Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and a method for wireless networking of devices of automation technology, in particular for networking remote sensors, actuators and a central control unit.
- the communication between the control units and the sensors and actuators often has to be done in very tight, cyclically recurring time intervals to enable a continuous and trouble-free production process.
- there are increased demands on the reliability of the communication link when security-relevant data to be transmitted on which the reliability of an automated system depends. For example, many production facilities perform dangerous movements that must be stopped immediately when an operator approaches the facility. In such a case, the signal from a photocell that detects the person must be quickly transmitted to the central control unit, and the shutdown command must be the correct drive of the system within a defined and reach guaranteed time span. In contrast to home and office networks, fractions of seconds are often required.
- the known devices from Phoenix have two rod antennas, which are arranged in different positions and in different orientations (horizontal and vertical). In each case the antenna is used which finds better reception conditions.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method of the type mentioned above, which allow a cost-effective manner reliable and stable communication of networked devices under the harsh environmental conditions of a factory.
- this object is achieved by a device of the type mentioned, having a signal path for transmitting a high-frequency signal having a plurality of temporally successive signal packets, with a first and a second antenna, with an antenna switch, the Signal path selectively connects to the first or the second antenna, and with a control circuit which is adapted to generate a low-frequency switching signal for the antenna switch from the successive signal packets.
- this object is achieved by a method of the type mentioned, with the steps:
- Switching between the first and the second antenna by the antenna switch is driven periodically with the low-frequency switching signal.
- the new apparatus and method uses at least two antennas to wirelessly transmit the signals.
- the at least two antennas do not cooperate with each other in terms of a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. Rather, the two antennas are alternatively used to each other or at least in complement to each other, either to send a transmission signal or to receive a received signal.
- the two antennas are alternatively used to each other or at least in complement to each other, either to send a transmission signal or to receive a received signal.
- each networked device has at least two such antennas.
- the controllers have two such antennas and transmit and receive over each of these antennas.
- the first and second antennas operate redundantly with each other.
- only one of the at least two antennas is in operation at any time.
- the at least two antennas can not be arranged in one and the same location, they transmit and receive their signals at different positions. These different positions result in that the transmission and reception conditions for each antenna can be different. Due to the numerous reflections of a radio signal in one typical workshop with many, sometimes moving metallic objects even small spatial differences can ensure that one antenna has good transmission and reception conditions, while the other antenna has poor transmission and reception conditions. Since the new device and the new method use at least two antennas which are arranged spatially offset from one another, the probability increases that at least one of the antennas has good transmission and reception conditions. Switching between the antennas thus increases the availability and reliability of the radio link.
- a low-frequency switching signal for switching between the antennas is generated from the high-frequency signal that is transmitted and / or received via the redundant antennas.
- the term "low-frequency” is not to be understood in terms of an absolute frequency value, but refers to the fact that the switching signal has a lower signal frequency than the high-frequency radio signal that is transmitted and received via the at least two antennas.
- the low-frequency switching signal is generated from the signal packets, which has the high-frequency transmit and receive signal. Due to the cyclical communication requirements between control units and sensors / actuators of an automated system, the signal packets occur regularly within defined time intervals.
- the new device and the new method make use of the regular signal packets, in order to generate a switching signal, which is used to switch between the antennas. In preferred embodiments, the switching occurs solely in response to the successive signal packets, i. the actual transmission and reception conditions at the location of each antenna are ignored.
- the new device and the new method can be realized very inexpensively. It is particularly possible to an individual measurement of the transmission and Replace receiving conditions at the location of each antenna, because it is switched regularly in response to the signal packets. By the regular and preferably periodic switching the transmission and reception conditions are changed regularly. As a result, the new device and the new method very cost-effectively enable increased availability and reliability in the wireless networking of devices located in environments with difficult and varying transmission ratios.
- a signal coupler is used with at least three terminals for dividing the high-frequency signal into partial signals, wherein a first terminal is connected to the signal path, and wherein a second terminal is connected to the control circuit.
- the high-frequency signal is divided into at least two sub-signals, wherein a first sub-signal is guided via the signal path and the antenna switch to the antennas, while a second sub-signal is fed to the control circuit.
