Mobiles Bediengerät für mehrere IndustriegeräteMobile control device for several industrial devices
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein mobiles Bediengerät für Industriegeräte, das als Taschencomputer oder Mobilfunkgerät ausgestaltet ist, mit einer Schnittstelleneinrichtung zur Verbindung mit den Industriegeräten und einer Software zur Kommunikation über die Schnittstelleneinrichtung. Darüber hinaus betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein entsprechendes Verfahren zum Bedienen von mindestens zwei verschiedenen Industriegeräten unterschiedlicher Funktionalität.The present invention relates to a mobile operating device for industrial devices, which is designed as a pocket computer or mobile radio device, with an interface device for connection to the industrial devices and software for communication via the interface device. In addition, the present invention relates to a corresponding method for operating at least two different industrial devices with different functionality.
Für Industrieautomatisierungsgeräte werden zur Vor-Ort- Diagnose, -Steuerung und -bedienung jeweils spezifische Bedienelemente entwickelt . Diese sind auf Grund der Entwicklungskosten verhältnismäßig teuer und besitzen nur einen geringen funktionalen Umfang. Beispielsweise sind die Anzeigemöglichkeiten und die Möglichkeiten zur Dateneingabe sehr be- schränkt.Specific control elements are developed for on-site diagnostics, control and operation for industrial automation devices. These are relatively expensive due to the development costs and have only a small functional scope. For example, the display options and the options for entering data are very limited.
Ein derartiges Bediengerät ist von der Firma Schneider bekannt und unter http//www. schneiderelectric .de/produkte/antrieb/powersuite näher beschrieben. Demnach wird ein Pocket-PC bzw. Taschencomputer dazu verwendet, um Frequenzumrichter in Betrieb zu nehmen und abzugleichen. Für den Kunden bedeutet dies jedoch, dass für jede Gerätefamilie ein eigenes Bediengerät erforderlich ist.Such an operating device is known from the Schneider company and is available at http // www. schneiderelectric .de / products / drive / powersuite described in more detail. Accordingly, a pocket PC or pocket computer is used to start up and adjust frequency converters. For the customer, however, this means that a separate operator panel is required for each device family.
Darüber hinaus werden zur Bedienung von Industriegeräten PCs und Laptops eingesetzt. Diese sind jedoch auf Grund Ihres Gewichts, der Größe, der KabelVerbindung, der Spannungsversorgung etc. nur bedingt für den mobilen Vor-Ort-Einsatz geeig- net. Sie verfügen beispielsweise über entsprechende Bedien- und Beobachtungssoftwarepakete unter Windows. Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, die Bedienung von Industriegeräten komfortabler zu gestalten.In addition, PCs and laptops are used to operate industrial devices. However, due to their weight, size, cable connection, power supply, etc., they are only suitable for mobile on-site use to a limited extent. For example, you have the corresponding operating and monitoring software packages under Windows. The object of the present invention is therefore to make the operation of industrial devices more convenient.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch ein mobiles Bediengerät für Industriegeräte, das als Taschencomputer oder Mobilfunkgerät ausgestaltet ist, mit einer Schnittstelleneinrichtung zur Verbindung mit den Industriegeräten und einer Software zur Kommunikation über die Schnittstelleneinrichtung, wobei die Software zur Kommunikation mit mindestens zwei Industriegeräten unterschiedlicher Funktionalität konfigurierbar ist .According to the invention, this object is achieved by a mobile operating device for industrial devices, which is designed as a pocket computer or mobile radio device, with an interface device for connection to the industrial devices and software for communication via the interface device, the software for communication with at least two industrial devices with different functionality being configurable ,
Ferner ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ein Verfahren zum Bedienen von mindestens zwei verschiedenen Industriegeräten un- terschiedlicher Funktionalität durch Bereitstellen eines Bediengeräts, das als Taschencomputer oder Mobilfunkgerät ausgestaltet ist, Laden einer Software in das Bediengerät zur Kommunikation über mindestens eine Schnittstelle des Bediengeräts, Konfigurieren der Software zur Bedienung eines ersten der mindestens zwei Industriegeräte durch Laden einer ersten Konfigurationsdatei in die Software, sowie Umkonfigurieren der Software zur Bedienung eines zweiten der mindestens zwei Industriegeräte durch Laden einer zweiten Konfigurationsdatei in die Software.Furthermore, the invention provides a method for operating at least two different industrial devices of different functionality by providing an operating device which is designed as a pocket computer or mobile radio device, loading software into the operating device for communication via at least one interface of the operating device, configuring the software for operation a first of the at least two industrial devices by loading a first configuration file into the software, and reconfiguring the software for operating a second of the at least two industrial devices by loading a second configuration file into the software.
