Description

The invention relates to a sensor device of automation and / or industrial technology that only process data in the form of processed or processed measured values and / or signals derived therefrom, in particular switching signals, its sensor wired electrically or optically to an external control device such as PLC or the like can transmit. In automated production processes, the use of sensors as information sources is a prerequisite. They send the necessary signals via positions, end positions, fill levels, or serve as pulse generators. Without reliable sensors, the best controller will not be able to control processes. In general, all these sensors or sensor devices consist of at least two components: the first registers the change of physical states (elementary sensor), the second registers the signals of the elementary sensor into electrical output signals (signal processing). A distinction generally between so-called binary sensors that switch a clear high-low signal, and so-called analog sensors, which are preferably used in metrology for temperature, distance, pressure, force, and so on. Here, the sensor outputs an analog signal, which is further evaluated for measurement and control. In the field of process measurement, it is also common for the sensor device to emit an analog and a switching output signal. Such sensor devices can be operated by the user by means of keys and / or potentiometers, ie device data, such as parameterization data, entered into the device or read out of the device visually, if it has a corresponding display, see, for. B. DE19808878B4 , On the other hand, there are addressable network-capable sensor devices such as ASi and IO-Link sensor or slave devices with at least one electronic nonvolatile memory, whose output terminals can output modulated or processed measured value data or signals derived therefrom and which are also responsible for the bidirectional communication via these connections with a control unit (IO-Link or ASi-master) are suitable. Non-process data such as device data, eg. As configuration data, on and / or read out. However, these sensor devices require a higher material and software costs, they are therefore more expensive than simple proximity switches and sensor devices. In some sensor devices of the latter type, the only process data, ie processed sensor signals data serial via a connecting cable to the controller, z. B. PLC, but can not output or read non-process data via this cable, the parameterization, z. As the setting of the switching distance, the switching threshold or hysteresis via one or more Einstellbauelemente, z. B. button possible. A disadvantage of such solutions is the very limited and very slow one- or two-sided exchange possibility of non-process data.

The object of the invention is to provide a comparatively simple electronic sensor device that can not output non-process data via a connection cable for process data to a controller, but allows the input and / or readout of non-process data in different ways.

This object is solved by the independent claims.

An inventive system of automation technology for the data serial bidirectional transmission of non-process data between a radio master 40 and a sensor device with such a printed circuit board 1 has several advantages, including that it has a fairly universal interface, which allows the transmission of even larger amounts of non-process data without a wired electro- or optomechanical interface in the non-volatile memory of the circuit board 1 . 1h allows, even if these or some of their components 12 de-energized is / are. Non-process data may be from the radio master 20 via this radio interface data serial into this non-volatile memory of the memory device 20 be read in and out. Non-process data coming from the radio master 40 in this nonvolatile memory of the memory device 20 can be read in the "Existing operating voltage" state of the IC 1m or the microcontroller 1m or the microprocessor 1m or the circuit board 1 from the bus master of the IC 1m or the microcontroller 1m or the microprocessor 1m over this wire interface of the memory device 20 wired data can be read out. Alternatively, it is also possible that non-process data sent by the IC 1m or microcontroller 1m or microprocessor 1m were read into the non-volatile memory via its internal bus system data-independent, regardless of the state "missing operating voltage" of the memory device 20 and / or the circuit board 1 , by this or another authorized radio master 40 can be read out or are read out.

• a) Produktionsdaten zuordnen: Die Seriennummern können sofort nach Bestückung der Leiterplatte bzw. Hauptleiterplatte vergeben und in das Vor-Gerät (Leiterplatte, Platine) mittels des Funkmasters 40 geschrieben werden. Die Chargeninformationen und Firmware-Stände können bei den weiteren Produktionsschritten ebenso dort abgelegt bzw. aktualisiert werden.
• b) Produktions- bzw. Herstellungsdaten-Verfolgung: Seriennummern und andere Produktdaten der bestückten und gelöteten Leiterplatte 1 sind während des gesamten Produktlebenslaufes der Leiterplatte und des Sensorgerätes mit einer derartigen Leiterplatte einfach auslesbar. Im Lager des Herstellers oder auch bei dessen Kunden sind die Daten auch durch die Verpackung hindurch erfassbar. Vor dem Versand kann bei Bedarf die Seriennummer durch die Verpackung hindurch gelesen und im Lieferschein festgehalten werden. Nach dem Einbau der Sensorgerätes 10 in eine Anlage können die Nichtprozeßdaten über das Anzeigebauelement 12e der Leiterplatte 1 und/oder des Sensorgerätes 10 einfach angezeigt und/oder über einen Funkmaster 40 ausgelesen werden.
• c) Jeder Leiterplatte bzw. jedem Sensorgerät 10 kann eine eindeutige Seriennummer, Herstellerkennung, Gerätebauart- und andere Informationen elektronisch und dauerhaft zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Hier ist die frühe Hinterlegung der Seriennummer und/oder der Typschilddaten sehr vorteilhaft.
• d) Gerätsoftware-/Firmware-Aktualisierung: Bei geringem Firmwareumfang kann die Firmware über diese Schnittstelle in das Sensorgerät übertragen werden, ohne das ein Minimalbetriebssystem oder ein Programmieradapter entwickelt werden muss. Solche Geräte könnten auch in der Verpackung auf einen neuen Firmwarestand gebracht werden.
• g) Kundenspezifische Leiterplatten 1 bzw. Sensorgeräte 10v können über die zusätzliche Daten-Schnittstelle in Form der (RFID-/NFC-)Luftschnittstelle 21 in der Produktion, oder auch kurz vor Auslieferung, durch Laden von speziellen Parameter, erzeugt werden. Die Einstellung neuer Parameter vor Ort kann ohne Trennung vom Steuergerät erfolgen.

