Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Gerät mit einem Bedienelement, welches in einer ersten Betriebsart eine Aktivierung einer dem Bedienelement zugeordneten Funktion ermöglicht und welches in einer zweiten Betriebsart die Aktivierung der dem Bedienelement zugeordneten Funktion nicht ermöglicht.The invention relates to an electrical device with a control element, which enables activation of a function assigned to the operating element in a first operating mode and which does not enable activation of the function associated with the operating element in a second operating mode.
Ein derartiges elektrisches Gerät ist aus dem Siemens-Katalog ST 80 News, Ausgabe 2007 bekannt. Ein so genanntes Mobile Panel 277 weist ein Bedienelement in Form eines STOP-Tasters auf, der gut sichtbar am Panel angeordnet ist und nur dann aktiviert bzw. betriebsbereit ist, falls das Panel im Bereich einer gesicherten Funkreichweite einer Maschine und mit dieser kommunikativ verbunden ist. Ansonsten ist dieser STOP-Taster nicht betriebsbereit, was bedeutet, dass eine Betätigung des Tasters durch einen Bediener ohne Bedeutung ist und keine Reaktion ausgelöst wird. Ein derart nicht aktivierter bzw. nicht betriebsbereiter Taster ist für einen Bediener insbesondere dann hinderlich, falls dieser nicht erkennt, dass der Taster nicht betriebsbereit ist; denn es kann vorkommen, dass eine Bedienung einer Maschine oder ein Eingriff in einen zu steuernden technischen Prozess aufgrund von Störungen erforderlich ist und der nicht betriebsbereite Taster vergeblich betätigt wird.Such an electrical device is known from the Siemens catalog ST 80 News, 2007 edition. A so-called Mobile Panel 277 has an operating element in the form of a STOP button, which is arranged clearly visible on the panel and is only activated or ready for operation if the panel is communicatively connected to a secure radio range of a machine. Otherwise, this STOP button is not ready for operation, which means that pressing the button by an operator is irrelevant and no reaction is triggered. Such a non-activated or not operable button is particularly hindering for an operator if it does not recognize that the button is not ready for use; because it may happen that an operation of a machine or an intervention in a technical process to be controlled due to disturbances is required and the non-operational button is operated in vain.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein elektrisches Gerät der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welches die Betätigung eines nicht betriebsbereiten Bedienelementes weitgehend vermeidet.The present invention has for its object to provide an electrical device of the type mentioned, which largely avoids the operation of a non-operational control element.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das elektrische Gerät mit einer Einrichtung versehen ist, die das Bedienelement in der zweiten Betriebsart in eine Ausnehmung im Gerät verschiebt.This object is achieved in that the electrical device is provided with a device which shifts the operating element in the second mode in a recess in the device.
Vorteilhaft ist, dass durch die automatische Verschiebung des Bedienelementes in die Ausnehmung des Gerätes einem Bediener angezeigt wird, dass das Bedienelement nicht für eine Bedienung zur Verfügung steht bzw. das Bedienelement für eine Eingabe nicht bereit ist. Die Einsatzbereitschaft des Bedienelementes ist ersichtlich; eine vergebliche Bedienung ist dadurch weitgehend ausgeschlossen.It is advantageous that an operator is displayed by the automatic displacement of the operating element in the recess of the device that the operating element is not available for an operation or the control element for an input is not ready. The operational readiness of the operating element can be seen; a futile operation is thereby largely excluded.
In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Einrichtung eine Abdeckplatte aufweist, welche in der zweiten Betriebsart das Bedienelement abdeckt. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass ein nicht betriebsbereites Bedienelement für einen Bediener nicht zugänglich ist.In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the device has a cover plate, which covers the operating element in the second operating mode. This ensures that an inoperable control element is not accessible to an operator.
Anhand der Zeichnung, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung veranschaulicht ist, werden im Folgenden die Erfindung, deren Ausgestaltungen sowie Vorteile näher erläutert.Reference to the drawing, in which an embodiment of the invention is illustrated, the invention, the embodiments and advantages are explained in more detail below.
Es zeigen:

- ein elektrisches Gerät in einer Vorderansicht und
Figur 2 bis 4- ein Bedienelement eines elektrischen Gerätes.

- an electrical appliance in a front view and
- FIGS. 2 to 4
- an operating element of an electrical device.
In
Es ist selbstverständlich möglich, dem Taster 4 beliebige Funktionen zuzuordnen. Beispielsweise kann dem Taster 4 neben der Funktion "Maschine ausschalten" auch die Funktion "Maschine einschalten" zugeordnet werden. Mittels eines auf dem mobilen Bedien- und Beobachtungsgerät 1 ablaufenden Bedienprogramms und aufgrund der zwischen dem Bedien- und Beobachtungsgerät 1 und der Maschine ausgetauschten Kommunikationsdaten kennt das Bedien- und Beobachtungsgerät 1 den aktuellen Zustand der Maschine. Das bedeutet, das Bedien- und Beobachtungsgerät 1 "weiß", ob die Maschine ein- oder ausgeschaltet ist, und ordnet entsprechend diesem Wissen dem Taster 4 die entsprechende aktuelle Funktion "Maschine ausschalten" oder "Maschine einschalten" zu.It is of course possible to assign the button 4 any functions. For example, next to the function "switch off the machine", the button 4 can also be assigned the function "switch on the machine". By means of a run on the mobile control and monitoring device 1 operating program and because of the exchanged between the operating and monitoring device 1 and the machine communication data, the operating and monitoring device 1 knows the current state of the machine. This means that the operating and monitoring device 1 "knows" whether the machine is switched on or off, and according to this knowledge assigns the button 4 the corresponding current function "switch off the machine" or "switch on the machine".
Um weitgehend zu verhindern, dass ein Bediener den Taster 4 betätigt, obwohl dieser nicht betriebsbereit ist, und der Bediener die dem Taster 4 zugeordnete Funktion "Maschine ausschalten" nicht ausführen kann, ist vorgesehen, diesem den nicht betriebsbereiten Taster 4 anzuzeigen, indem der Taster 4 automatisch in eine Ausnehmung des Bedien- und Beobachtungsgeräts 1 verschoben wird. Der Bediener erkennt dadurch, dass der Taster 4 nicht für eine Bedienung zur Verfügung steht bzw. für eine Eingabe nicht bereit ist.In order to largely prevent an operator from pressing the button 4, although this is not ready, and the operator can not perform the function "switch off machine" associated with the button 4, it is provided to indicate this the non-operational button 4 by the button 4 is automatically moved into a recess of the operating and monitoring device 1. The operator recognizes that the pushbutton 4 is not available for operation or is not ready for input.
Im Folgenden wird auf
Um sicherzustellen, dass der nicht betriebsbereite Taster für einen Bediener nicht zugänglich ist, ist eine hier nicht dargestellte Abdeckung vorgesehen, welche den Taster abdeckt, wobei die Auswerteeinheit 5 einen geeigneten Antrieb ansteuert, um die Abdeckung über den Taster zu schieben.To ensure that the non-operational button is not accessible to an operator, a cover, not shown here is provided, which covers the button, the
