- the rechargeable battery or the capacitor can be charged via the two-core cable from the evaluation unit.
- the active sensor can, for example, transmit data to the evaluation unit by means of the electrical energy made available to it.
- the sensor has an identification number.
- the identification number may be a serial number, which is preferably randomly selected from a predefinable address space during production and allocated to the sensor (eg programmed in as part of production). As a result, the probability that two sensors with the same identification number are installed in the sensor can be kept low in a simple manner.
- the probe has a variety of
- the hardware address can be specified by a wiring of the sensor.
- the sensor preferably comprises a plurality of terminals (pins), which may be occupied or not occupied.

- Temperature sensors which are connected in parallel with each other and connected to a two-wire connecting line; schematically a message flow diagram between a sensor and an evaluation unit.
- At least one sensor is arranged in the measuring sensor, in particular up to 16 sensors can be provided. Of course, more than 16 sensors are possible. In this way, a plurality of measuring points corresponding to the number of sensors can be detected on the basis of the measuring sensor and transmitted via the two-wire line to a suitable evaluation unit and / or to a cooking appliance.
- the sensors may be arranged on or in a suitable carrier material, for example in a sensor tube suitable for use with food. The sensor tube can be inserted into the food.
- Sensors provided data can be transmitted from the evaluation in a defined format via a predetermined interface to the cooking appliance or other device control.

- Device control e.g. regularly collects or requests the data cached by the evaluation unit.
- the device control can optimize the cooking process and / or inform a user of different states of the cooking process.
- the sensors preferably have a digital serial communication interface, wherein both data are transmitted via the two-wire connection to the evaluation unit and energy can be supplied to the sensors.
- the sensor comprises an energy store (e.g., a capacitor or a battery) such that the sensor receives a condition or measurement, e.g. can transmit a temperature to the evaluation unit.

- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a system comprising a measuring sensor 105, which has a plurality of temperature sensors and is plugged into a food 106.
- the measuring sensor 105 is connected to a two-pole connecting socket 104, which is connected to an evaluation unit 101.
- the evaluation unit 101 is connected to a device control 102 of the cooking appliance comprising the cooking chamber 103.
- 2 shows schematically in a sectional view the measuring sensor 105, which has a sensor tube 202, wherein in the sensor tube 202, a printed circuit board 201 having a plurality of
- the sensor 105 further comprises a handle 203, through a line is connected to a plug 204.
- the plug can be connected to the connection socket 104 shown in FIG.
- Fig. 3 shows the printed circuit board 201 of Fig. 2 with a plurality of sensors (e.g.
- Temperature sensors 302 to 307 which are connected in parallel with each other and connected to a two-wire connecting line 301.
- the two-wire connection cable connects the sensors 302 to 307 with the evaluation unit 101 (see FIG. 1).
- the evaluation unit 101 supplies the sensors 302 to 307 with electrical energy (for example 3.3V).
- the sensors 302-307 are implemented as active sensors so that they have the electrical energy needed to transmit data (e.g., temperature values or initialization). This can e.g. can be achieved by the sensors have a capacitor, which, after being connected to the evaluation unit (or the
- Evaluation unit provided energy) was loaded, the respective sensor provides the necessary energy to send data.
- Evaluation unit 101 is a bidirectional communication. So can the
- Evaluation unit 101 after initialization of the sensors 302 to 307 query the temperature of each sensor and for further processing to the
- the cooking appliance can also be controlled based on the data obtained and / or it can be a user
- Information is provided concerning e.g. the temperature (s) in the food 106 or - based on the temperatures or temperature changes along the sensor 105 - a still required cooking time for the food 106.
- the communication between the evaluation unit 101 and the sensors 302 to 307, in particular the initialization of the sensors 302 to 307, can take place in different ways.
- a possibility using a serial digital protocol will be described by way of example.
- the evaluation unit 101 supplies (or charges) the individual sensors with a predetermined voltage, for example 3.3V. Communication takes place via the two-wire connection line to the sensors, which in this case serves as a data bus between the sensors 302 and 307 and the evaluation unit 101.
- a logic "0" may be indicated by the voltage of 3.3V for a short time "0" is placed and a logical "1" can be indicated by the
- the evaluation unit 101 can transmit binary signals via the two-wire bus to the sensors 302 to 307 and the sensors 302 to 307 can transmit binary signals to the evaluation unit 101.
- the sensors have an identification code or a serial number with a length of 48 bits, ie there are 2 48 distinguishable sensors. If, for example, 15 sensors are mounted in the sensor, then there is only a small amount
- each sensor can have four (additional) ports, on the hardware side, a mounting position is linked: For example, the sensor in the top over all four ports (this corresponds to a logical hardware address "11 11") is controlled and the sensor, the handle on the next one is not addressed via any of the four ports (corresponding to a logical hardware address "0000").
- FIG. 4 schematically shows a message flow diagram between a sensor 401 and an evaluation unit 402.
- FIG. 4 shows by way of example only the one sensor 401, wherein according to the illustration shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of sensors 302 to 307 can be connected to the connection line 301.
- connection line 301 represents the communication connection to the sensors 302 to 307, that is also to the sensor 401 shown in FIG. 4; this communication link can be considered as a two-wire bus.
- the sensor 401 can be supplied with electrical energy via this two-wire bus.
- the sensor 401 has an energy store (eg, a capacitor) that can be charged via the two-wire bus. After the charging process, which is completed relatively quickly, the sensor 401 has sufficient electrical energy to be able to transmit data via the two-wire bus to the evaluation unit 402.
- the senor shown in FIG. 4 has a serial number "11" (binary). This short serial number serves above all the exemplary representation of the
- the evaluation unit 402 After commissioning of the sensor, the evaluation unit 402 does not know the sensors installed in it; Also, the evaluation unit does not know at which position of the sensor tube the sensors are installed.
- the evaluation unit 402 sends a request 403 via the two-wire bus to all sensors (broadcast message) and asks the connected sensors (also the sensor 401) to transmit their serial numbers to the evaluation unit. This is done bitwise, i. the sensors transmit the first bit of the serial number. If the first bit of the serial number is logic "0", the sensor transmits a 0-pulse of short duration and at a logic "1" the sensor transmits a 0-pulse long duration.
- the evaluation unit 402 thus receives at several connected
- Sensors at least one of which has a serial number starting with logic "1”, a binary “1” - the other "0" signals possibly transmitted by other sensors are covered by the at least one "1" signal and are for the evaluation unit 402 is not visible or recognizable.
- the evaluation unit 402 Since the evaluation unit 402 has received a "1" signal in this example, the evaluation unit 402 sends a message 405 to the sensors that all sensors whose first bit of the serial number equals "0" do not coincide with the transmission of the
- the evaluation unit 402 knows after receiving the message 406 (it only sees the "1" signal, a possibly also sent "0" signal is for the
- Evaluation unit not recognizable that the serial number "1 1" from a sensor (namely the sensor 401 shown by way of example) is used.
- the initialization or detection of further sensors proceeds according to the above principle in that the evaluation unit 402 specifically instructs the sensors that only those sensors are to respond whose (next) bit is not "0" or not "1".
- the evaluation unit 402 can query the binary address space and determine sequentially which addresses are occupied by sensors of the sensor.
- the evaluation unit 402 stores the addresses of the detected sensors and can now specifically address these sensors in a question-answer protocol. This also ensures that only one of the sensors always responds. For example, the evaluation unit 402 may send a message 407 (request) to the detected sensor 401 asking for the hardware address of the sensor 401. The sensor 401 then transmits its hardware address in a (response) message 408 to the evaluation unit 402. As already stated above, the hardware address indicates where the sensor 401 is placed along the sensor tube. The hardware address results from the wiring of the terminals of the sensor 401, which is detected by the sensor 401 and can be transmitted to the evaluation unit 402. The evaluation unit 402 knows which hardware address corresponds to which position and can therefore forward the data to the device controller.
- the senor 401 may be a temperature sensor that provides a current temperature.
- the sensor may also be a moisture sensor or a brightness sensor, with moisture or brightness information correspondingly being supplied to the evaluation unit 402.
- the solution presented here has the advantage that a plurality of temperature values of a food can be detected by means of the plurality of sensors, without the need for complicated wiring of the sensors or complex connectors for a large number of sensors.
- Another advantage is the flexibility to change the number of measuring points. For example, the number of measuring points between 1 and 15 can vary without much effort. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
