Definitions
- the invention relates to a bus system which includes a feed module, a consumer module and a data cable which connects the feed module to the consumer module, the data cable having several wires.
- the invention also relates to a method for operating a bus system according to the invention.
- Consumer modules which are also referred to as field devices, have, for example, a control unit with power electronics for controlling an electric drive.
- a feed module is connected to a consumer module using a data cable, which has several wires for transmitting data signals.
- An example of a generic bus system is, among others, EtherCat.
- EtherCat In addition to the transmission of data, such a bus system in the “Power Over EtherCAT” version also offers the option of providing two independent voltage sources for consumer modules.
- An electric drive in such an automation system can be transferred to a safe operating state using a “Safe Torque-Off” / STO function.
- Such an STO signal can be transmitted, for example, via separate signal lines and prevents the generation of torque on the electric drive, for example by deactivating the power supply to gate drivers of the power electronics in the control unit.
- the disadvantage here is additional and complex wiring of the signal lines.
- an STO signal can be transmitted via the bus system as a secure data record.
- the STO signal is evaluated in the consumer module, and generation of torque on the electric drive is safely deactivated.
- Such a solution reduces the wiring effort, but requires extensive drive development and commissioning according to safety guidelines.
- a bus system which comprises a feed module, a consumer module and a data cable connecting the feed module to the consumer module.
- the data cable has several wires for transmitting data signals and also allows the transmission of supply voltages.
- an input/output module for a bus system which includes two DC voltage supplies.
- the DC voltage supplies are each connected to an electrical contact via an inductive assembly.
- a bus system which includes a data cable with two pairs of wires and an input/output module.
- the bus system includes two DC voltage supplies.
- the invention is based on the object of developing a bus system and a method for operating a bus system.
- the object is achieved according to the invention by a bus system with the features specified in claim 1.
- Advantageous refinements and further developments are the subject of the subclaims.
- the object is also achieved by a method for operating a bus system according to the invention with the features specified in claim 6.
- Advantageous refinements and further developments are the subject of the subclaims.
- a bus system comprises a feed module, a consumer module and a data cable which connects the feed module to the consumer module.
- the data cable has at least a first wire, a second wire, a third wire and a fourth wire
- the feed module has at least one DC voltage source which supplies a feed voltage.
- the feed module has a first switch, by means of which the feed voltage supplied by the DC voltage source can be applied between the first wire and the second wire.
- the consumer module has a detection unit which monitors a first voltage present between the first wire and the second wire.
- the consumer module has a control unit, in particular for controlling a drive, which can be supplied by a supply voltage source that supplies a supply voltage.
- the detection unit has a controllable switching unit, which disconnects the control unit from the supply voltage source when the detection unit detects a switch-off signal when monitoring the first voltage.
- an STO signal can be easily and safely transmitted as a switch-off signal from the feed module to the control unit of the consumer module, thereby reliably preventing the generation of torque on the electric drive.
- the existing wires of the data cable are used to transmit the switch-off signal, so there is no additional wiring effort. Furthermore, development costs and installation costs are relatively low.
- the feed module has a second switch, by means of which the feed voltage supplied by the DC voltage source can be applied between the third wire and the fourth wire, and the detection unit monitors a second voltage present between the third wire and the fourth wire.
- the switching unit disconnects the control unit from the supply voltage source when the detection unit detects a switch-off signal while monitoring the second voltage.
- the feed module thus comprises two independent voltage sources for supplying components of the consumer module.
- the first voltage applied between the first wire and the second wire and the second voltage applied between the third wire and the fourth wire are available.
- a switch-off signal can be transmitted via both voltage sources. This redundancy advantageously increases security.
- the detection unit detects a switch-off signal when the first voltage falls below a lower limit and/or when the second voltage falls below a lower limit.
- the first switch When the first switch is opened, the first voltage drops.
- the second switch When the second switch is opened, the second voltage drops.
- Such a voltage drop can be detected relatively quickly and reliably.
- the feed module has a data interface which is connected to the first wire and the second wire via a transformer and at least one capacitor in order to send a differential data signal to the first wire and the second wire.
