Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Realisieren einer Verdrahtung an einer Matrix aus Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen zum Anschließen von Leiterenden, insbesondere an wenigstens einem Reihenklemmenblock oder mehreren Reihenklemmenblöcken aus jeweils mehreren Reihenklemmen an einer Verdrahtungsvorrichtung.The invention relates to a method for implementing wiring on a matrix of conductor connection devices, in particular conductor terminal connection devices for connecting conductor ends, in particular to at least one terminal block or multiple terminal blocks each consisting of several terminal blocks on a wiring device.

Für die Energieübertragung und -verteilung werden Steuereinrichtungen für Nieder-, Mittel- oder Hochspannungsschaltanlagen benötigt. Die Steuereinrichtungen übernehmen neben Steuerungsfunktionen auch Überwachungs-, Schutz- und/oder Messfunktionen. Dafür werden verschiedene elektrische Komponenten, beispielsweise Schutz- oder Hilfsrelais, elektrische und/oder mechanische Schalter, Taster, Leuchten und/oder Mess- und/oder Anzeigeinstrumente für Strom, Spannung, Leistung und/oder Frequenz, miteinander verbunden. Zur Gewährleistung ihrer Funktionalität müssen solche Schaltanlagen konfiguriert werden. Dabei besteht aufgrund der Vielzahl verschiedener benötigter Funktionen ein gegebenenfalls erheblicher Verdrahtungsaufwand.Control devices for low, medium or high voltage switchgear are required for power transmission and distribution. In addition to control functions, the control devices also take on monitoring, protective and / or measuring functions. For this purpose, various electrical components, for example protective or auxiliary relays, electrical and / or mechanical switches, buttons, lights and / or measuring and / or display instruments for current, voltage, power and / or frequency, are connected to one another. Such switchgear must be configured to ensure their functionality. Due to the large number of different functions required, there may be considerable wiring outlay.

Um ein solches Anpassen leichter und schneller durchführen zu können, werden Reihenklemm-Anordnungen verwendet, bei denen eingangsseitige Steckplätze zum Anschluss elektrischer Stecker oder Leiter mit ausgangsseitigen Steckplätzen über Stromschienen miteinander verbunden sind. Die Stromschienen können über einsteckbare Querbrücken in Anreihrichtung der Reihenklemmen oder innerhalb einer Reihenklemme miteinander verbunden werden, um die eingangsseitigen Steckplätze mit den ausgangsseitigen Steckplätzen zu verbinden.In order to be able to carry out such an adaptation more easily and quickly, terminal block arrangements are used in which input-side slots for connecting electrical plugs or conductors with output-side slots are connected to one another via busbars. The busbars can be connected to one another via plug-in cross bridges in the direction in which the terminal blocks are arranged or within a terminal block in order to connect the slots on the input side with the slots on the output side.

Die DE 20 2008 013 610 U1 offenbart eine solche Reihenklemm-Anordnung. Bei dieser Reihenklemm-Anordnung ist jeweils ein eingangsseitiger Steckplatz mit einem ausgangsseitigen Steckplatz über eine Stromschiene verbunden. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, Anschlüsse über Verbinder, auch über zueinander senkrecht ausrichtbare Verbinder, verschiedener Art, miteinander zu verbinden. Offenbart ist auch eine Ausgestaltung, bei welcher ein mit Verbindern konfigurierbarer Stecker als Ganzes auf die Reihenklemmenanordnung aufgesetzt wird, um die ein- und ausgangseitigen Anschlüsse geeignet zu verbinden. Die Anordnung ermöglicht es daher aber nicht, die eingangsseitigen Steckplätze untereinander zu verbinden, ohne gleichzeitig die über die Stromschiene mit ihnen verbundenen ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze ebenfalls miteinander zu verbinden. Auch umgekehrt ermöglicht sie es daher nicht, die ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze untereinander zu verbinden, ohne gleichzeitig die über die Stromschiene mit ihnen verbundenen eingangsseitigen Steckplätze ebenfalls miteinander zu verbinden.the DE 20 2008 013 610 U1 discloses such a terminal block arrangement. In this terminal block arrangement, a slot on the input side is connected to a slot on the output side via a busbar. In addition, it is possible to connect connections to one another via connectors, including connectors of various types that can be aligned perpendicular to one another. One is also revealed Design in which a plug that can be configured with connectors is placed as a whole on the terminal block arrangement in order to suitably connect the inputs and outputs. However, the arrangement does not make it possible to connect the input-side slots to one another without at the same time also to connect the output-side slots connected to them via the busbar to one another. Conversely, it does not make it possible to connect the output-side slots with one another without at the same time also connecting the input-side slots connected to them via the busbar to one another.

Aus der WO 2015/150075 A1 ist weiter eine Klemm-Anordnung, insbesondere Reihenklemm-Anordnung, insbesondere für eine Mittelspannungsschaltanlage, bekannt, die zumindest zwei eingangsseitige Steckplätze und zumindest zwei ausgangsseitige Steckplätze umfasst, zwischen denen ein Konfigurierplatz vorgesehen ist, wobei die eingangsseitigen Steckplätze und die ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze nicht über Leiter oder sonstige Stromschienen der Klemm-Anordnung vorkonfiguriert unlösbar elektrisch miteinander verbunden sind. Weiterhin zeichnet sie sich dadurch aus, dass der Konfigurierplatz für jeden eingangsseitigen Steckplatz und für jeden ausgangsseitigen Steckplatz jeweils einen Konfiguriersteckplatz umfasst. Dadurch können eingangsseitige und Ausgangsseitige Konfiguriersteckplätze mit Leitern individuell verbunden werden. Es ist dadurch zudem möglich, einzelne eingangsseitige Steckplätze untereinander zu verbinden, ohne gleichzeitig auch ausgangsseitige Steckplätze zu verbinden. Weiterhin ist es dadurch möglich, einzelne ausgangsseitige Steckplätze untereinander zu verbinden, ohne gleichzeitig auch eingangsseitige Steckplätze zu verbinden.From the WO 2015/150075 A1 Furthermore, a clamping arrangement, in particular a series terminal arrangement, in particular for a medium-voltage switchgear, is known which comprises at least two input-side slots and at least two output-side slots, between which a configuration slot is provided, the input-side slots and the output-side slots not having conductors or other busbars of the clamping arrangement are preconfigured and permanently electrically connected to one another. Furthermore, it is characterized in that the configuration space comprises a configuration slot for each input-side slot and for each output-side slot. This allows configuration slots on the input and output sides to be individually connected with conductors. This also makes it possible to connect individual input-side slots with one another without also connecting output-side slots at the same time. Furthermore, it is thereby possible to connect individual slots on the output side with one another without also connecting slots on the input side at the same time.

