Die bei einer Kalibrierung ermittelten Plakate werden jeweils mit einer vorprogrammierten Zeit gezeigt, wobei es sich hierbei üblicherweise um einen Zeitraum von 10s für die beiden Endplakate und 7s für die dazwischen liegenden Plakate handelt. Sofern diese Plakatzeigezeiten nicht geändert werden sollen, ist keine Programmierung von Zeigezeiten nötig.The posters determined during a calibration are each shown with a preprogrammed time, this usually being a period of 10 seconds for the two end posters and 7 seconds for the posters lying between them. If these poster display times are not to be changed, no programming of display times is necessary.

Über ein Laptop oder eine Chipkarte können die Zeigezeiten vor Ort an der Zentralbaugruppe 6 geändert werden; das Setzen eines Plakats auf Standbild oder die Ausblendung eines Plakats ist ohne weiteres möglich.Via a laptop or a smart card, the times of display can be changed on site at the central module 6; the placement of a poster on a still image or the suppression of a poster is readily possible.

In addition, the central assembly 6 handles the program management, the control of campaigns and, as previously mentioned, the control of the poster lighting 14.

Dadurch, dass die Zentralbaugruppe 6 die Programmspeicherung, Überwachungs- und Steuerungsfunktionen für maximal zwölf Steuerungsbaugruppen 3 übernimmt, ist bei einer Synchronisation des Programmwechsels für die zwölf Steuerungsbaugruppen 3 bzw. Plakatwechsler, wobei jeweils zwei Plakatwechsler in einer Wechselplakatvitrine vorgesehen sein können, nur ein GSM-Modem 24 erforderlich.Due to the fact that the central module 6 undertakes the program storage, monitoring and control functions for a maximum of twelve control modules 3, only one GSM module can be used for a synchronization of the program change for the twelve control modules 3 or poster changers, whereby two poster changers can each be provided in a change-over display case. Modem 24 required.

Voraussetzung für die Synchronisation des Betriebs der zwölf Plakatwechsler bzw. sechs Wechselplakatvitrinen ist, dass in den zwei Plakatwechslern der mit der Zentralbaugruppe 6 versehenen Wechselplakatvitrine und den weiteren fünf Wechselplakatvitrinen, in denen ebenfalls jeweils zwei Plakatwechsler vorgesehen sind, die gleiche Anzahl Plakate enthalten sind. Die Synchronisation erfolgt durch Telegramme, die die Nummer des nächsten zu zeigenden Plakates und ein Startsignal enthalten.Prerequisite for the synchronization of the operation of the twelve poster changer or six billboard showcases is that contained in the two poster exchangers provided with the central assembly 6 bill wallet showcase and the other five billboard showcases, in each of which two poster changers are provided, the same number of posters are included. The synchronization takes place by telegrams containing the number of the next poster to be displayed and a start signal.

Sofern in einer nicht mit der Zentralbaugruppe 6 versehenen Wechselplakatvitrine an einem Plakatwechsler zu viele oder zu wenige Plakate vorgesehen sind, wird dieser Zustand als Fehler an die Zentralbaugruppe 6 und über das GSM-Modem 24 an die Zentrale gemeldet.If too many or too few posters are provided in a billboard display case not provided with the central module 6 on a poster changer, this status is reported as an error to the central module 6 and via the GSM modem 24 to the central office.

Wechselplakatvitrinen, die aufgrund von Fehlern oder nach einem Spannungsausfall außer Betrieb waren, warten nach einer erneuten Kalibrierung auf das Startsignal für das nächste passende Plakat. Bei einem Ausfall der Zentralbaugruppe 6 zeigen diejenigen Wechselplakatvitrinen, die lediglich mit Steuerungsbaugruppen 3 ausgerüstet sind, jeweils ihr Standardprogramm.Billboard display cases that were out of service due to errors or after a power failure wait for the next matching billboard start signal after recalibrating. In case of failure of the central assembly 6 show those billboard display cases, which only with Control modules 3 are equipped, respectively their standard program.

Mit Hilfe der als Impulsgeber - jeweils A- und B-Spur - in den Kugellagern jedes Motors 1, 2 ausgebildeten Vier-Quadranten-Drehgeber 10, 11 kann die Funktion der Plakatwechsler überwacht und der Plakatlauf sowie die Positionierung der Plakate verbessert werden. Außerdem ist hierdurch die Steuerungsbaugruppe 3 in der Lage, eine tatsächliche Drehung der Motoren 1, 2 zu erkennen, um so die Funktion der im elektronischen Drehrichtungsumkehrglied 19 vorgesehenen Umrichter unabhängig von mechanischen Verschleiß, Sommer-/Winterverhalten etc., aufrecht zu erhalten.With the help of the pulse generators - A- and B-track - in the ball bearings of each engine 1, 2 formed four-quadrant encoders 10, 11, the function of the poster changer can be monitored and the poster run and the positioning of the posters can be improved. In addition, thereby the control assembly 3 is able to detect an actual rotation of the motors 1, 2 so as to maintain the function of the envisaged in the electronic reversing device 19 inverter regardless of mechanical wear, summer / winter behavior, etc. upright.

Um eventuelle Firmware-Revisionen, Ergänzungen oder Fehler in der Software zu beseitigen, ist in der Elektronik der Zentralbaugruppe 6 und der Steuerungsbaugruppe 3 das Flash-EPROM neu zu programmieren.In order to eliminate any firmware revisions, additions or errors in the software, the Flash EPROM has to be reprogrammed in the electronics of the central module 6 and the control board 3.

Für eine gesicherte Programmierung über das GSM-Modem 24 aus der Ferne ist hier zusätzlicher Rechner- und Speicheraufwand innerhalb der Steuerungsbaugruppe 3 und der Zentralbaugruppe 6 nötig, um auch bei einer Unterbrechung des Funkkanals wieder neu anzufangen bzw. den Programmiervorgang fortsetzen zu können.For secure programming via the GSM modem 24 remotely here additional computer and memory overhead within the control module 3 and the central assembly 6 is necessary to restart even when an interruption of the radio channel or continue the programming process can.

Ohne diese Option ist eine Programmierung der Firmware nur vor Ort mit einem Laptop möglich.Without this option, firmware programming is only possible on site with a laptop.
