Definitions
- the present application relates to a field device with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1, a measuring arrangement with the features of patent claim 11 and a method for operating such a field device with the features of the preamble of patent claim 11.
- Such field devices can, for example, be measuring devices, in particular designed as filling level or limit level measuring devices, pressure measuring devices or temperature measuring devices.
- field devices are often used that are used to record and/or influence process variables.
- Examples of such field devices are filling level measuring devices, limit level measuring devices and pressure measuring devices with sensors that record the corresponding process variables filling level, limit level or pressure.
- Such field devices are often connected to higher-level units, for example control systems or control units. These higher-level units are used for process control, process visualization and/or process monitoring.
- Field devices can thus in particular be actuators, sensors and measuring transducers and/or evaluation devices.
- modular field devices that are assembled from a modular field device concept.
- a modular field device concept a number of combinable sensors, housings, electronic units or electronic modules and operating and/or display units, which are each coordinated with one another, can be selected and a corresponding field device can be set up.
- Such a modular field device concept is offered, for example, by the company Vega Grieshaber KG.
- a sensor, a corresponding electronic module that contains the field device electronics, i.e. in particular measured value processing and an interface to a controller and, if applicable, a fieldbus used, as well as various display and/or operating units can usually be combined.
- the sensors, electronic modules and display and/or operating units are adapted both to one another and to various available housings.
- the present application also relates to self-sufficient measuring arrangements, in particular self-sufficient filling level or point level sensors.
- the self-sufficient fill level or limit level sensors are preferably designed as radar sensors and have - to ensure the self-sufficiency of the sensors - in addition to a measuring transducer for acquiring measurement data, a transmission device for preferably wireless transmission of acquired measurement data or measured values and a separate power supply.
- the transmission device can preferably be a Radio module for a narrowband radio technology (LoRa, Sigfox, LTE-M, NB-IOT), which transmits the measurement data or measurement values to a cloud, ie to a server on the World Wide Web.
- the energy supply is preferably designed as a battery or accumulator and can also include an energy harvesting module.
- Typical application scenarios for such field devices include, in particular, inventory management or measurement tasks on mobile containers.
- Known field devices of the aforementioned type previously made it possible to transmit measured values, so that a higher-level unit triggered a predetermined action based on the determined measured value. For example, based on the measured value of a fill level measuring device, an inlet can be closed or an outlet can be opened if a limit value is exceeded.
- a field device with an electronics unit with a communication interface for communication with a service unit, at least one measuring transducer connected to the electronics unit for detecting a measured variable and at least one triggering element connected to the electronics unit is characterized in that the electronics unit is designed and is configured such that a first service request occurs at the service unit upon actuation of the triggering element.
- the field device makes it possible to trigger a service request through the triggering element, i.e. in particular by actuating the triggering element.
- the measured variable recorded can be the filling level of a refuse container. If a user of the garbage container, e.g. a resident of the house, knows that an increased volume of garbage is to be expected due to special events and that the garbage container must therefore be emptied at short notice, emptying of the container can be requested manually by actuating the trigger element.
- emptying can also be requested for other reasons, e.g. because strong-smelling waste was filled in that needs to be disposed of at short notice.
- a service request is made both when a limit value of the measured variable is exceeded and by the triggering element, i.e. in particular by actuating the triggering element.
- a service request can be made both by the measuring transducer, i.e. in particular by reaching a limit value of the measured variable, and also by the triggering element, i.e. in particular by actuation of the triggering element. It is therefore possible to request an emptying of the container (as an example service) in addition to an automated service request, e.g. for the above reasons.
- a predeterminable fill level it is known from experience, for example, that the refuse container will be full within the next two days and must be emptied. In this case, a service request, in the present example, an emptying of the container is automatically requested by the field device. If a resident of the house knows that the filling level will rise sharply in the short term, and the filling level is therefore currently still below the limit value, but will exceed it for a short time, a service request can also be made manually.