  • Schritt 200): es werden mit wenigstens einem Leuchtmittel einzelne, vorzugsweise zwei, gemäß dem Verdrahtungsplan zu verbindende Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen in der Matrix direkt oder indirekt entsprechend zu dem Verdrahtungsplan angeleuchtet;
  • Schritt 300): die mit dem Leuchtmittel angeleuchteten und zu verbindenden Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen in der Matrix werden mit Leitern, die an ihren Enden in die zu verbindenden Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen in der Matrix eingesteckt werden, verbunden, wodurch eine jeweilige leitende Verdrahtungsverbindung erstellt wird;
  • Schritt 400): die im Schritt 300) erstellte leitende Verdrahtungsverbindung wird mit einer Testvorrichtung geprüft; wobei dann, wenn die im Schritt 300) erstellte leitende Verdrahtungsverbindung als funktionsfähig eingestuft wird, erneut die Schritte 200) und 300) durchlaufen werden, bis der Verdrahtungsplan vollständig umgesetzt und die zu erstellende Verdrahtung vollständig erstellt ist und wobei dann, wenn die jeweils im Schritt 300) erstellte leitende Verdrahtungsverbindung nicht als funktionsfähig eingestuft wird, die Verdrahtungsverbindung gelöst wird und erneut mit den Schritt 200) und 300) erstellt wird, worauf dann wieder der Schritt 400) folgt.
The following steps are then carried out:
  • Step 100): a wiring plan is created with a program for creating a wiring plan;
  • Step 200): individual, preferably two, conductor connection devices to be connected in accordance with the wiring plan, in particular conductor terminal connection devices in the matrix, are illuminated directly or indirectly in accordance with the wiring plan using at least one lamp;
  • Step 300): the conductor connection devices that are illuminated with the illuminant and to be connected, in particular conductor terminal connection devices in the matrix, are connected to conductors that are inserted at their ends into the conductor connection devices to be connected, in particular conductor terminal connection devices in the matrix, whereby a respective conductive wiring connection is established;
  • Step 400): the conductive wiring connection established in step 300) is tested with a test device; where if the in step 300) conductive wiring connection created is classified as functional, steps 200) and 300) are run through again until the wiring plan is fully implemented and the wiring to be created is completely created and if the conductive wiring connection created in step 300) is not classified as functional , the wiring connection is released and created again with steps 200) and 300), which is then followed again by step 400).

Zu einem Verfahren mit den Schritten 100 bis 400 des Anspruch 1 wird auf die US 6 784 802 B1 verwiesen.A method with steps 100 to 400 of claim 1 is referred to US 6,784,802 B1 referenced.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ferner einer, mehreren oder sämtlichen der Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen ein Reflektionsmittel (Reflektor) zur Reflektion einfallenden Lichts zugeordnet.According to the invention, a reflection means (reflector) for reflecting incident light is also assigned to one, several or all of the conductor connection devices, in particular conductor terminal connection devices.

Wenn die Verdrahtung vollständig erstellt ist, kann eine abschließende Funktionsprüfung mit dem Programm an der Verdrahtungsvorrichtung erfolgen, und die Reihenklemmenanordnung wird vorzugsweise erst dann als Ganzes von der Verdrahtungsvorrichtung mit der Testvorrichtung gelöst und an einem Anwendungsort im "Feld" installiert.When the wiring has been completely established, a final functional test can be carried out with the program on the wiring device, and the terminal block arrangement is preferably only then detached as a whole from the wiring device with the test device and installed at an application location in the "field".

Die Leiterenden der Leiter können manuell oder mit einem Bestückungsroboter in die Leiteranschlussenden gesetzt werden.The conductor ends of the conductors can be inserted into the conductor connection ends manually or with an assembly robot.

Ggf. kann parallel zum Ablauf des Verfahrens und/oder danach ein Testprotokoll angezeigt oder ausgegeben werden. Ein Vorteil des Verfahrens besteht darin, dass Änderungen an der Verdrahtung schnell "bis zur letzten Minute" umsetzbar sind. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass nach dem Umsetzen einer ersten Verdrahtung aus dieser ersten Verdrahtung mit dem Verfahren eine zweite Verdrahtung erstellt wird, indem Paare von zu lösenden Verbindungen und dann wieder neu zu erstellenden Verbindungen angezeigt und erstellt werden.If necessary, a test protocol can be displayed or output parallel to the course of the method and / or thereafter. One advantage of the method is that changes to the wiring can be implemented quickly "up to the last minute". It can also be provided that after a first wiring has been implemented from this first wiring using the method, a second wiring is created by displaying and creating pairs of connections to be released and then again to be created connections.

Die Verdrahtungsvorrichtung bzw. das Programm können derart ausgelegt sein, dass auch eine Leitungslänge, ein Leitungsquerschnitt und ggf. eine Farbe des einzusetzenden Leiters vorgeschlagen und umgesetzt werden.The wiring device or the program can be designed in such a way that a line length, a line cross-section and, if necessary, a color of the conductor to be used are suggested and implemented.

