Abstract: Method for controlling the operation of at least one machine (1), which is in particular configured to carry out pick-and-place or singulation tasks on objects (2), wherein the machine (1) comprises at least one functional device that comprises at least one functional element for carrying out at least one task, wherein the operation of the machine (1) is controlled on the basis of control information in order to carry out the at least one task, wherein the control information is generated on the basis of a plurality of task parameter types (APT) that relate to the operation of the machine (1) in order to carry out the task, wherein the task parameter types (APT) are stored on at least one data storage device (10) in a linked manner on the basis of predefined links specific to the task parameter types.

Abstract: Method for controlling the operation of an industrial robot configured in particular to carry out pick-and-place or singulation tasks.

Abstract: BUS system, method of operating a BUS system, and fluidic system with a BUS system, the BUS system comprising a multitude of users. Information regarding an allocation feature is transmitted to the users of the BUS system by other users of a group of users of the BUS system and by the respective users themselves.

Abstract: A fluid control head of a fluid controlling or fluid measuring device has a onepiece outer housing which includes a surrounding shell surface, an open face side formed by a first opening and facing the device, and a lateral bulge having a lateral, more particularly radial opening in the shell surface. The outer housing is a one-piece housing shaped by hydroforming.

Abstract: A control head of a fluid measuring device (20, 40) has an outer housing (32) which has a surrounding shell surface (34), an open face side formed by a first opening (50) and facing the device (20, 30), an opposite open face side formed by a second opening (52), and a lateral opening (36) in the shell surface (34). The second opening (52) and the lateral opening (36) have substantially the same opening cross-section. The control head further has first and second closure units (60, 62) which each include a cover and a surrounding luminous ring (66) positioned on a housing side of the cover, the covers of the first and second closure units (60, 62) each being adapted to be configured as a blind cover (64) or as an electronic display (68), and each closure unit (60, 62) being adapted to be releasably coupled to the outer housing (32) both at the second opening (52) and at the lateral opening (36) to close the respective opening (36, 52).

Abstract: A device, a fluidic system, a BUS system and a method of operating this BUS system are indicated. The BUS system includes a multitude of users which are producers and/or consumers of at least one process value. Information regarding at least one allocation feature is transmitted to the users of the BUS system by the users of a group of users of the BUS system and by the respective users of the groups themselves. The allocation feature is determined by the at least one process value produced and/or consumed by the respective users.

Abstract: An electronic unit of a fluid sensor or fluid valve has a substantially cylindrical housing with a longitudinal axis and an open end face, which can be closed by a lid, several spacers formed as separate parts, which can be introduced into the housing in direction of the longitudinal axis and are directly stacked on top of each other. At least one spacer at least one electronic component is attached, which together with the spacer forms a premounted unit to be introduced into the housing.

Abstract: Diverse requirements of fluidic applications for very different communication environments are satisfied with a control unit for fluidic systems, which can be configured in an extremely flexible manner. A universal computing module is used as a unitary stock item, which includes a programmable logic module, a clock generator, a volatile fast working memory, and a persistent memory, and which is constructed with few peripheral components on a circuit board. The unitary computing module is equipped with all of the required hardware components for the respective application by configuration file, including the functionality for the respective communication environment. Moreover, a dynamic configuration by identification of communication modules connected to the circuit board is also possible. Similarly, reconfiguration in adaptation to a varied environment can be effected.
