Abstract: The method and arrangement evaluates communication connections in multi-node networks. Two possible lines are thereby evaluated with fuzzy logic with respect to their performance, their time behavior and their dependability aspects. The intermediate variables derive therefrom which are processed with a principal rule set to form a weighting factor for the respective line. A routing method that is to define the shortest path for a communication connection employs this weighting factor in order to determine the corresponding connection. The method and arrangement especially beneficially realized in a multi-node network.

Abstract: The present invention is a switch actuating unit having at least one electrical or electromechanical limiting position switch, actuatable by a mechanical sensing device. This unit structurally combines the mechanical sensing device and the electrical switches such that the switches are activated in at least two limiting positions by a common actuating plunger. The plunger extends from either side of the unit and actuates the switches upon engagement with a stop or flange plate defining each of the limit positions. Furthermore, the sensing device and switches are structurally combined so as to be moveable together.