Die mit dem Verfahren zu verbindenden Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen können - müssen aber nicht zwingend -die Konfiguriersteckplätze einer Klemm-Anordnung sein.The conductor connection devices to be connected with the method, in particular conductor terminal connection devices, can - but need not necessarily - be the configuration slots of a clamping arrangement.

Das Verdrahtungsverfahren ist vollautomatisch mit einem Bestückungsroboter oder alternativ von einer Person durchführbar, der/die durch das Anleuchten der Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen einfach dazu in der Lage ist, die notwendigen Verdrahtungen zu erstellen.The wiring process can be carried out fully automatically with an assembly robot or, alternatively, by a person who is able to create the necessary wiring simply by illuminating the conductor terminal connection devices.

Vorteilhaft einsetzbar ist dieses Verfahren bei einer Reihenklemmenanordnung, die wenigstens zwei oder mehr aneinander gereihte Reihenklemmen aufweist, die jeweils wenigstens eine oder mehrere der Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen aufweist, von denen einer, mehreren oder sämtlichen ein Reflektionsmittel zur Reflektion einfallenden Lichts zugeordnet ist. Denn derart wird es deutlich erleichtert, die jeweils angeleuchteten Reihenklemmen zu erkennen.This method can advantageously be used in a terminal block arrangement which has at least two or more series terminals which each have at least one or more of the conductor connection devices, in particular conductor terminal connection devices, of which one, more or all of which is assigned a reflection means for reflecting incident light. This makes it much easier to identify the terminal blocks that are illuminated in each case.

Es ist ferner vorteilhaft und einfach, wenn die Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen bzw. die entsprechenden korrespondierenden Steckanschlüsse mittels Leitern, d.h. mit flexiblen oder starren Leitungen, Stromschienen, Steckbrücken oder mit wenigstens einer mit Leiterbahnen versehenen Leiterplatte miteinander verbunden werden.It is also advantageous and simple if the conductor connection devices, in particular conductor clamp connection devices or the corresponding corresponding plug-in connections, are connected to one another by means of conductors, i.e. with flexible or rigid lines, busbars, plug-in bridges or with at least one printed circuit board provided with conductor tracks.

Nicht Teil der Erfindung ist eine Klemm-Anordnung, insbesondere eine Reihenklemm-Anordnung, insbesondere für eine Mittelspannungsschaltanlage, die zumindest zwei eingangsseitige Steckplätze und zumindest zwei ausgangsseitige Steckplätze umfasst, sowie einen Konfigurierplatz, wobei die eingangsseitigen Steckplätze und die ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze nicht elektrisch fest vorkonfiguriert miteinander verbunden sind, und wobei der Konfigurierplatz für jeden eingangsseitigen Steckplatz und für jeden ausgangsseitigen Steckplatz jeweils einen Konfiguriersteckplatz umfasst, der jeweils mit einer Leiteranschlussvorrichtung versehen ist, wobei die Konfiguriersteckplätze mit Leitern verbindbar sind, wobei zumindest an einen Teil der eingangs- oder ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze einer oder mehrere elektrische oder elektronische Funktionsbausteine angeschlossen sind.The invention does not include a clamping arrangement, in particular a series terminal arrangement, in particular for a medium-voltage switchgear, which comprises at least two input-side slots and at least two output-side slots, as well as a configuration slot, whereby the input-side slots and the output-side slots are not electrically pre-configured with one another connected are, and wherein the configuration slot for each input-side slot and for each output-side slot comprises in each case a configuration slot, which is each provided with a conductor connection device, wherein the configuration slots can be connected with conductors, with at least one or more of the input or output-side slots electrical or electronic function modules are connected.

Fig.1 zeigt eine Klemm-Anordnung 1. Diese weist wenigstens einen Reihenklemmenblock auf. Vorzugsweise weist sie einen ersten Klemmenblock 201 und einen zweiten Klemmenblock 202 auf. Der erste Klemmenblock 201 und der zweite Klemmenblock 202 sind hier baugleich ausgebildet, was vorteilhaft, nicht aber zwingend ist. Der erste Klemmenblock 201 und der zweite Klemmenblock 202 sind hier zudem spiegelsymmetrisch angeordnet, so dass eine Eingangsseite E und eine Ausgangsseite A in Erstreckungsrichtung 53 an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Klemm-Anordnung 1 angeordnet sind. Fig. 1 shows a clamping arrangement 1. This has at least one terminal block. It preferably has a first terminal block 201 and a second terminal block 202. The first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202 are of identical construction here, which is advantageous, but not mandatory. The first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202 are also arranged mirror-symmetrically here, so that an input side E and an output side A are arranged on opposite sides of the clamping arrangement 1 in the direction of extension 53.

Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 jeweils fluchtend zu eingangsseitigen oder ausgangsseitigen Anschlüssen, insbesondere Steckplätzen 21, 22 angeordnet. Die Steckplätze 21, 22 können auf verschiedene Weise ausgebildet sein. Sie können durch Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen zum Anschluss eines Leiters bzw. Leiterendes gebildet werden. Diese können beispielsweise als Leiterklemm-Anschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere als Direktsteckanschlüsse mit einer Klemmfeder ausgebildet ein, die dazu dient, den in eine Klemmstelle eingeschobenen Leiter gegen eine Stromschiene zu drücken (Push-In). Die Steckplätze 21, 22 können aber auch in anderer Anschlusstechnik ausgebildet sein (z.B. als Zugfederanschlüsse, isolationsdurchdringende Anschlüsse, Schraubanschlüsse oder dgl.).In the embodiment shown, configuration slots 23 are each arranged in alignment with input-side or output-side connections, in particular slots 21, 22. The slots 21, 22 can be designed in various ways. They can be formed by conductor connection devices for connecting a conductor or conductor end. These can be used, for example, as conductor terminal connection devices, in particular as direct plug-in connections a clamping spring, which is used to push the conductor pushed into a clamping point against a busbar (push-in). The slots 21, 22 can, however, also be designed using a different connection technology (for example as tension spring connections, insulation-penetrating connections, screw connections or the like).

