Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei bekannten derartigen Einrichtungen sind die Anzeige- oder Befehlseingabeeinheiten über mit Steckern versehene Kabel mit der Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung verbunden, wobei in den einzelnen Einheiten die entsprechenden elektrischen Verbindungen zwischen zwei Steckern durchgeschliffen sind.In known such devices, the display or Command input units via plugged cables with connected to the data processing device, wherein in the individual Units the appropriate electrical connections are looped through between two plugs.

Dabei ergibt sich jedoch der Nachteil, daß die Herstellung der mit Steckern versehenen Kabel einen sehr erheblichen Aufwand erfordert. Dabei müssen die einzelnen Kabel, die auch gegen mechanische Beschädigungen geschützt werden müssen, in ihrer Länge auf die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Einheiten abgestimmt werden. Dies führt dazu, daß bei einer Einrichtung mit mehreren Einheiten die Anordnung der letzteren nach deren Installation nur mehr mit einem sehr erheblichen Aufwand wieder geändert werden kann. So müssen in einem solchen Fall wieder neue Kabel mit Steckern hergestellt und die zum Schutz der Kabel vorgesehenen Kabelkanäle entsprechend geändert werden.However, there is the disadvantage that the production of with connectors provided cables a very considerable effort required. The individual cables, which are also against mechanical damage must be protected in their Length matched to the distances between the individual units will. This leads to a facility with several units the arrangement of the latter after their installation only with a very considerable effort again can be changed. So in such a case again New cables with plugs are manufactured and those to protect the cables provided cable channels are changed accordingly.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine Einrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, die sich einfach herstellen läßt und die sich auch nach deren Installation durch ein hohes Maß an Flexibilität auszeichnet.The aim of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and propose a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is easy to manufacture and can also be installed after installation characterized by a high degree of flexibility.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die bei einer Einrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 erreicht.According to the invention at a facility of the beginning mentioned type by the characterizing features of the claim 1 reached.

Durch die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen ist eine sehr geschützte Verlegung der Datenleitungen sichergestellt, wobei auch die Möglichkeit besteht, die einzelnen Einheiten an nahezu frei wählbaren Orten an der Schiene zu befestigen, wobei gleichzeitig auch der nötige Kontakt mit den Datenleitungen sichergestellt ist. Dabei ist auch eine nachträgliche Änderung der Anordnung der Einheiten jederzeit möglich. The proposed measures are very protected Installation of the data lines ensured, with the Possibility to almost free the individual units selectable locations to attach to the rail, while at the same time the necessary contact with the data lines is also ensured is. There is also a subsequent change in the arrangement of units possible at any time.

Dabei ergibt sich auch der Vorteil eines nur geringen Herstellungsaufwandes, da keine Stecker, deren einzelnen Kontakte mit den Leitern der Kabel verbunden werden und mit Isoliermaterial umgeben werden müssen, erforderlich sind.This also has the advantage of only a low manufacturing outlay, since no plugs, the individual contacts with the conductors of the cables are connected and with insulating material must be surrounded are required.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 2 ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß die als Datenleitungen dienenden Drähte zwischen zwei Messerkontakten der Einheiten geklemmt werden, wodurch sich ein sehr sicherer Kontakt mit geringem Übergangswiderstand ergibt.The features of claim 2 give the advantage that the wires serving as data lines between two knife contacts of the units are clamped, causing a very safe contact with low contact resistance results.

Die Merkmale des Anspruches 3 stellen sicher, daß die Drähte zwischen den Kontakten der Einheiten geklemmt werden und die Kontakte nicht nur mit ihren freien Stirnseiten an den Drähten anliegen.The features of claim 3 ensure that the wires between the contacts of the units and the Contacts not only with their free end faces on the wires issue.

die Merkmale des Anspruches 4 ermöglichen eine sehr weitgehenden Formstabilität des Einsatzes, wobei jedoch eine sehr hoher Freiheitsgrad der Anordnung der Einhalten an der Schiene sichergestellt bleibt.the features of claim 4 allow a very extensive Dimensional stability of the insert, however, a very high one Degree of freedom of arrangement of the observations on the rail remains ensured.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:
   Fig. 1 und 2 eine Draufsicht und einen Schnitt nach der Linie A-A in der Fing. 1 auf, bzw. durch eine mit einer Anzeigeeinheit versehene Schiene.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Show:
1 and 2 is a plan view and a section along the line AA in the fing. 1 on, or by a rail provided with a display unit.