- the data interface is also via a transformer and at least one Capacitor connected to the third wire and the fourth wire to receive a differential data signal from the third wire and the fourth wire.
- the feed module is therefore designed for data transmission in full duplex mode.
- the data interface is galvanically isolated from the wires of the data cable.
- the consumer module has a data interface which is connected to the first wire and the second wire via a transformer and at least one capacitor in order to receive a differential data signal from the first wire and the second wire.
- the data interface is connected to the third wire and the fourth wire via a transformer and at least one capacitor in order to send a differential data signal to the third wire and the fourth wire.
- the consumer module is therefore designed for data transmission in full duplex mode.
- the data interface is galvanically isolated from the wires of the data cable.
- a switch-off signal is sent from the feed module to the first wire and the second wire.
- the first voltage present between the first wire and the second wire is monitored by the detection unit. If the switch-off signal is detected when monitoring the first voltage, the switching unit is controlled in such a way that the control unit is separated from the supply voltage source.
- an STO signal is transmitted simply and safely from the feed module to the control unit of the consumer module as a switch-off signal. This reliably prevents the generation of torque on the electric drive.
- the feed module has a second switch, by means of which the feed voltage supplied by the DC voltage source can be applied between the third wire and the fourth wire.
- the feed module sends a switch-off signal to the third wire and the fourth wire.
- the second voltage present between the third wire and the fourth wire is monitored by the detection unit. If the switch-off signal is detected when monitoring the second voltage, the switching unit is controlled in such a way that the control unit is separated from the supply voltage source.
- a switch-off signal can therefore be transmitted to the detection unit of the consumer module via two voltage sources. This redundancy advantageously increases security.
- a switch-off signal is sent to the first wire and the second wire by disconnecting the DC voltage source from the first wire and/or from the second wire by opening the first switch.
- a switch-off signal is detected by the detection unit when the first voltage falls below a lower limit value.
- a switch-off signal is sent to the third wire and the fourth wire by disconnecting the DC voltage source from the third wire and the fourth wire by opening the second switch.
- a switch-off signal is detected by the detection unit when the second voltage falls below a lower limit value.
- the first switch and the second switch are closed.
- the first switch When the first switch is opened, the first voltage drops.
- the second switch When the second switch is opened, the second voltage drops. Such a voltage drop is detected relatively quickly and reliably by the detection unit.
- a switch-off signal is sent to the first wire and the second wire by coupling a signal with a defined signal frequency into the first wire and the second wire.
- a switch-off signal is detected by the detection unit when a signal with the signal frequency is detected in the first voltage.
- a switch-off signal is sent to the third wire and the fourth wire by coupling a signal with a defined signal frequency into the third wire and the fourth wire.
- a switch-off signal is detected by the detection unit when a signal with the signal frequency is detected in the second voltage.
- the first voltage and the second voltage continue to be available to supply components of the consumer module even after the switch-off signal has been sent.
- the consumer module has an electronic circuit, for example in the form of a bandpass, from which the signal with the defined signal frequency is recognized.
- a switch-off signal is sent to the first wire and the second wire by briefly disconnecting the DC voltage source from the first wire and/or from the second wire by opening and closing the first switch.
- a switch-off signal is detected by the detection unit when a brief interruption in the first voltage is detected.
- a switch-off signal is sent to the third wire and the fourth wire by briefly disconnecting the DC voltage source from the third wire and/or from the fourth wire by opening and closing the second switch.
- a switch-off signal is detected by the detection unit when a brief interruption in the second voltage is detected.
- the consumer module has an electronic circuit, for example in the form of a high pass, which detects a brief interruption in the first voltage and the second voltage.
- the control unit has an evaluation unit which monitors the first voltage present between the first wire and the second wire and the second voltage present between the third wire and the fourth wire. If the switch-off signal is detected when monitoring the first voltage and/or when monitoring the second voltage, the control unit is disconnected from the supply voltage source. In addition to the detection unit, the control unit also monitors the voltages present between the wires and disconnects the control unit from the supply voltage source when the switch-off signal is detected. This additional redundancy further increases security.
