electronics that allows the input and recording of data is suitable. Various logic circuits or analog systems can be used to achieve this.
Vorzugsweise befindet sich die Schnittstelle im Bereich eines Anschlußkabels des Geräts, insbesondere in einem Stecker am Ende des Kabels, der an das Steuer- oder Regelgerät angeschlossen wird. Auf diese Weise befinden sich die gespeicherten Daten unmittelbar am Eingang des Steuer- oder Regelgeräts, so daß elektromagnetische Störeinflüsse, die auf das elektrische Gerät oder dessen Anschlußkabel einwirken können, keine Rolle spielen.The interface is preferably located in the area of a connecting cable of the device, in particular in a plug at the end of the cable, which is connected to the control or regulating device. In this way, the stored data are located directly at the input of the control or regulating device, so that electromagnetic interference which can act on the electrical device or its connecting cable does not play a role.
Der Speicher befindet sich vorzugsweise auf einer Leiterkarte, die in den Stecker im Bereich zwischen dessen Kontaktstiften eingefügt ist. Der Speicher kann somit auf kürzestem Wege mit denjenigen Kontaktstiften verbunden werden, die zum Auslesen der gespeicherten Informationen dienen. Beispielsweise können vier von insgesamt zehn Stiften mit dem Speicher verbunden werden.The memory is preferably located on a circuit card which is inserted into the connector in the area between its contact pins. The memory can thus be connected in the shortest possible way to those contact pins which are used to read out the stored information. For example, four of a total of ten pins can be connected to the memory.
Im folgenden werden bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert.Preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the attached drawing.
Fig. 1 ist eine perspektivische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemä- J3en Steckers ohne rückwärtige Abdeckkappe;1 is a perspective view of a connector according to the invention without a rear cover cap;
Fig. 2 ist eine Rückansicht zu Fig. 1 in kleinerer Darstellung. Ein Stecker eines insgesamt nicht gezeigten Geräts weist ein zylindrisches Gehäuse 10 auf, aus dessen rechts in Fig. 1 liegender Frontseite insgesamt zehn Kontaktstifte 12 austreten. Die Kontaktstifte 12 erstrecken sich durch das gesamte Gehäuse und gehen auf dessen links in Fig. 1 liegenden Rückseite in An- schlußhülsen 14 über. Es handelt sich dabei um einen handelsüblichen Stekker, der hier lediglich als Beispiel dient für verschiedene, auf dem Markt verfügbare Stecker dieser Art.FIG. 2 is a rear view of FIG. 1 in a smaller representation. A plug of a device, not shown overall, has a cylindrical housing 10, from the front of which lies on the right in FIG. 1, a total of ten contact pins 12 emerge. The contact pins 12 extend through the entire housing and merge into connection sleeves 14 on the rear side thereof on the left in FIG. 1. It is a commercially available connector, which serves only as an example for various connectors of this type available on the market.
Die Kontaktstifte 12 bzw. Anschlußhülsen 14 sind, bezogen auf die Darstellung der Figuren 1 und 2, in vier übereinander liegenden waagerechten Reihen angeordnet, von denen die obere und untere Reihe zwei Kontaktstifte und die beiden mittleren Reihen je drei Kontaktstifte enthalten.The contact pins 12 or connecting sleeves 14 are, based on the representation of FIGS. 1 and 2, arranged in four superimposed horizontal rows, of which the upper and lower rows contain two contact pins and the two middle rows each contain three contact pins.
Zwischen die beiden mittleren Dreierreihen der Anschlußhülsen ist eine Leiter- karte 16 eingefügt. Auf dieser Leiterkarte 16 befindet sich u.a. ein Speicher 18 (z.B. EEPROM). Der Speicher 18 kann mit den Daten des zugehörigen, nicht dargestellten elektrischen Geräts beschrieben werden und behält diesen Speicherinhalt anschließend unverändert bei, so daß er beliebig oft ausgelesen werden kann.A circuit card 16 is inserted between the two middle rows of three of the connecting sleeves. Among other things, this circuit board 16 contains a memory 18 (e.g. EEPROM). The memory 18 can be written with the data of the associated electrical device, not shown, and then retains this memory content unchanged, so that it can be read out as often as desired.
Der Speicher 18 und einige weitere, insgesamt mit 20 bezeichnete elektronische Elemente werden mit einigen der Kontaktstifte, beispielsweise mit vier Kontaktstiften verbunden, so daß der Speicherinhalt stets über die entsprechenden Kontaktstifte abgefragt werden kann, wenn der Stecker mit einem nicht darge- stellten Steuergerät verbunden ist. Auf der Leiterkarte können Kontaktelemente angeordnet sein, die einige der Kontaktstifte 12 direkt berühren und so eine elektrische Verbindung herstellen, ohne daj3 eine Verdrahtung notwendig ist.The memory 18 and some other electronic elements, designated overall by 20, are connected to some of the contact pins, for example four contact pins, so that the memory content can always be queried via the corresponding contact pins if the plug is connected to a control device (not shown) , Contact elements can be arranged on the printed circuit board which directly touch some of the contact pins 12 and thus establish an electrical connection without the need for wiring.
Die Leiterkarte 16 kann in der gezeigten Position zwischen den Anschlußhülsen verklebt oder auch nur verklemmt werden. Wenn die zugehörigen Anschlußdrähte des elektrischen Geräts mit den Anschlußhülsen 14 verlötet sind, kann die nicht gezeigte rückwärtige Abdeckkappe des Steckers von links in Fig. 1 auf das Gehäuse 10 des Steckers aufgeschoben und in geeigneter Weise befestigt werden. Die Leiterkarte 16 ist auf diese Weise dauerhaft innerhalb des Steckers untergebracht. The circuit card 16 can be glued in the position shown between the connecting sleeves or just jammed. If the associated connecting wires of the electrical device are soldered to the connecting sleeves 14, the rear cover cap, not shown, of the plug can be pushed onto the housing 10 of the plug from the left in FIG. 1 and fastened in a suitable manner. In this way, the printed circuit board 16 is permanently accommodated within the plug.
