Publication number: 20240056418Abstract: A method for address configuration for a master/slave system via a field bus for serial data transmission, wherein a master unit is connected to the field bus, is characterized in that a number range for addresses of slave units on the field bus is divided into a static range and a dynamic range, that at least one new slave unit is connected to the field bus, that a respective initial field bus address from the dynamic range is programmed into the at least one new slave unit, via which initial field bus address the at least one new slave unit can respectively be addressed. The master unit queries the dynamic range of the addresses of slave units, the master unit receives a respective response message from the at least one new slave unit to the query, and the master unit transmits a target field bus address.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Norbert STRACK, Jürgen EGGELING, Reiner WITTENHORST

Patent number: 9845631Abstract: Disclosed herein is a drive arrangement for motor-operated adjustment of a closure element in a motor vehicle having at least one drive with a drive motor, and a drive controller. The closure element can be driven in the motor-operated adjustment mode by the drive motor in the closing direction and in the opening direction between a closed and an open position. The drive is non-self-locking and has a sensor, in particular a Hall sensor, for sensing the drive movement. The drive controller monitors the sensor signals for a fault state, and when a fault state is sensed initiates an emergency braking and/or stop mode. The drive arrangement comprises two drives each with a sensor for determining the respective drive movement. To detect drive-fault-induced slamming shut of the closure element, the drive controller correlates the sensor signals of the two sensors, in particular compares said sensor signals.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2009Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Brose Schliesssysteme GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9577553Abstract: The invention relates to a drive arrangement for the motor-operated adjustment of an adjusting element in a motor vehicle, wherein the drive arrangement comprises two electrical drives having in each case a drive motor and a control device, wherein in the assembled state the drives act in the same manner on the adjusting element and are embodied in an essentially identical manner apart from deviations that are a result of tolerances, wherein the control device influences the two drive motors by a pulse width modulation voltage (“PWM” voltage). It is proposed that the control device influences the two drive motors by PWM voltages having PWM switching frequencies that vary continuously during the adjustment process in such a manner that the PWM switching frequencies that are allocated to the two drive motors are different from each other at least for periods of time.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2013Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG, HallstadtInventors: Juergen Eggeling, Dirk Hellmich, Klaus Duenne

Patent number: 9404304Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a flap arrangement of a motor vehicle, wherein the flap arrangement has a flap wing and a control arrangement, wherein a flap drive which is assigned to the flap wing and by which the flap wing can be adjusted between a closed position and an open position in an adjustment process is provided, wherein at least one predetermined flap operator control event is detected by means of the control arrangement and the flap drive is actuated as a technical control reaction to a flap operator control event. It is proposed that by means of the control arrangement the technical control reaction of stopping or continuing an adjustment process, which is due to two successive flap operator control events, is suppressed if at least one suppression condition is detected.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2012Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG, HallstadtInventors: Dirk Hellmich, Juergen Eggeling, Klaus Duenne

Patent number: 9045921Abstract: Described herein is a method for operating a hatch arrangement of a motor vehicle wherein a motor vehicle lock is controlled by means of a control arrangement in a relatch routine in such a way that a renewed latch state (a relatch state) is avoided or cancelled within a predetermined relatch time interval after the releasing process, and wherein in a relatch monitoring process the control arrangement monitors whether a relatch indication, in particular a relatch state, occurs within the predetermined relatch time interval after the releasing process and only then is the relatch routine triggered.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: BROSE FAHRZEUGTEILE GMBH & CO. KG, HALLSTADTInventors: Juergen Eggeling, Dirk Hellmich, Klaus Duenne

Patent number: 9026313Abstract: The invention relates to a drive arrangement for the motorized adjustment of a flap arrangement for a motor vehicle, with a drive controller for producing a desired flap adjustment by means of at least one drive, wherein the flap arrangement is configured with two flap wings, wherein the two flap wings are each substantially pivotable about a respective spaced-apart, parallel pivot axis and, in the closed state, are in engagement with each other via a respective free wing end opposite the respective pivot axis. The two flap wings are assigned collision pivoting regions which are mounted upstream of the respective closed position and in which the movement regions of the flap wings overlap in such a manner that a predetermined opening and closing sequence has to be observed there in order to avoid collisions between the free wing ends.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG, HallstadtInventors: Juergen Eggeling, Klaus Duenne, Dirk Hellmich

Patent number: 8766563Abstract: Described herein is a drive arrangement for the motor-driven adjustment of an adjustable element in a motor vehicle, the drive arrangement having two electrical drives and a control device, the drives, in the fitted state, acting in the same way on the adjustable element and having a substantially identical configuration, apart from tolerance-related discrepancies. The control device has a power controller which, in the fitted state, during the motor-driven adjustment of the adjustable element, subjects the electrical power that is output respectively to the two drives to closed-loop control, for the purpose of compensating for the tolerance-related discrepancies, in such a way that an identical electrical power consumption is established for both drives.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2009Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.
