Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device system with at least a device arranged in a housing, in which the Housing detachably mounted on a support.
  • Processes are usually multiple meters, e.g. Temperature, pressure, flow or level gauges, at the same time in use.
  • a measuring device usually exists from a transducer and one away from it arranged evaluation or switching device. The devices need individually connected, i. they have to be energetic be supplied, and if necessary, signal lines to the devices to and from the devices are led away.
  • the devices are placed on designated support and are e.g. through snap closures or Screw connections detachable on the respective carrier attached.

  • each groove 23 of the carrier 3 is a Groove 27 of the housing 1 assigned spatially. Two grooves 23 and 27 of a pair of grooves each border with the associated foot surface together.
  • Fig. 4 shows such a Kodierstatt 31.
  • This includes a rod 33 with a longitudinal axis and one at one end of the rod 33 integrally formed extension 35, located in a extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis.
  • Each coding pin 31 may either be in one of the first grooves Groove 23 or in a groove 27 belonging to the second grooves be fixed.
  • Fig. 3 are illustrative three Kodierstatte 31st positioned in three grooves 27 of the housing 1.
  • the coding pins 31 are inserted in the grooves 23 and 27, respectively, with the end of the rod 33 facing away from the extension 35.

  • the respective grooves 23 and 27 facing each other in FIG. 3 form a pair of grooves.
  • the dimensions are chosen so that the cavity, which is formed by the interiors of the grooves 23, 27 of a pair of grooves, is suitable for receiving exactly one coding pin 31.
  • there is insufficient space in the cavity because the extension 35 of a coding pin 31 arranged in a first groove 23 or 27 extends into the interior of the second groove 27 or 23 of the groove pair adjoining the first groove 23 or 27.
  • Each coding pin 31 has at the remote from the extension 35 End at least one protruding clamping device, in Embodiment of FIG. 3, this has the form of a protruding clamping lug 37. This is the introduction of a Coding pin 31 clamped in the groove 23 and 27 respectively.