- the field device can also have a display element for displaying a triggering and/or for confirming a service request and/or for signaling a confirmation from the service unit, i.e. a confirmation from the service unit that the requested service is being carried out.
- a display element can, for example, be an illuminant, in particular in the form of a light-emitting diode or another energy-saving illuminant.
- the triggering can be indicated by flashing of the display element, and the confirmation of the service unit can be signaled by the lighting of the display element.
- the display element could also be implemented acoustically, for example by a loudspeaker.
- the field device can be embodied as a field device for process automation.
- field devices are often used that are used to record and/or influence process variables.
- Examples of such field devices are filling level measuring devices, limit level measuring devices and pressure measuring devices with sensors or measuring transducers that record the corresponding process variables or measured variables of filling level, limit level or pressure.
- Such field devices are often connected to higher-level units, for example control systems, control units or, in the present case, a service unit. These higher-level units are used for process control, process visualization and/or process monitoring.
- the field device is designed as a fill level measuring device.
- Level measuring devices can be used to advantage in many industrial, but also everyday applications of warehousing and stockkeeping, but also in disposal. In this way, processes can easily be automated and at the same time manually overridden by the user. For example, warehouse stocks can be monitored in this way and ordering processes can be triggered as a service if the stock falls below a minimum level, ie for example a minimum fill level. Disposal containers can also be monitored and emptying can be requested as a service.
- the electronics can be designed in such a way that multiple actuation of the triggering element triggers at least one second service request that is different from the first.
- multiple actuation of the triggering element triggers at least one second service request that is different from the first.
- prioritized emptying or replacement of the container can be requested as a service if the triggering element is actuated multiple times or for different lengths of time. For example, a brief actuation of the triggering element of less than 1 second and a long actuation of the triggering element of, for example, longer than 2 seconds or longer than 3 seconds can be distinguished.
- Another service can also be requested for an order. If, for example, a regular reordering of the monitored filling material is triggered, a new container with filling material can be requested when the triggering element is actuated several times.
- the field device can have a touch display.
- a touch display is to be understood as an integrated, touch-sensitive display element, via which both inputs by touch and outputs by displaying information are possible. If a touch display is used, there is the possibility that a specific time for a service to be carried out will be reported back as a confirmation of the service. For example, it can be displayed when a disposal container is emptied or when a reordered product is delivered.
- the triggering element can be arranged separately from the field device. This means that the triggering element can be arranged remotely from the field device with the measuring transducer. This can be necessary, for example, if the field device and the transmitter are not accessible for manual operation. This can be the case, for example, with particularly high containers, or when the field device is arranged inside a container.
- the field device is designed as an autonomous field device.
- the present embodiment essentially relates to autonomous field devices, in particular autonomous level sensors or point level sensors.
- the self-sufficient fill level or limit sensors are preferably designed as radar sensors and, in order to ensure the self-sufficiency of the sensors, have, in addition to a measurement sensor for acquiring measurement data, a transmission device for preferably wireless transmission of acquired measurement data or measurement values, and their own power supply.
- the transmission device can preferably be a radio module for narrowband radio technology (LoRa, Sigfox, LTE-M, NB-IOT), which transmits the measurement data or measurement values to a cloud, i.e. to a server on the World Wide Web.
- the energy supply is preferably designed as a battery or accumulator and can also include an energy harvesting module.
- Typical application scenarios for such field devices include, in particular, inventory management or measurement tasks on mobile containers.
- for attachment to a container means that the measuring arrangement can be attached to the container in a non-invasive, i.e. non-destructive manner, i.e. in particular without drilling or other measures that could damage the container.
- the communication interface to the service point can be said radio interface. Both a measured value transmission and the service request can thus take place via the radio interface.
- the field device can have a feedback device that makes it possible to confirm a successful request for the service and—depending on the configuration—to report back a successful service request and/or a specific point in time for the service execution.
- a measuring arrangement according to the invention with a field device as described above is characterized in that the measuring arrangement comprises a computer with a display on which a virtual representation of the field device and/or the triggering element can be displayed, with a service request being possible using the virtual representation of the field device .