Die Steckplätze 21 und/oder 22 können beispielsweise auch als einzelne Steckplätze - Steckerstifte oder Steckbuchsen - eines übergeordneten Steckverbinders ausgebildet sein. Dann ist es lediglich noch notwendig, an diese Steckplätze 21 und/oder 22 jeweils einen Gegensteckverbinder anzuschließen, zu dem Leiter einzeln oder als Kabelbaum mit mehreren Leitern geführt sind. Eine solche Ausgestaltung zeigen die weiter unten noch zu erläuternden Fig.4 und 5.The slots 21 and / or 22 can, for example, also be designed as individual slots - plug pins or sockets - of a higher-level connector. Then it is only necessary to connect a mating connector to each of these slots 21 and / or 22, to which conductors are led individually or as a cable harness with several conductors. Such a configuration is shown by those to be explained further below Fig. 4 and 5 .

Die Steckplätze 21 und/oder 22 können auch derart ausgestaltet sein, dass mehrere Leiter einzeln oder vorzugweise als Kabel zusammengefasst beispielsweise jeweils zu wenigstens einer Leiterplatte geführt sind, an welche die Enden der Leiter angelötet sind. Der jeweilig derart angelötete Leiter wird derart im Rahmen dieser Beschreibung auch als "an einen "Steckplatz 21 und/oder 22" angeschlossen" definiert und bezeichnet. Der Steckplatz 21 und/oder 22 ist dann der Anschlussplatz für den Leiter auf der Leiterplatte (hier nicht dargestellt).The slots 21 and / or 22 can also be designed such that several conductors are individually or preferably combined as cables, for example each led to at least one circuit board to which the ends of the conductors are soldered. The respective conductor soldered in this way is also defined and referred to in this description as "connected to a" slot 21 and / or 22 ". The slot 21 and / or 22 is then the connection point for the conductor on the circuit board (not shown here).

Die Steckplätze 21 und/oder 22 sind jeweils elektrisch über leitende Stromschienen oder dgl. mit den Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 verbunden.The slots 21 and / or 22 are each electrically connected to the configuration slots 23 via conductive busbars or the like.

Der erste Reihenklemmenblock 201 und der zweite Reihenklemmenblock 202 sind in Erstreckungsrichtung Y voneinander beabstandet vorgesehen. Der Klemmplatz K ist dadurch zwischen dem ersten Reihenklemmenblock 201 und dem zweiten Reihenklemmenblock 202 angeordnet.The first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202 are provided at a distance from one another in the direction of extension Y. The terminal location K is thus arranged between the first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202.

Weiterhin sind der erste Reihenklemmenblock 201 und der zweite Reihenklemmenblock 202 bei dieser Ausführungsform jeweils in einem Gehäuse 341, 342 angeordnet (siehe Fig. 1 (a).Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202 are each arranged in a housing 341, 342 (see FIG Fig. 1 (a) .

In Fig. 1 (a), die eine perspektivische Ansicht der Klemm-Anordnung 1 zeigt, sind Teile der Gehäuse 341, 342 ausgespart bzw. ausgeblendet, so dass der Klemmplatz K zwischen dem ersten Reihenklemmenblock 201 und dem zweiten Reihenklemmenblock 202 sichtbar ist.In Fig. 1 (a) 9, which shows a perspective view of the clamping arrangement 1, parts of the housings 341, 342 are cut out or hidden, so that the clamping space K between the first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202 is visible.

Damit dieser Klemmplatz K zum elektrischen Verbinden der eingangsseitigen Steckplätze 21 mit den ausgangsseitigen Steckplätzen 22 durch ein Verbinden der Konfigurationssteckplätze 23 für einen Bediener zugänglich ist, sind die beiden Gehäuse 341, 342 hier um eine Schwenkachse 32 in eine Schwenkrichtung 320 relativ zueinander verschwenkbar vorgesehen. Dies ist eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung, die einfach handhabbar ist. Es ist aber keine zwingende Ausgestaltung.So that this terminal location K for electrically connecting the input-side slots 21 with the output-side slots 22 is accessible to an operator by connecting the configuration slots 23, the two housings 341, 342 are provided here so that they can pivot about a pivot axis 32 in a pivoting direction 320 relative to one another. This is an advantageous embodiment that is easy to handle. But it is not a mandatory design.

Fig. 1 (b) zeigt die Klemm-Anordnung dieser Ausführungsform ohne die Gehäuseausschnitte. Die Fig. 1 (c) - (e) zeigen die Klemm-Anordnung, wobei das Gehäuse 342 des zweiten Reihenklemmenblocks 202 relativ zum Gehäuse 341 des ersten Reihenklemmenblocks 201 um 180° in Schwenkrichtung 320 um die Schwenkachse 32 verschwenkt ist. Dadurch sind die Gehäuse 341, 342 offen. Der Klemmplatz K ist dann für einen Bediener von außen zugänglich. Er kann dort eine Verdrahtung vornehmen und einzelne der Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen miteinander leitend verbinden. Jede einzelne dieser Verbindungen wird nachfolgend auch als leitende Verdrahtungsverbindung bezeichnet. Fig. 1 (b) shows the clamping arrangement of this embodiment without the housing cutouts. the Fig. 1 (c) - (e) show the clamping arrangement, the housing 342 of the second modular terminal block 202 being pivoted relative to the housing 341 of the first modular terminal block 201 by 180 ° in the pivoting direction 320 about the pivot axis 32. As a result, the housings 341, 342 are open. The terminal location K is then accessible from the outside for an operator. He can carry out wiring there and conductively connect some of the conductor connection devices to one another. Each of these connections is also referred to below as a conductive wiring connection.

