- the person skilled in the art recognizes that this is only an exemplary embodiment and that under certain circumstances additional and / or other elements may be advantageous in order to achieve the desired mechanical or electrical functionalities.
- the electrical module 8 consists of a housing 26 containing the Informationsauf choir 20. Viewed from the outside, in one embodiment, a portion of the information receiver 20 appears as a socket. Outside the housing 26, the information transmitter 14 is indicated, which is formed in one embodiment as a plug which fits into the socket of the information sensor 20.

- the information transmitter 14 in contact with the information sensor 20.
- the information transmitter 14 exerts a force on the contact element 24 and presses the contact element 24 and thus the Contact point 28 in the direction of the printed circuit board 21.
- the contact point 28 touches the contact pad 22.
- the information transmitter 14 therefore establishes an electrical contact, which sets the electrical module 8 in a predetermined state.
- the predetermined state may in one embodiment include one or more functionalities or the assignment of an address. In another embodiment, the predetermined state may be a combination of functionality and address.
- the contact element 24 is in one embodiment, a leaf spring made of an electrically conductive material, for. As copper, a copper alloy or spring steel.
- the leaf spring is attached to the housing 26 so that it is at rest, as in FIG. 3 shown, has no contact with the contact pad 22 and rests on a projection 30. Only the information transmitter 14 presses the leaf spring away from the projection 30 and the contact point 28 against the contact pad 22, so that an electrical contact is formed. As soon as the information transmitter 14 is removed again from the information receiver 20, the contact is interrupted and the contact element 24 assumes the resting state on the projection 30.
- the printed circuit board 21 has a plurality of contact pads 22.
- Each contact pad 22 is associated with a contact point 28 in this embodiment.

One element presses on a contact element 24, while a free position does not press on any contact element 24. Each contact point may therefore be open or closed, depending on whether the information transmitter 14 presses on a contact element 24 or not. With an example selected number of eight contact points can be z. For example, encode 127 addresses or functions, or a combination of addresses and functions. In one exemplary embodiment, the information transmitter 14 has at least two elements so that a situation in which the information transmitter 14 is inserted can be distinguished from a situation in which the information transmitter 14 is not plugged in.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate schematically an exemplary embodiment for the interaction of information transmitter 14 and information receiver 20.
- FIG. 5 shows the information transmitter 14, which is pivotable about an axis 32 and eight contact elements 24 has.
- the contact elements 24 do not touch the eight contact pads 22 on the board 21 in the idle state.
- the information transmitter 14 could have eight elements T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8 However, it does not have any elements in the locations between elements T3, T4 and T4, T5. That is, the elements T4, T6 are not present; they are therefore in FIG. 6 shown by broken lines.
- FIG. 6 is the information transmitter 14 pivoted.
- the elements T1, T2, T3, T5, T7, T8 press the corresponding contact elements 24 against the contact fields 22.
- the contact elements 24, which are not facing any elements (here T4 and T6), are not pressed against the contact pads 22.
- the electrical module 8 does not interpret incorrect addresses or functions when inserting or removing the information transmitter 14.
- element T1 first comes into contact with a contact element 24. Only then do the remaining elements come in contact with their associated contact elements 24.
- the element first closes in one embodiment T8 the circuit. This means that only when the information transmitter 14 is fully inserted does the module 8 receive power.
- the element T8 may be somewhat shorter than the other elements T1-T7. This can additionally ensure that the element T8 presses on a contact element 24 only when all other elements T1-T7 are already in their final position.
- the described electrical device 6 makes it possible to address the location of the electrical device 6 or to determine the functionality of the electrical device 6 at this location.
- the information transmitter 14 can be coded individually for each location by means of the elements T1-T8.
- Such coding may in one embodiment include a reset function by which the electrical module 8 can be placed in an initial state.
- the interaction of the information transmitter 14 and the information receiver 20 allows a mechanical locking of the electrical module 8. This results in an embodiment, a kind of main switch function, since the electric module 8 switches off automatically as soon as the information transmitter 14 is removed from the Informationsetzêt 20.