The new, with respect to the transponder memory device 20 Two-channel interface thus enables sensor devices according to the invention 20 and systems with one or more such devices 20 following functions:

• a) Assign production data: The serial numbers can be assigned immediately after assembly of the printed circuit board or main circuit board and in the pre-device (circuit board, circuit board) by means of the wireless master 40 to be written. The batch information and firmware versions can also be stored or updated there during the further production steps.
• b) Production or production data tracking: Serial numbers and other product data of the assembled and soldered printed circuit board 1 are easily read out during the entire product life of the circuit board and the sensor device with such a circuit board. In the warehouse of the manufacturer or his customers, the data can also be detected through the packaging. Before shipment, if necessary, the serial number can be read through the packaging and recorded in the delivery note. After installation of the sensor device 10 in a plant can the non-process data on the display device 12e the circuit board 1 and / or the sensor device 10 simply displayed and / or via a radio mast 40 be read out.
• c) Each printed circuit board or sensor device 10 A unique serial number, manufacturer ID, device type and other information can be provided electronically and permanently. Here, the early deposit of the serial number and / or the nameplate data is very advantageous.
• d) Device software / firmware update: If the firmware is low, the firmware can be transferred to the sensor device via this interface without the need to develop a minimum operating system or programming adapter. Such devices could also be brought to a new firmware level in the packaging.
• g) Custom Printed Circuit Boards 1 or sensor devices 10v can via the additional data interface in the form of the (RFID / NFC) air interface 21 in production or shortly before delivery, by loading special parameters. The setting of new parameters on site can be done without disconnection from the control unit.

In summary, here again the advantages of the invention are listed:
The non-process data such as sensor device and / or printed circuit board 1 -specific data can be rewritten, overwritten or read, even if the sensor device 10 or the slave device 10v is de-energized. A check of the stock is easily and reliably possible through the packaging. The energy required to address and configure is very low, since only the memory device 20 with the RFID transponder via the transponder antenna must be powered. The mobile programming tool (RFID / NFC reader 40 ) does not need the sensor device for the duration of reading and writing data 10 supply power, whereby the accumulator of this device can support more read / write operations. The manual or mechanical attachment of the serial number (s), lot number (s) or equipment tag on the device can be eliminated because it is replaced by low cost electronic attachments that are accessible at each step of the manufacturing process and also made at an extremely early stage (after the RFID transponder has been fitted to the sensor device 10 Equipment circuit board 1 ). Therefore, a complete documentation of the production process possible by the manufacturer. The manual or mechanical attachment of equipment labels by the plant manufacturer in the installation of the system on the device can be omitted because it is replaced by an inexpensive electronic mounting. By using antennas with a short range, which also includes the RFID frequency used, the minimum achievable distance of the Tansponder antenna to the RFID reader 40 as a configuration or service device 40 as well as via the used RFID method is adjustable, the unique assignment is also in side by side mounted sensor devices 10 possible. At the defect of the sensor device 10 In most cases, diagnostic information, parameters and equipment labels can be read from the device, evaluated and used to program the replacement device. Is the capacity of the common nonvolatile memory of the memory device 20 sufficient for parts of the firmware of the device, programming without a programming adapter can be done wirelessly via RFID. An update is thus possible later without opening the device. Advantageously, multiple and permanently writable non-volatile memories are used. Integration of functionality into the processor or system memory of the sensor device 10 is possible and offers potential for cost savings with simultaneous standardization. Since the non-process data transmission due to the exact location usually. only allowed over a short distance, the antennas can build relatively small, which is favorable for integration on the ASIC 20 is.