Dabei ist in den Fig. 1 (c) und (e) jeweils der derart zugängliche Klemmplatz K mit den Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 gezeigt. In der Fig. 1 (d) sind die Eingangsseite E mit den eingangsseitigen Steckplätzen 21 und die Ausgangsseite A mit den ausgangsseitigen Steckplätzen 22 der Klemm-Anordnung 1 sichtbar. Entsprechend werden die Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 in Fig. 1c als Konfiguriersteckplätze 23,A und 23,E bezeichnet.It is in the Fig. 1 (c) and (e) The terminal location K accessible in this way with the configuration slots 23 is shown in each case. In the Fig. 1 (d) the input side E with the input-side slots 21 and the output side A with the output-side slots 22 of the clamping arrangement 1 are visible. The configuration slots 23 in Figure 1c referred to as configuration slots 23, A and 23, E.

In Fig. 1 (e) ist eine beispielhafte Konfiguration des Konfigurierplatzes K dargestellt. Zum elektrischen Verbinden der eingangsseitigen Steckplätze 21 und der ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze 22 miteinander sind hier biegsame elektrische Leiter 6 vorgesehen, deren abisolierte bzw. nicht isolierte Enden in die an den Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23A, 23, E jeweils vorgesehenen bzw. ausgebildeten Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen eingesteckt werden.In Fig. 1 (e) an exemplary configuration of the configuration station K is shown. For the electrical connection of the input-side slots 21 and the output-side slots 22 with one another, flexible electrical conductors 6 are provided here, the stripped or non-insulated ends of which into those at the configuration slots 23A, 23, E each provided or formed conductor connection devices are inserted.

Bei der dargestellten Konfiguration verbinden alle elektrischen Leiter 6, die in solche Konfiguriersteckplätze 23, A; 23, E eingesteckt sind, jeweils einen der eingangsseitigen Steckplätze 21 mit einem der ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze 22. Dafür ist jeweils ein, mit einem eingangsseitigen Steckplatz 21 verbundener Konfiguriersteckplatz 23, E mittels eines elektrischen Leiters 6 mit einem mit einem ausgangsseitigen Steckplatz 22 verbundenen Konfiguriersteckplatz 23, A elektrisch verbunden.In the configuration shown, all of the electrical conductors 6 connected to such configuration slots 23, A; 23, E are plugged in, each one of the input-side slots 21 with one of the output-side slots 22. For this purpose, a configuration slot 23, E connected to an input-side slot 21 is provided by means of an electrical conductor 6 with a configuration slot 23, connected to an output-side slot 22, A electrically connected.

Denkbar ist aber auch eine Konfiguration, bei der elektrische Leiter 6 nur eingangsseitige Steckplätze 21 oder nur ausgangsseitige Steckplätze 22 miteinander verbinden. Dafür verbindet ein elektrischer Leiter 6 nur mit eingangsseitigen Steckplätzen 21 verbundene Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 miteinander, oder nur mit ausgangsseitigen Steckplätzen 22 verbundene Konfiguriersteckplätze 23.However, a configuration is also conceivable in which electrical conductors 6 only connect slots 21 on the input side or only slots 22 on the output side. For this purpose, an electrical conductor 6 only connects configuration slots 23 connected to input-side slots 21, or only configuration slots 23 connected to output-side slots 22.

Auch in der Fig. 1 (f) sind Gehäuseteile der Gehäuse 341, 342 der Klemm-Anordnung 1 ausgespart, so dass der Klemmplatz sichtbar ist. Die Fig. 1 (f) zeigt die fertig konfigurierte Klemm-Anordnung 1 bei geschlossenen Gehäusen 341, 342.Also in the Fig. 1 (f) housing parts of the housing 341, 342 of the clamping arrangement 1 are cut out so that the clamping location is visible. the Fig. 1 (f) shows the fully configured clamping arrangement 1 with the housings 341, 342 closed.

Es ist auch vorteilhaft - und diese Variante zeigen die Fig. 2a und Fig. 2b - die einen Steckplätze 21 oder 22 - beispielsweise die ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze 22 so zu gestalten, dass sie mit einem oder mehreren elektrischen Funktionsbausteinen B verbindbar sind bzw. nach dem Aufstecken dieser Funktionsbausteine B verbunden sind.It's also beneficial - and this variation shows that Fig. 2a and Figure 2b - one of the slots 21 or 22 - for example, to design the output-side slots 22 so that they can be connected to one or more electrical function modules B or are connected after these function modules B have been plugged on.

Derart können verschiedene der eingangsseitigen Steckplätze 21 über die Konfiguriersteckplätze 23A, E, und die Leiter 6 je nach einer gewünschten zu erstellenden Konfiguration über die Funktionsbausteine B miteinander verbunden werden. Nicht dargestellt sind hier die elektrischen Leiter 6 zum Verbinden der Konfiguriersteckplätze 23A bzw. 23B.In this way, various of the input-side slots 21 can be connected to one another via the function modules B via the configuration slots 23A, E, and the conductors 6, depending on a desired configuration to be created. The electrical conductors 6 for connecting the configuration slots 23A and 23B are not shown here.

Zur Realisierung der ausgangsseitigen Steckplätze 22 können Sockelelemente S1 an die Gehäuse 341 oder hier 342 angesetzt sein. Die Sockelelemente S1 weisen hier die Steckplätze 22 auf, z.B. in Form von Buchsen, in welche Leiterenden oder Stifte oder dgl. der Funktionsbausteine B einsteckbar sind.To implement the slots 22 on the output side, base elements S1 can be attached to the housing 341 or here 342. The base elements S1 have here the slots 22, for example in the form of sockets, into which conductor ends or pins or the like of the function modules B can be inserted.