Abstract
Description
Die im folgenden beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele betreffen eine elektrische Einrichtung mit einem elektrischen Modul zur Kommunikation zwischen dem Modul und einer anderen elektrischen Einrichtung.The embodiments described below relate to an electrical device with an electrical module for communication between the module and another electrical device.
Eine solche elektrische Einrichtung kommt beispielsweise in komplexen technischen Systemen, wie z. B. Heizungs-, Lüftungs- und Klimaanlagen, Zutritts- und Feuerüberwachungssysteme oder allgemein Gebäudeautomatisationsanlagen zur Anwendung.
Die I/O Modulsysteme bilden die Schnittstellen zwischen den Feldgeräten und anderen Anlagenteilen. Sie dienen zum Umsetzen von Bussignalen einer Automationsstation in Signale für die Feldgeräte und umgekehrt. Die I/O Modulsysteme sind üblicherweise auf Installationsleisten montiert und in Schaltschränken untergebracht. Bei der Installation eines I/O Modulssystems wird zuerst ein Sockel auf die Installationsleiste montiert und dann das elektrische I/O Modul auf den Sockel befestigt und elektrisch kontaktiert.The I / O module systems form the interfaces between the field devices and other plant components. They are used to convert bus signals of an automation station into signals for the field devices and vice versa. The I / O module systems are usually mounted on installation strips and housed in control cabinets. When installing an I / O module system, first install a socket on the installation board and then attach and electrically contact the electrical I / O module to the socket.
Die Kommunikation über ein Bussystem erfordert typischerweise, dass die einzelnen Feldgeräte und I/O Module adressierbar sind. In der genannten
Bei von einem Sockel zu lösenden elektrischen Einheiten oder Modulen besteht generell die Gefahr, dass bei der Wartung oder dem Austausch von defekten elektrischen Modulen die elektrischen Module vertauscht werden. Dies kann beispielsweise dazu führen, dass ein elektrisches Modul mit einer im System bekannten Adresse nach der Wartung in einem "falschen" Sockel steckt und damit einem anderen Feldgerät zugeordnet ist. Dies kann zu einer Fehlfunktion des Systems führt. Um diese Gefahr zu beheben, beschreibt

Eine Einrichtung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art ist aus
Ein Aspekt der im folgenden beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele betrifft daher eine elektrische Einrichtung, die auf eine alternative Weise verhindert, dass nach einer Wartung oder Reparatur eine Systemfehlfunktion auftritt. Eine solche elektrische Einrichtung besteht aus einem elektrischen Modul zur Kommunikation zwischen dem elektrischen Modul und einer anderen elektrischen Einrichtung. Ein Identifikationsgeber ist vorhanden, der eine erste Stellung, in der das elektrische Modul in einem nicht operativen Zustand ist, und eine zweite Stellung hat, in der das elektrische Modul in einem operativen Zustand ist. Ein Identifikationsaufnehmer ist vorhanden, der mit dem Identifikationsgeber in der zweiten Stellung zusammen wirkt, um eine vom Identifikationsgeber definierte Information auszuwerten.One aspect of the embodiments described below, therefore, relates to an electrical device that, in an alternative manner, prevents a system malfunction from occurring after service or repair. Such an electrical device consists of an electrical module for communication between the electrical module and another electrical device. An identification transmitter is provided having a first position in which the electrical module is in a non-operative state and a second position in which the electrical module is in an operative state. An identification pick-up is provided which cooperates with the identification transmitter in the second position to evaluate an information defined by the identification transmitter.
In einem Ausführungsbeispiel hat die elektrische Einrichtung einen Sockel, der das elektrische Modul entnehmbar aufnimmt und elektrisch kontaktiert. Der Sockel enthält dabei den Identifikationsgeber.In one embodiment, the electrical device has a base that removably receives and electrically contacts the electrical module. The base contains the identification transmitter.