- a service request from the computer of the measuring system can be made in a simple manner by means of a corresponding virtual representation of the field device or the triggering element.
- the computer can be designed, for example, as a desktop computer, tablet computer, server, cloud computing or mobile phone, on which a corresponding program for displaying the virtual representation and for communicating with the field device runs.
- the communication with the field device can take place, for example, via a radio link that is set up via a radio module of the computer.
- a method according to the invention for operating a field device according to the above description is characterized in that a service takes place at the service unit when the triggering element is actuated.
- a service request occurs both when a limit value of the measured variable is reached or exceeded and when the triggering element is actuated.
- the service can thus be requested both automatically and manually.
- the triggering element is triggered manually.
- it can be triggered manually by pressing a button or a virtual button.
- a service request can thus be made easily and intuitively.
- the service request via a button can be protected by an integrated fingerprint sensor, for example, or by activation with a certain key sequence in order to protect against unauthorized requests.
- Provision can also be made for a service request based on the triggering element to be treated with a higher priority than a service request based on the measuring element.
- a higher priority can mean, for example, that the requested service is executed earlier.
- different services can be requested by different actuation of the triggering element. It can be provided that a single actuation of the triggering element requests one service, and multiple actuations of the triggering element within a predetermined time request another service. The action of the other service can also match the first service, but it can be executed with an increased priority.
- a simple actuation of the trigger element can cause a disposal container to be emptied within 2 working days, and repeated actuation of the trigger element can cause the disposal container to be emptied within 24 hours.
- a replacement of the disposal container can be requested by a different actuation of the triggering element, for example holding it down for at least a predetermined period of time, for example at least 5 seconds.
- feedback can be sent to the field device if the service request is successful. This means that, for example, successful transmission of the service request and/or successful planning of the service can be confirmed.
- successful transmission of the service request can be signaled, for example, by the illuminant flashing, and successful planning of the service can be signaled by the illuminant being illuminated.
- the feedback can contain a specific point in time for the service to be carried out, which is shown on the display will. For example, you can report back when a disposal container is scheduled to be emptied.
- the procedure can have the following steps:
- optical feedback can also be used by the sensor itself, for example to visualize the sensor status or the filling level using a color gradient.
- the type of feedback and the request can be freely configurable.
- the type of visual display of the feedback can be configured differently, for example using different flashing sequences and/or colors.
- Different actuations of the request unit can also be provided. For example, a short press of the button or a long press of the button or different sequences can request different services.
- features and properties of the proposed field device correspond to those of the proposed method and vice versa.

- a fifth step 405 the requested service is executed and the execution of the service is acknowledged.
- the execution of the service and the acknowledgment is signaled in a sixth step 406 on the field device 3 by the fact that the feedback device 13 is off, i.e. in particular it does not light up, or does not display anything, or is deactivated.
- FIG. 5 shows a second possible course of a method for operating a measuring arrangement 1 with a plurality of field devices 3 according to the present application.
- the multiple field devices can be arranged on one container 70 or on multiple containers 70, with a requested service being performed jointly for all containers 70 in each case.

- one and the same field device can also request different services and the identical service with different priorities. This can be done either automatically, for example when predetermined limit values are exceeded, or manually, for example by pressing the trigger element 11 once or several times or by keeping it pressed.
- an emptying of the container 70 can be requested with normal priority when a fill level of 80% is reached. Will then before the requested service was performed, ie before the container 70 was emptied, a filling level of 90% was reached, the same service can now be requested by the same field device but with increased priority.
- an increased priority in the service request can mean, for example, that the container 70 must be emptied within a maximum specified period of time.
- a manual request for the service can also take into account the different priorities described above. For example, a normal priority service request can be made by simply pressing the trigger. A service request with an increased priority can be requested by simply pressing the trigger element 11, for example.
- a third service for example an exchange of the container 70, can then be requested.
- the services described should only be understood as examples and can be adapted to the intended use of the respective field device 3 .