Eine aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material hergestellte Schiene 1 weist einen im wesentlichen U-förmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei jedoch von den freien Rändern der Schenkel 2 parallel zum Steg 3 der Schiene nach außen abstehende Rippen 4, 5 angeformt sind.One made of an electrically insulating material Rail 1 has a substantially U-shaped cross section on, but parallel from the free edges of the legs 2 ribs 4, 5 projecting outwards to the web 3 of the rail are molded.

Vom Steg 3 der Schiene 1 stehen parallel zu den Schenkeln 2 und in gleicher Richtung wie diese Stützrippen 6 auf. Diese Stützrippen 6 sind im Bereich ihrer freien Stirnseiten, im Querschnitt gesehen, über ihre gesamte Breite konkav gekrümmt ausgebildet und dienen als Auflager für blanke Drähte 7, die als Datenleitungen dienen und an eine nicht dargestellte Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung angeschlossen sind.From the web 3 of the rail 1 are parallel to the legs 2 and in the same direction as these support ribs 6. This Support ribs 6 are in the area of their free end faces, in Cross section seen, concavely curved over its entire width trained and serve as a support for bare wires 7, the serve as data lines and to a data processing device, not shown are connected.

In den zwischen den Schenkeln 2 verbleibenden Raum ist ein Einsatz 8 eingesteckt, der diesen im wesentlichen ausfüllt. Dabei ist der Einsatz mit Schlitzen 9 versehen, die in einer Projektion auf den Steg 3 der Schiene 1 gesehen, zu beiden Seiten der Drähte 7 verlaufen und sich mit diesen geringfügig überlappen.There is an insert in the space remaining between the legs 2 8 inserted, which essentially fills it. Here the insert is provided with slots 9 which are in a projection seen on the web 3 of the rail 1, on both sides of the Wires 7 run and overlap them slightly.

Auf die Schiene 1 ist eine kombinierte Anzeige- und Befehlseinheit 16 aufgeklipst, wobei seitlich an die Einheit 16 angeformte federnde Halter 10 mit an deren freien Enden angeordneten und nach innen gerichteten Ansätzen 11 die seitlich abstehenden Rippen 4, 5 der Schiene 1 hintergreifen.On the rail 1 is a combined display and command unit 16 clipped on, molded onto the side of the unit 16 resilient holder 10 arranged at its free ends and inward approaches 11 the laterally protruding Reach behind ribs 4, 5 of rail 1.

Die Einheit 16 weist gegen die Schiene 1 zu abstehende Paare von Messerkontakten 12 auf, die in die Schlitze 9 des Einsatzes 8 eingreifen und nahe an den Steg 3 der Schiene 1 heranreichen. Dabei werden die als Datenleitungen dienenden blanken Drähte 7 zwischen den Messerkontakten 12 je eines Paares von Messerkontakten 12 geklemmt, wodurch sich ein sicherer elektrischer Kontakt zwischen den Drähten 7 und den Messerkontakte 12 ergibt. Die Messerkontakte 12 sind mit einer nicht dargestellten Leiterplatte verbunden, die ihrerseits mit einer Anzeige 13 und einer Tasteranordnung 14 zur Eingabe von Befehlen oder zur Quittierung von Befehlen verbunden ist. Weiters weist die Einheit 16 noch eine Betriebsanzeige 15 auf, die lediglich anzeigt, ob die Anlage in Betrieb ist.The unit 16 has pairs to protrude against the rail 1 of knife contacts 12, which in the slots 9 of the insert 8 engage and reach close to the web 3 of the rail 1. In doing so, those that serve as data lines will be bare Wires 7 between the knife contacts 12 each of a pair of Knife contacts 12 clamped, resulting in a safe electrical Contact between the wires 7 and the knife contacts 12 results. The knife contacts 12 are not with one shown circuit board connected, which in turn with a Display 13 and a button arrangement 14 for entering commands or is connected to acknowledge commands. Furthermore the unit 16 also has an operating display 15 which only indicates whether the system is in operation.

Die Einheit 16 kann, falls gewünscht, jederzeit an eine beliebige andere Stelle der Schiene versetzt werden, wodurch jederzeit Änderungen und Ergänzungen einer Anlage möglich sind. So können jederzeit weitere Einheiten montiert werden. Dazu genügt es eine solche auf die Schiene aufzusetzen.The unit 16 can, if desired, be sent to any one at any time other point of the rail can be moved, making it anytime Changes and additions to a system are possible. So additional units can be installed at any time. It is enough to put it on the rail.