- the at least two sub-signals are signal equal in preferred embodiments, i. the signal coupler extracts only a partial signal for the control circuit from the high-frequency signal. The embodiment allows a very cost-effective implementation, since the control circuit can generate the low-frequency switching signal directly from the high-frequency antenna signal.
- the signal coupler is designed to generate a first sub-signal having a higher first signal power and a second sub-signal having a lower second signal power, wherein the second sub-signal is supplied to the control circuit.
- the signal coupler splits the high-frequency antenna signal into two sub-signals, which may indeed be identical in terms of their signal form however, differ in terms of their signal power. This refinement is advantageous in order to extract as little energy as possible from the radio signal used for the communication.
- the second sub-signal is much weaker than the first sub-signal.
- the coupling loss between the high frequency signal and the second partial signal is between about 10 dB and 20 dB.
- control circuit has a pulse generator configured to generate a plurality of pulses in response to the signal packets, the plurality of pulses representing the switching signal. In a preferred embodiment, one pulse per signal packet is generated in each case.
- This embodiment enables a very simple and cost-effective implementation of the new method and the new device, since the switching signal correlates directly with the sequence of signal packets.
- This configuration leads to frequent switching between the antennas, which is advantageous in the case of poor transmission and reception conditions on one of the antennas, because the "bad" antenna is used only briefly in each case due to frequent switching.
- the multiplicity of signal packets which succeed each other in time include pairs of successive signal packets, the antenna switch being switched after each pair.
- This embodiment is advantageous because here after each pair of signal packets is switched to another antenna. There is thus an increased probability that at least every other pair of signal packets will find better transmission and reception conditions. As a result, it can be assumed that at least every other pair of signal packets can be transmitted successfully.
- the design benefits from the fact that a failure of a signal packet in the communication in an automated system usually leads to the signal packet is sent again.
- the pairs of signal packets each contain a transmission signal packet and a reception signal packet.
- each pair of signal packets represents a communication event with request and response. This is advantageous because the sender of a message receives a response very quickly, on the basis of which he can recognize whether the transmission message has arrived at the receiver. If each pair of signal packets each includes a transmit signal packet and a receive signal packet, this, in combination with the preceding embodiment, results in the successive communication events occurring via different antennas. This embodiment results in a very simple and cost-effective diversity system.
- the device has a transmitter for generating a high-frequency transmission signal and a receiver for receiving a high-frequency received signal, wherein the transmitter and the receiver are coupled to the signal path via the signal coupler.
- the high-frequency signal includes both a transmission signal and a reception signal. Both signals are passed through the signal coupler, which branches off a partial signal for the control circuit.
- the control circuit receives a maximum number of signal packets. As a result, switching between the antennas is faster, and the new apparatus and method can respond more quickly to bad transmission and reception conditions.
- control circuit to a DC voltage circuit which is adapted to generate a regulated DC voltage from the high-frequency signal.
- the regulated DC voltage is advantageously used as the operating voltage for switching the antenna switch and for other electronic components of the device.
- not only a low-frequency switching signal for the antenna switch is generated from the high-frequency signal, but also a regulated DC voltage is generated, which is available as an operating voltage for the components of the control circuit.
- This embodiment has the advantage that the switching unit can be operated independently of an external power supply.
- the switching unit is arranged in the region of the first and second antenna and particularly preferably even integrated into the antennas.
- first and second antenna and control circuit can be used very flexibly. It is sufficient to connect an antenna cable for the common supply of the antennas and the control circuit.

- the antenna switch 54 is controlled with the output Q and with the negated output nQ of the flip-flop 76 so that the antennas 32, 34 alternately emit the transmission signals of the control unit 12.
- an antenna change takes place here so that two successive transmission bursts are emitted via different antennas.
- the change from one antenna to another takes place after the corresponding received signal has been received by the addressed I / O unit.
- the control unit 12 it is also possible for the control unit 12 to transmit its transmission signals via one of the two Antennas 30, 32 sends out, until a change to the other antenna is caused by the fact that a corresponding received signal is missing.
- the control unit 12 repeats a transmission telegram if a corresponding reception telegram is omitted in response.