Die elektrische Einrichtung ermöglicht ein alternatives Adressierungskonzept. Bei bekannten Systemen wird beispielsweise einem entnehmbaren I/O Modul eine Adresse zugeteilt und im Modul gespeichert. Bei der hier beschriebenen elektrischen Einrichtung ist dagegen der Ort des fest installierten Sockels oder die Verkabelung zum Sockel adressiert, da sich der Informationsgeber am Sockel befindet. Es erfolgt demnach keine direkte Adressierung des entnehmbaren I/O Moduls. Erst wenn das Modul in den Sockel gesteckt und kontaktiert ist, ist die Adresse oder die Funktion des I/O Moduls an diesem Ort festgelegt, z. B. als Bindeglied zu einem Temperatursensor.The electrical device allows an alternative addressing concept. In known systems, for example, a removable I / O module becomes a Address allocated and stored in the module. In the case of the electrical device described here, however, the location of the permanently installed base or the wiring to the base is addressed because the information transmitter is located on the base. Accordingly, there is no direct addressing of the removable I / O module. Only when the module is plugged into the socket and contacted is the address or function of the I / O module fixed at that location, e.g. B. as a link to a temperature sensor.

Die Beschreibung der verschiedenen Ausführungsbeispiele einer elektrischen Einrichtung erfolgt im folgenden mit Bezug auf ein Gebäudeautomationssystem. Der Fachmann wird jedoch erkennen, dass die Merkmale der elektrischen Einrichtung generell in jedem System zur Anwendung kommen können, in dem der Ort der elektrischen Einrichtung innerhalb des Systems für die Funktion des Systems ausschlaggebend ist, wie z. B. bei einem Gefahrenmeldesystem für Gebäude und Anlagen, in einem elektrischen Gerät (z. B. einem Computer), oder in einer elektronischen Einrichtung eines Fahrzeugs oder Flugzeugs.The description of the various embodiments of an electrical device is given below with reference to a building automation system.

Die in der Anordnung einsetzbaren Bussysteme und Technologien sind beispielsweise LON oder LonWorks™ der Firma ECHELON, der Europäische Installationsbus EIB oder der nach deutscher Norm DIN 19245 definierte PROFIBUS. Grundsätzlich sind anstelle des Bussystems oder in Ergänzung dazu auch optische und hybride Datenkommunikationskanäle oder ein Funknetz einsetzbar, beispielsweise ein Glasfasernetz oder ein zellulares Funktelefonnetz, wie etwa GSM oder UMTS.The bus systems and technologies that can be used in the arrangement are, for example, LON or LonWorks ™ from ECHELON, the European installation bus EIB or the PROFIBUS defined according to German standard DIN 19245. In principle, it is also possible to use optical and hybrid data communication channels or a radio network instead of the bus system or in addition thereto, for example a glass fiber network or a cellular radio telephone network, such as GSM or UMTS.