Ein Befestigungsmittel wie eine Klammer K, die an dem Gehäuse 342 und/oder an dem Sockelelement S1 festlegbar ist, kann zusätzlich zur Sicherung des jeweiligen Funktionsbausteins B an dem Gehäuse 342 und/oder an dem Sockelelement S1 vorgesehen sein (siehe Fig. 2b).
Der oder die Funktionsbausteine B können verschiedenste elektrische oder elektronische Bauelemente aufweisen oder ausbilden und derart entsprechende elektrische oder elektronische Funktionen realisieren. So können sie beispielsweise einen oder mehrere Schalter aufweisen, insbesondere eines oder mehrere Relais aufweisen. Es können auch integrierte Schaltungen verschiedenster Art als Funktionsbaustein(e) vorgesehen sein.A fastening means such as a clamp K, which can be fixed to the housing 342 and / or to the base element S1, can additionally be provided to secure the respective functional module B to the housing 342 and / or to the base element S1 (see FIG Figure 2b ).
The function module (s) B can have or form a wide variety of electrical or electronic components and in this way implement corresponding electrical or electronic functions. For example, they can have one or more switches, in particular one or more relays. Integrated circuits of the most varied types can also be provided as functional module (s).

Die beiden Reihenklemmenblöcke 201, 202 der Fig. 2 sind in einen Sockel 2 einlegbar, beispielsweise einklemmbar oder einrastbar. Dieser Sockel 2 ist hier mit einem Befestigungsfuß 3 zum Befestigen auf einer Tragschiene T ausgebildet. Diese Tragschiene T ist hier eine Hutschiene. Die Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Tragschiene T ist als die Richtung X bezeichnet. Nach Fig. 1 ist der Befestigungsfuß 3 hingegen direkt an einem oder beiden der Reihenklemmenblöcke ausgebildet und bildet sich als Ganzes beim Zusammenschwenken der beiden Reihenklemmenblöcke 201, 202.The two terminal blocks 201, 202 of the Fig. 2 can be inserted into a base 2, for example clamped or latched. This base 2 is designed here with a fastening foot 3 for fastening on a mounting rail T. This mounting rail T is a top hat rail here. The main direction of extent of the support rail T is designated as the X direction. To Fig. 1 on the other hand, the fastening foot 3 is formed directly on one or both of the terminal blocks and is formed as a whole when the two terminal blocks 201, 202 are pivoted together.

Der Sockel 2 ist an seiner von der Tragschiene T abgewandten Seite in Richtung Z offen ausgestaltet, so dass die beiden Reihenklemmenblöcke 201, 202 nebeneinander in das Gehäuseunterteil 5 einlegbar sind.The base 2 is designed to be open on its side facing away from the support rail T in the Z direction, so that the two terminal blocks 201, 202 can be placed next to one another in the lower housing part 5.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der Klemm-Anordnung 1 mit einem ersten Reihenklemmenblock 201 und einem zweiten Reihenklemmenblock 202. Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the clamping arrangement 1 with a first terminal block 201 and a second terminal block 202.

Die Steckplätze 21 und/oder 22 sind hier als einzelne Steckplätze - Steckerstifte oder Steckbuchsen - jeweiliger übergeordneter erster und zweiter Steckverbinder ausgebildet, welche die jeweiligen Reihenklemmenblöcke 201 bzw. 202 im Zusammenspiel der aneinander gereihten Einzelklemmen 20 ausbilden. Die Einzelklemmen 20 können dazu in einen Rahmen eingesetzt sein, der sie als eine Art Montageeinheit zusammenhält. Dabei sind an der Unterseite des ersten Reihenklemmenblocks 201 und des zweiten Reihenklemmenblocks 202 die Steckplätze 21, 22 z.B. als Buchsen oder Stifte (hier nicht erkennbar, beispielhaft als Stifte, siehe aber dazu Fig. 5) ausgebildet, die mit korrespondierenden Stiften oder Buchsen (hier Buchsen 41) jeweiliger erster und zweiter Gegensteckverbinder 4a, 4b zusammenwirken, an welche jeweils ein Kabel bzw. ein Kabelbaum 42 angeschlossen ist, dessen Leiter in nicht dargestellter Weise mit den Buchsen 41 verbunden sind.
Die beiden Gegensteckverbinder 4a, 4b sind nebeneinander in ein Gehäuseunterteil 5 einlegbar. Dieses Gehäuseunterteil 5 ist hier mit einem Befestigungsfuß 7 zum Befestigen auf einer Tragschiene T ausgebildet. Diese Tragschiene T ist hier eine Hutschiene. Die Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Tragschiene T ist als die Richtung X bezeichnet. Das Gehäuseunterteil 5 ist an seiner von der Tragschiene T abgewandten Seite in Richtung Z offen ausgestaltet, so dass die beiden Gegensteckverbinder 4a, 4b nebeneinander in das Gehäuseunterteil 5 einlegbar sind.The slots 21 and / or 22 are designed here as individual slots - plug pins or sockets - respective superordinate first and second plug connectors, which form the respective terminal blocks 201 and 202 in the interplay of the individual terminals 20 lined up in a row. For this purpose, the individual terminals 20 can be inserted into a frame which they use as a type of assembly unit holds together. The slots 21, 22 are on the underside of the first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202, for example as sockets or pins (not visible here, for example as pins, but see Fig. 5 ) which interact with corresponding pins or sockets (here sockets 41) of respective first and second mating connectors 4a, 4b, to each of which a cable or a cable harness 42 is connected, the conductors of which are connected to the sockets 41 in a manner not shown.
The two mating connectors 4a, 4b can be placed next to one another in a lower housing part 5. This lower housing part 5 is designed here with a fastening foot 7 for fastening on a support rail T. This mounting rail T is a top hat rail here. The main direction of extent of the support rail T is designated as the X direction. The lower housing part 5 is designed to be open on its side facing away from the support rail T in the Z direction, so that the two mating connectors 4a, 4b can be inserted into the lower housing part 5 next to one another.

