  • Patent number: 11818859
    Abstract: A carrier-rail bus assembly including a number of n mechanically contiguous bus-circuit-plate sections electrically connected via bus-circuit paths and installed in a carrier rail, an electronic control unit being configured such that it detects whether an apparatus is inserted in an installation position i, respective installation position i being allotted a bus address, which is assigned to the apparatus inserted on the carrier rail on the respective bus-circuit-plate section in respective installation position i. A related method for assigning a bus address is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150301087
    Abstract: A differential current measuring module is composed of a housing that encases a current transformer core and a printed circuit board, the current transformer core surrounding a line duct of the housing and having at least one secondary winding. The differential current measuring module is characterized in that in the line duct, at least one primary conductor is led out on a top side of the housing to be connected to an external electrical feed line and whose other end protrudes out of a bottom side of the housing and is provided with a solder terminal. The principle idea is based on continuing the electrical line to be monitored, in sections, as a primary conductor in the effective area of the current transformer core so as to advantageously arrive at a differential current measuring device whose integration is constructionally simple and which offers an uncomplicated connecting option.
