Definitions
- the invention relates to a compressed air maintenance unit comprising several attachable to each other in any order, with module housings modules, such as pressure regulators, filters, Oiler or the like, there is one of these modules as Monitoring module designed for the other modules and electrical connected to them.
- module housings modules such as pressure regulators, filters, Oiler or the like
- An object of the present invention is to provide a Compressed air maintenance unit of the type mentioned at the beginning create, in which the individual modules in almost any Number and order can be attached to each other, without making adjustments to electrical connection lines necessary or faulty connections occur can.
- the individual modules in any desired and desired Sequence and number can be strung together.
- the bus line of the Bus system which excludes faulty connections, because all modules connected in parallel in the same way become.
- An adjustment of lines is also not necessary as the bus line from module to module can continue regardless of the order of the modules.
- a further module is connected, this becomes only connected to the direct neighboring module.
- Direct connections to the monitoring module are available at the erdassf bus system according to the invention is not required.
- everyone Extension only needs to add another piece of bus line all bus line sections are identical. On this way is faster and absolutely safer electrical Connection possible between the modules, whereby the bus line when changing the order of the Modules can remain unchanged and only one plugging is required.
- the number of modules can therefore can also be expanded as required, whereby with a new module, that was not previously planned, just reprogramming the central unit may be required.
- the modules including the Monitoring module with electrical connectors for Plug in the bus subscriber stations of all modules and connecting the central unit and bus line provided with corresponding mating connectors are equipped, the bus line in particular designed as a bus line or bus line strip is.
- the separate housings are preferably at least the bus subscriber stations with these electrical Provide plug-in devices for plugging in the bus line. This also allows the bus line to be plugged in easily attached after mechanical assembly and at any time be replaced in whole or in part. Even with one Change the mechanical order of the modules or at The bus line can be expanded by additional modules immediately made functional again by simply plugging it in again become possible without any faulty connections would.
- the separate housings are also useful with additional electrical plug devices for plug connections provided with actuators and / or sensors of the respective module.
- An even more flexible and easy adjustment with regard to changes in the order and expansion of the module arrangement is achieved in that the bus line strip trained bus line consists of individual strip elements, each of which is the connector of two adjacent modules connects each other and each plug device for receiving of two mating devices of two in a row Last elements is formed.
- the Strip elements expediently in the inserted state with one another interlocked to a mechanical and therefore also electrically to achieve a more stable arrangement.

- the electrical connection of the display and control panel 23 with the monitoring module 10 can be done in the same way.
- the monitoring module 10 and the display and Control panel 23 shown schematically. As already described, then this display and control panel 23, the can also be box-shaped, to a corresponding one Slot 64 or in a corresponding slot inserted or releasably engaged according to Figure 1. This is also the electrical connection to the central unit 40 manufactured.
- the detected Parameters are displayed and monitored in the modules. This can be done automatically or by means of the control elements 25. With the help of these controls 25 can also Limit values changed and / or directly control commands can be entered for actuators. Furthermore, in principle, too Reprogramming of the central unit 40 possible.
- the display and control panel 23 can also with the diagnostic interface 59 provided connector 65 attached become. This can also be done via a line 66 with a Locally remote connector 67 are connected to the the display and control panel 23 can be plugged on. To this Ways can monitor and operate the compressed air maintenance unit also take place from a remote location and the The compressed air maintenance unit itself has no display and operating device more. Instead of the plug 67 and the Display and control panel 23 can of course also an alternatively designed display and control unit the location remote from the compressed air maintenance unit to step.
- slot 64 can also be shaped accordingly Aperture 68 must be filled or covered.
- the interface 60 can also be in a plug-in element 69 be arranged, according to Figure 4 below to the monitoring module 10 is designed to be pluggable. Of course, too other locations are feasible.