Die Ausgestaltung der beiden Gegensteckverbinder 4a, 4b ist vorzugsweise und vorteilhaft derart, dass die Kontakte - Buchsen 41 (oder Stifte) - der beiden Gegensteckverbinder 4a, 4b in einer gemeinsamen Ebene ausgerichtet sind. Vorzugsweise sind die Kontakte 41 dabei ferner so ausgerichtet, dass sie aus einer Richtung Z senkrecht zur Tragschiene (von "oben") kontaktierbar sind. Es wird eine Art Matrix-Steckfeld aus den Kontakten 41 der beiden Gegensteckverbinder 4 gebildet.The design of the two mating connectors 4a, 4b is preferably and advantageously such that the contacts - sockets 41 (or pins) - of the two mating connectors 4a, 4b are aligned in a common plane. The contacts 41 are preferably also aligned in such a way that they can be contacted from a direction Z perpendicular to the mounting rail (from “above”). A type of matrix patch panel is formed from the contacts 41 of the two mating connectors 4.

Auf dieses Matrix-Steckfeld werden die beiden Klemmenblöcke 201 und 202 wie Steckverbinder - vorzugsweise bereits mit einer Verdrahtung aus Leitern 6 versehen (hier nicht dargestellt) aufgesetzt, so dass deren an den eingangsseitigen Steckplätzen 1, 22 vorgesehene Kontakte (hier Stifte 43) jeweils die Kontakte (hier Buchsen 41) der beiden Gegensteckverbinder 4a, 4b kontaktieren. An der von der Tragschiene T abgewandten Seite weisen die beiden Klemmenblöcke wiederum die Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 auf.The two terminal blocks 201 and 202 like plug-in connectors - preferably already provided with wiring made of conductors 6 (not shown here) - are placed on this matrix patch panel, so that their contacts (here pins 43) provided at the input-side slots 1, 22 each have the Contact contacts (here sockets 41) of the two mating connectors 4a, 4b. On the side facing away from the mounting rail T, the two terminal blocks again have the configuration slots 23.

Diese liegen vorzugsweise ebenfalls in Reihen und Spalten, so dass an der von der Tragschiene abgewandten Seite der beiden Klemmenblöcke 21, 22 eine Art Klemmfeld K mit einer ebenen, flächigen Matrix aus den Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 A, 23E gebildet wird. Insoweit sei erklärend auf Fig. 1e verwiesen.These are preferably also in rows and columns, so that on the side of the two terminal blocks 21, 22 facing away from the mounting rail, a type of terminal field K with a flat, two-dimensional matrix of the configuration slots 23A, 23E is formed. To that extent is explanatory Fig. 1e referenced.

Diese Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 sind vorzugsweise als Leiteranschlussvorrichtungen - insbesondere als Push-In-Anschlüsse mit einer Klemmfeder zum Direktstecken der Leiterenden in den jeweiligen Anschluss - ausgebildet. Sie werden vorzugsweise wieder mit Brückenelementen, insbesondere mit biegsamen Leitern mit nicht isolierten, insbesondere abisolierten, Leiterenden, miteinander verbunden. Insoweit sei wiederum erklärend auf Fig. 1e verwiesen. Anschließend wird vorzugsweise ein Gehäuseoberteil 8 aufgesetzt, dass an dem Gehäuseunterteil 5 verrastet werden bzw. sein kann.These configuration slots 23 are preferably designed as conductor connection devices - in particular as push-in connections with a clamping spring for plugging the conductor ends directly into the respective connection. They are preferably connected to one another again with bridge elements, in particular with flexible conductors with non-insulated, in particular stripped, conductor ends. In this respect, it is again explanatory Fig. 1e referenced. Subsequently, an upper housing part 8 is preferably placed that can be or be latched onto the lower housing part 5.

Dabei können die Konfiguriersteckplätze 23A und 23E beispielsweise in Tragschienenrichtung X nebeneinander angeordnet sein oder senkrecht zur Tragschiene (Fig. 3, 4) nebeneinander.The configuration slots 23A and 23E can be arranged next to one another in the mounting rail direction X, for example, or perpendicular to the mounting rail ( Fig. 3 , 4th ) side by side.

Fig. 5 zeigt beispielhaft eine Reihenklemme 20 für einen Reihenklemmenblock 201, 202, beispielsweise nach Art der Fig. 3 oder 4. Die Reihenklemme 20 weist die Steckplätze 21 auf. Diese werden durch Stifte 43 gebildet. Alternativ können sie durch Buchsen gebildet werden. Fig. 5 shows an example of a terminal block 20 for a terminal block 201, 202, for example of the type Fig. 3 or 4th . The terminal block 20 has the slots 21. These are formed by pins 43. Alternatively, they can be formed by sockets.

Die Steckplätze sind jeweils mit einer Stromschiene 44 mit den Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 verbunden. Diese sind jeweils als Push-In Anschlüsse P ausgebildet. Diese weisen eine Klemmfeder 45 und vorzugsweise einen Klemmkäfig 46 auf. Mit der Klemmfeder 45 kann das abisolierte Ende eines Leiters 6 gegen die Stromschiene 44 gepresst bzw. dort verklemmt werden. Die Leiterenden sind in einer Einsteckrichtung -Z einsteckbar. Es können Drücker - Pusher - 47 zum Lösen der Anschlüsse vorgesehen sein. Derartige Push-In-Anschlüsse P sind an sich bekannt.The slots are each connected to the configuration slots 23 by a busbar 44. These are each designed as push-in connections P. These have a clamping spring 45 and preferably a clamping cage 46. With the clamping spring 45, the stripped end of a conductor 6 can be pressed against the busbar 44 or clamped there. The conductor ends can be inserted in an insertion direction -Z. Pushers 47 can be provided for releasing the connections. Such push-in connections P are known per se.