Mit einem derartigen mobilen Bediengerät auf der Basis eines Taschencomputers (z.B. Handheld, Organizer, Pocket Computer bzw. PDA) ist es möglich, mehrere unterschiedliche Industriegeräte beispielsweise im Bereich der Anlagenautomatisierung zu bedienen. Derartige Industriegeräte wären beispielsweise Motorstarter, Frequenzumrichter, Sanftstarter, Motorschutzgeräte und dergleichen. Dies bedeutet, dass mit einem einzigen mobilen Gerät und einer einzigen darauf installierten Software unterschiedliche Gerätetypen angesteuert werden können. Dabei wird unter dem Begriff "unterschiedliche Gerätetypen" verstanden, dass die zugeordneten Geräte unterschiedliche Funktionen, Hardware und Software besitzen, sowie einen un- terschiedlichen Umfang und Inhalt an Parametern, Steuerdaten, Diagnosedaten, Messwerten und Statistikdaten handhaben.With such a mobile operating device based on a pocket computer (eg handheld, organizer, pocket computer or PDA) it is possible to operate several different industrial devices, for example in the area of plant automation. Such industrial devices would be, for example, motor starters, frequency converters, soft starters, motor protection devices and the like. This means that different device types can be controlled with a single mobile device and a single software installed on it. The term “different device types” is understood to mean that the assigned devices have different functions, hardware and software, as well as an Manage different scope and content of parameters, control data, diagnostic data, measured values and statistical data.
Erfindungsgemäß ist damit ein leichtes, handliches Gerät ge- schaffen, das keines Hardwareentwicklungsaufwandes bedarf. So kann beispielsweise jeder Taschencomputer bzw. PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) hierfür verwendet werden. Die teuren PDAs erhalten somit ein zusätzliches Anwendungsgebiet und sind nicht wie bisherige Bediengeräte nur für ein oder wenige In- dustriegerate einer Gerätefamilie geeignet. Realisieren lässt sich die Bediengerätefunktion beispielsweise über eine plattformunabhängige Software (WinCE/PALMOS) . Mit Hilfe eines solchen Bediengerätes können aber auch aufwändige Bedienelemente an dem jeweiligen Bediengerät entfallen, da diese beispiels- weise an dem PDA bereits vorhanden sind. Unter Ausnutzung der Schnittstellen des Taschencomputers oder Mobilfunkgeräts kann ferner eine Anbindung an vorhandene Tools auf einem PC erfolgen.According to the invention, this creates a light, handy device that does not require any hardware development effort. For example, any pocket computer or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) can be used for this. The expensive PDAs thus have an additional area of application and, unlike previous operating devices, are only suitable for one or a few industrial rates in a device family. The operating device function can be implemented, for example, using platform-independent software (WinCE / PALMOS). With the help of such an operating device, however, complex operating elements on the respective operating device can also be omitted, since these are already present on the PDA, for example. Using the interfaces of the pocket computer or mobile radio device, it is also possible to connect to existing tools on a PC.
Vorzugsweise wird in die Software zur Kommunikation eine Konfigurationsdatei, d.h. eine Textdatei/Binärdatei zur Beschreibung des Geräts, geladen. Die Software sollte dann über einen entsprechenden Decoder zum Interpretieren der Konfigurationsdatei verfügen.Preferably, a configuration file, i.e. a text file / binary file to describe the device. The software should then have an appropriate decoder for interpreting the configuration file.
Das mobile Bediengerät kann ferner über eine Visualisierungs- einheit zum Visualisieren von Kommunikations- und/oder Konfigurationsdaten verfügen. Damit könnten beispielsweise Mess- und Diagnosewerte grafisch, tabellarisch und textuell darge- stellt werden.The mobile operating device can also have a visualization unit for visualizing communication and / or configuration data. This could be used, for example, to display measured and diagnostic values graphically, in tabular form and textually.
