  • Configuration method for a wiring system
    Patent number: 10044557
    Abstract: A method (100) for configuring a wireless connection (30) between a control component (10) and a first field component (20) of a wiring system (11). Circuit information (40) of the wiring system (11) is first provided. A wired connection (42) between the control component (10) and the first field component (20) is then captured. A first radio network address (12) is then assigned to the control component (10), wherein the first radio network address (12) corresponds to a first end (46) of the wired connection (42). Similarly, a second radio network address (22) is assigned to the first field component (20), wherein the second radio network address (22) corresponds to a second end (48) of the wired connection (42). Linkage information (50) that includes the first and second radio network addresses (12, 22) is then provided to the control component (10) to define a wireless connection (30) between the control component (10) and the first field component (20).

  • System and method for developing reusable flexible and platform independent software using components
    Patent number: 6370682
    Abstract: Re-use and platform independence of application software is achieved by using component types comprising an interface and a body. This is followed by automatically generating components based on the developed component types. The development process steps are preceded by an adaptation process step, during which the functionality of all component types is defined for all the platforms.