Um ein einfaches Verbinden von Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 zu realisieren, die jeweils mit einem der Leiter 6 zu verbinden sind, ist es notwendig, Leiter mit abisolierten Enden mit diesen nach einem Schaltplan bzw. Verdrahtungsplan für einen jeweiligen Anwendungsfall in Paare zusammengehöriger Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 zu stecken.In order to implement a simple connection of configuration slots 23, which are each to be connected to one of the conductors 6, it is necessary to plug conductors with stripped ends into pairs of configuration slots 23 that belong together according to a circuit diagram or wiring diagram for a particular application.

Die zusammengehörigen Konfiguriersteckplätze-23 sind aufgrund der matrixartigen Anordnung mit Reihen und Spalten von Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 bereits einfach zu erkennen. Eine Person, welche nach dem jeweiligen Schaltplan die Verbindung mit Leitern 6 vornimmt, verbindet nach dem jeweiligen Schaltplan die zusammengehörigen Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 bzw. deren Direktsteckanschlüsse P mit den Leitern 6 nacheinander miteinander. Alternativ kann dieses Verbinden mit Leitern vollautomatisch z.B. von einem Bestückungsroboter vorgenommen werdenThe associated configuration slots 23 are already easy to recognize due to the matrix-like arrangement with rows and columns of configuration slots 23. A person who makes the connection to conductors 6 according to the respective circuit diagram connects the associated configuration slots 23 or their direct plug-in connections P with the conductors 6 one after the other according to the respective circuit diagram. Alternatively, this connection with conductors can be carried out fully automatically, e.g. by a pick and place robot

Nochmals vereinfacht wird das manuelle Verbinden zusammengehöriger Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 nach einem Verdrahtungsplan miteinander, wenn wenigstens ein Leuchtmittel vorgesehen ist, mit dem jeweils zu verbindende Konfiguriersteckplätze angeleuchtet werden können. Vorzugsweise ist das Leuchtmittel ein Laser oder eine LED. Mit dem Leuchtmittel werden jeweils zusammengehörige bzw. leitend zu verbindende Konfiguriersteckplätze 23 angeleuchtet. Dazu kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, den Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 - wie in Fig. 5 beispielhaft gezeigt, jeweils einen Reflektor 48 zuzuordnen, und zwar vorzugsweise an der Oberseite der Reihenklemme. Bei einem Anleuchten mit dem Leuchtmittel reflektiert dieser Reflektor R das auf ihn eingestrahlte Licht. In die dann einfach zu erkennenden Konfiguriersteckplätze steckt die die Verdrahtung vornehmende Person die Leiterenden des Leiters 6 ein.The manual connection of associated configuration slots 23 according to a wiring diagram is simplified again if at least one lighting means is provided with which configuration slots to be connected can be illuminated. The illuminant is preferably a laser or an LED. Configuring slots 23 that belong together or are to be conductively connected are illuminated with the lighting means. For this purpose it can advantageously be provided that the configuration slots 23 - as in FIG Fig. 5 shown by way of example to assign a reflector 48 in each case, specifically preferably on the top of the terminal block. When illuminated with the illuminant, this reflector R reflects the light radiated onto it. The person performing the wiring inserts the conductor ends of the conductor 6 into the configuration slots, which are then easy to recognize.

Hier ist jeweils ein Reflektor 48 an dem Gehäuse 50 zwischen dem Drücker 47 und der Öffnung 51 zum Einstecken eines Leiters 6 angeordnet.Here, a reflector 48 is arranged on the housing 50 between the pusher 47 and the opening 51 for inserting a conductor 6.

Ob die Leiter 6 in die richtigen Konfiguriersteckplätze 12 eingesteckt worden sind, kann anhand einer Messung an einer Testvorrichtung überprüft werden. Fließt nach dem Einstecken von zwei Leitern bzw. Leiterenden eines Leiters 6 zwischen zwei Konfigurierplätzen bzw. den daran angeschlossenen Leitern ein Strom, ist die entsprechende Verbindung hergestellt. Ist die Verbindung korrekt hergestellt, werden von dem oder den Leuchtmittel(n) zwei weitere zusammengehörige Steckplätze hergestellt. Danach wiederholt sich der Vorgang, vorzugsweise, bis eine zu erstellende Verdrahtung vollständig umgesetzt ist und sämtliche zu verbindenden Paare von Konfiguriersteckplätzen 23 miteinander verbunden sind.Whether the conductors 6 have been plugged into the correct configuration slots 12 can be checked on the basis of a measurement on a test device. If, after two conductors or conductor ends of a conductor 6 have been inserted, a current flows between two configuration stations or the conductors connected to them, the corresponding connection is established. If the connection is made correctly, two further associated slots are created from the lamp (s). The process is then repeated, preferably until the wiring to be created has been completely implemented and all the pairs of configuration slots 23 to be connected are connected to one another.

Dann ist es lediglich noch notwendig, an diese Steckplätze 21 und/oder 22 jeweils einen Gegensteckverbinder anzuschließen, zu dem Leiter einzeln oder als Kabelbaum mit mehreren Leitern geführt sind.Then it is only necessary to connect a mating connector to each of these slots 21 and / or 22, to which conductors are led individually or as a cable harness with several conductors.

Der erste Reihenklemmenblock 201 und der zweite Reihenklemmenblock 202 umfassen jeweils zwei siebenreihige und vierspaltige, nebeneinander angeordnete Anschlussstecker, deren Steckplätze 21, 22 als Stifte ausgebildet sind.The first terminal block 201 and the second terminal block 202 each include two seven-row and four-column connector plugs arranged next to one another, the slots 21, 22 of which are designed as pins.

Die Anzahl der Steckplätze 21, 22 ist durch die Anzahl der korrespondierenden Anschlussstecker und/oder die Anzahl ihrer Reihen R oder Spalten S anpassbar.