Durch die in dem Bediengerät installierte Software sind vorzugsweise Diagnose-, Bedien- und/oder Parametrierfunktionen implementiert. Damit können beispielsweise die Einstellungen des PDA nicht nur angezeigt, sondern auch editiert, gespeichert, geladen, importiert oder exportiert werden. Die Schnittstelleneinrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise eine Standardschnittstelle, wie eine IrDA-, RS232- und/oder Bluetooth- Schnittstelle. Da fast alle microcontrollergesteuerten Industrieautomatisierungsgeräte eine derartige Standardschnitt- stelle aufweisen, kann diese für Steuer-, Diagnose- und Para- metrierfunktionen genutzt werden.Diagnostic, operating and / or parameterizing functions are preferably implemented by the software installed in the operating device. For example, the PDA settings can not only be displayed, but also edited, saved, loaded, imported or exported. The interface device preferably comprises a standard interface, such as an IrDA, RS232 and / or Bluetooth interface. Since almost all microcontroller-controlled industrial automation devices have such a standard interface, this can be used for control, diagnostic and parameterization functions.
Vorteilhafterweise sind die mindestens zwei Industriegeräte mit unterschiedlicher Funktionalität mit einem einzigen Da- tensatzprotokoll ansprechbar. Damit kann ein standardisiertes mediumunabhängiges Datensatzprotokoll verwendet werden, was zur Kostenoptimierung beiträgt.The at least two industrial devices with different functionality can advantageously be addressed with a single data record protocol. This means that a standardized medium-independent data record protocol can be used, which contributes to cost optimization.
Des Weiteren kann in dem mobilen Bediengerät eine Archivie- rungseinrichtung zur Archivierung einer Parametrierung vorgesehen sein. Damit können mehrere Einstellungen eines Geräts oder einer Vielzahl von Geräten abgespeichert und rasch wieder aufgerufen werden. Gleiches kann für die Einstellungen (z.B. Schnittstelle) der Software gelten.Furthermore, an archiving device for archiving a parameterization can be provided in the mobile operating device. This allows multiple settings of a device or a large number of devices to be saved and recalled quickly. The same can apply to the settings (e.g. interface) of the software.
Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert, die ein Blockschaltbild eines erfindungsgemäßen Bediengeräts in seinem funktioneilen Zusammenhang zeigt .The present invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a block diagram of an operating device according to the invention in its functional context.
Die nachfolgend näher beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele stellen bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung dar .The exemplary embodiments described in more detail below represent preferred embodiments of the present invention.
Das in der Figur mit Hilfe eines Blockdiagramms wiedergegebene Bediengerät besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Hardwareeinheit 1 und einem Softwarepaket 2. Als Hardware 1 bzw. als Hardwareplattform wird im vorliegenden Beispiel die eines handelsüblichen PDA eingesetzt. Sie umfasst eine oder mehrere der Schnittstellen IrDA 11, RS232 12 und Bluetooth 13 oder dergleichen. Mit diesen Schnittstellen ist das anzusteuernde Industriegerät 3 ansprechbar. Je nach Konfiguration der Soft- wäre 2 sind mit der Hardware auch beliebige andere, nicht dargestellte, Industriegeräte ansteuerbar.The operating device shown in the figure with the aid of a block diagram essentially consists of a hardware unit 1 and a software package 2. The hardware 1 or hardware platform used in the present example is that of a commercially available PDA. It comprises one or more of the interfaces IrDA 11, RS232 12 and Bluetooth 13 or the like. The industrial device 3 to be controlled can be addressed with these interfaces. Depending on the configuration of the software would be 2 any other industrial devices, not shown, can be controlled with the hardware.
Auf dem PDA 1 läuft die Software 2, die die Automatisierungs- gerate 3 über ein einziges Datensatzprotokoll ansteuert. Dies bedeutet, dass die Automatisierungsgeräte 3 dieses Protokoll verstehen müssen. Daher handelt es sich um ein standardisiertes mediumunabhängiges Datensatzprotokoll.The software 2 runs on the PDA 1 and controls the automation devices 3 via a single data record protocol. This means that the automation devices 3 must understand this protocol. Therefore, it is a standardized medium-independent data record protocol.