Die elektrische Einrichtung 6 hat mehrere Anschlussstellen A, B für die Feldgeräte 5. Grundsätzlich ist die Anzahl der implementierten Anschlussstellen pro elektrische Einrichtung 6 in weiten Grenzen wählbar.The
Die Anschlussstellen A, B sind grundsätzlich identisch aufgebaut und universal als Eingabeport und als Ausgabeport einsetzbar, z. B. bidirektional und für analoge und digitale Signale. Die Anschlussstelle A, B kann jeweils mehrere Anschlusspunkte (z. B. 4) für das Feldgerät 5 haben. Die universelle Anschlussstelle A, B ist also für eine Vielzahl von Feldgerättypen einsetzbar und zwar für Sensoren oder Aktuatoren, also für Feldgeräte mit Analog-Eingabe, Analog-Ausgabe, Digital-Eingabe oder Digital-Ausgabe, jeweils mit oder ohne Speisung über die Anschlussstelle A oder B. Das Feldgerät 5 kann beispielsweise ein Sensor zur Erfassung einer Prozessgrösse oder ein Stellantrieb zur Beeinflussung einer Prozessgrösse sein. So können beispielsweise an die Anschlussstellen A, B ein Temperaturfühler, ein Feuchtefühler, ein Stellantrieb für eine Lüftungsklappe, ein Gas-Sensor, ein Schalter oder ein Stellglied mit Positionsrückmeldung angeschlossen sein.The connection points A, B are basically identical and can be used universally as an input port and output port, z. B. bidirectional and for analog and digital signals. The connection point A, B can each have a plurality of connection points (eg 4) for the field device 5. The universal connection point A, B can therefore be used for a large number of field device types, specifically for sensors or actuators, that is to say for field devices with analog input, analog output, digital input or digital output, with or without power supply via the connection point A. or B. The field device 5 may be, for example, a sensor for detecting a process variable or an actuator for influencing a process variable.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel der elektrischen Einrichtung 6 hat die Leiterplatte 21 mehrere Kontaktfelder 22. Jedem Kontaktfeld 22 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein Kontaktpunkt 28 zugeordnet. Die Anzahl der Kontaktfelder 22 ist demnach gleich der Anzahl der Kontaktpunkte 28. Die Anzahl der Kontaktfelder 22 und der entsprechenden Kontaktpunkte 28 ist in weiten Grenzen wählbar und auf gewünschte Funktionalität, zulässige Modulkosten und Platzbedarf abzustimmen. In einem Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Anwendung in Gebäudeautomatisationsanlagen werden typischerweise acht oder zehn Kontaktsstellen pro elektrische Einrichtung 6 verwirklicht.In one embodiment of the
Das in
In einem Ausführungsbeispiel sind spezielle Vorkehrungen getroffen, damit zum Beispiel das elektrische Modul 8 beim Einsetzen bzw. Entfernen des Informationsgebers 14 keine falsche Adressen oder Funktionen interpretiert. Beim Einsetzen, zum Beispiel, kommt das Element T1 zuerst in Kontakt mit einem Kontaktelement 24. Erst danach kommen die verbleibenden Elemente in Kontakt mit den ihnen zugeordneten Kontaktelementen 24. Um während dieser Zeit, undefinierte Zustände zu vermeiden, schliesst in einem Ausführungsbeispiel erst das Element T8 den Stromkreis. Das heisst, erst wenn der Informationsgeber 14 ganz eingeführt ist, erhält das Modul 8 Strom. Zusätzlich zur Funktion den Stromkreis zu schliessen, kann in einem Ausführungsbeispiel das Element T8 etwas kürzer sein als die anderen Elemente T1-T7. Dadurch kann zusätzlich sichergestellt werden, dass das Element T8 erst dann auf ein Kontaktelement 24 drückt, wenn alle anderen Elemente T1-T7 bereits in ihrer endgültigen Position sind.In one embodiment, special precautions are taken so that, for example, the
Die beschriebene elektrische Einrichtung 6 ermöglicht es, den Ort der elektrischen Einrichtung 6 zu adressieren oder die Funktionalität der elektrischen Einrichtung 6 an diesem Ort festzulegen. Dazu kann der Informationsgeber 14 für jeden Ort individuell mittels der Elemente T1-T8 codiert werden. Eine solche Codierung kann in einem Ausführungsbeispiel eine Reset-Funktion enthalten, durch die das elektrische Modul 8 in einen Ausgangszustand versetzt werden kann. Zusätzlich ermöglicht das Zusammenwirken des Informationsgebers 14 und des Informationsaufnehmers 20 eine mechanische Verriegelung des elektrischen Moduls 8. Dadurch ergibt sich in einem Ausführungsbeispiel eine Art Hauptschalterfunktion, da sich das elektrische Modul 8 automatisch abschaltet, sobald der Informationsgeber 14 aus dem Informationsaufnehmer 20 entfernt wird.The described
