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 become. 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.
Ein Versuch, 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, ist im DE-A-4 446 601 beschrieben.An attempt 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 it has been installed is characterized by a high degree of flexibility DE-A-4 446 601.
Durch die vorgeschlagene Einrichtung 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 facility is 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.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es sicher zu stellen, daß die Drähte zwischen den Kontakten der Einheiten geklemmt werden und die Kontakte nicht nur mit ihren freien Stirnseiten an den Drähten anliegen.The aim of the invention is to ensure that the wires between the contacts of the units and the Contacts not only with their free end faces on the wires issue.
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 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
Die Merkmale des Anspruches 3 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 3 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 Fig. 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 a plan view and a section along the line AA in Fig. 1, or by a rail provided with a display unit.

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 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
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