Die Software 2 besteht im Wesentlichen aus drei Teilen, einem Decoder 21, einer Visualisierungsumgebung bzw. Visualisierungseinheit 22 und einer Treibereinheit 23. Der Decoder 21 dient als Interpreter, der den Inhalt eines extern oder intern bereitgestellten Devicefiles 4 (Beschreibungs- bzw. Kon- figurationsdatei) interpretiert. In dem Devicefile 4 ist das Automatisierungsgerät 3 beschrieben. Dementsprechend sind dort die Inhalte der Datensätze, das Darstellungsformat (Zahl, Text usw.), die Eingabemδglichkeiten und dergleichen definiert . Diese Konfigurationsmerkmale sollten für sämtliche Geräte bzw. Geräteaufbauten einheitlich sein. Zusätzlich können in der Datei die verfügbaren Übertragungsmedien sowie Freiheitsgrade im Übertragungsprotokoll, z.B. Timeout, Bandrate, beschrieben sein.The software 2 essentially consists of three parts, a decoder 21, a visualization environment or visualization unit 22 and a driver unit 23. The decoder 21 serves as an interpreter, which contains the content of an externally or internally provided device file 4 (description or configuration file ) interpreted. The automation device 3 is described in the device file 4. Accordingly, the content of the data records, the display format (number, text, etc.), the input options and the like are defined there. These configuration features should be uniform for all devices or device structures. In addition, the available transmission media and degrees of freedom in the transmission protocol, e.g. Timeout, band rate.
Die Visualisierungseinheit 22 dient zur Anzeige von Datensätzen. Es kann zwischen den einzelnen Datensätzen/Daten hin- und hergesprungen werden. Die dargestellten Daten können aber auch verändert werden, indem die Visualisierungseinheit 22 beispielsweise als grafische Bedienoberfläche genutzt wird. In diesem Fall kann die Kommunikation mit den Industriegeräten 3 über die Visualisierungsumgebung angefordert werden. Vorzugsweise ist die Visualisierungsumgebung für alle Geräte 3 einheitlich ausgestaltet.The visualization unit 22 is used to display data records. You can jump back and forth between the individual data records / data. The data shown can also be changed, for example, by using the visualization unit 22 as a graphical user interface. In this case, communication with the industrial devices 3 can be requested via the visualization environment. The visualization environment is preferably configured uniformly for all devices 3.
Zur Anbindung an die Systemschnittstellen besitzt das erfindungsgemäße Bediengerät eine Treibereinheit 23, die nicht nur mit dem Decoder 21 und der Visualisierungseinheit 22, sondern auch mit den Hardwareschnittstellen 11, 12 und 13 in Verbindung steht. In dieser als Schnittstellenanbindung verwendeten Treibereinheit werden die Datensätze mit dem entsprechenden Protokoll an die einzelnen physikalischen Schnittstellen 11, 12 und 13 verteilt.To connect to the system interfaces, the operating device according to the invention has a driver unit 23, which not only works with the decoder 21 and the visualization unit 22, but also is also connected to the hardware interfaces 11, 12 and 13. In this driver unit used as an interface connection, the data records are distributed to the individual physical interfaces 11, 12 and 13 using the corresponding protocol.
Erfindungsgemäß kann somit ein einziges Bediengerät für unterschiedliche Automatisierungsgeräte auch von unterschiedlichen Firmen hergestellt werden. Hierzu wird ein handelsübli- eher PDA oder dergleichen bzw. ein Mobilfunkgerät , z.B. ein Handy, als Hardwareplattform verwendet. Auf dieser Hardwareplattform läuft eine einzige Software, die mit entsprechenden Devicefiles an die zu bedienenden Geräte anpassbar ist . According to the invention, a single operating device for different automation devices can thus also be manufactured by different companies. For this purpose, a commercially available PDA or the like or a mobile radio device, e.g. a cell phone, used as a hardware platform. A single piece of software runs on this hardware platform, which can be adapted to the devices to be operated using appropriate device files.
