Abstract: A patchboard includes a plurality of honeycomb components which each have a box-shaped housing having two faces and four side surfaces. The two faces each have a connection region. At least two of the side surfaces have a latching element for connecting to another honeycomb component, and at least two of the honeycomb components have different cross-sections. The width and/or height of a honeycomb component having a larger cross-section is a multiple of the width and/or height of a honeycomb component having a smaller cross-section. The number of latching elements of a side surface having a greater width or greater height of a honeycomb component having a larger cross-section is a corresponding multiple of the number of latching elements of a side surface having a smaller width or smaller height of a honeycomb component having a smaller cross-section.

Abstract: Processing and transmitting of data within a functionally safe electronic system having at least two subsystems, each of which comprises at least one safety component, and each of which complies with a specific safety level for functionally safe data processing. Embodiments process data using the safety component of a first one of the subsystems into functionally safe data of a first safety level, and add an indication attribute indicating suitability of these data for use of this first safety level; transmitting the data to a second one of the subsystems; and checking the received indication attribute, by the second subsystem using the safety component, to determine whether the safety level indicated by this indication attribute is different from the safety level the second subsystem complies with; and, if the check reveals non-equal safety levels, further processing the data in functionally a safe manner based on the lower safety level.

Abstract: The object of the invention is an ignition circuit for a series connection of at least two spark gaps for limiting overvoltages with medium and high power, particularly overvoltages corresponding to pulse shapes 8/20 ?s and 10/350 ?s with amplitudes of about 10 kA to about 200 kA (class I arrester). The spark gaps are each equipped with at least one auxiliary electrode. The ignition circuit has a first varistor and a second varistor, with the ignition circuit being particularly suited to limiting overvoltages with medium power, particularly overvoltages corresponding to pulse shape 8/20 ?s with amplitudes of about 10 to about 100 kA (class II arrester). The ignition circuit is designed to be connected to the auxiliary electrodes, with the ignition circuit Z having two ignition subcircuits. The first ignition subcircuit TZ1 has the first varistor VAR1 and is designed to ignite the first spark gap. The second ignition subcircuit has the second varistor and is designed to ignite the second spark gap.
Abstract: A system for providing an individually configured small control system. A list of possible individual configuration settings for configurable small control systems is kept ready in a configuration device and, from the list, by means of the individual selection and combination of individual configuration settings, an individual overall configuration setting of a small control system to be configured is predefined. An optical code is generated based on the predefinition of the individual overall configuration setting, within which code all the necessary data for provisioning the small control system to be configured individually on the basis of the individual overall configuration setting is stored. The optical code is provided to a process control apparatus, which reads and decodes said code and, on the basis of the data stored therein, controls the logistical process as far as the provision of the individually configured small control system based on the individual overall configuration setting.
Abstract: An insulating housing of an electrical terminal device includes a latching pin arranged on a front side of the housing and that protrudes therefrom in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the front side of the housing, the latching pin engaging in a latching hole arranged on a rear side of the housing in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the rear side of the housing, and a latching hook that protrudes from the front side of the housing and that engages in and latches behind a catch arranged on the rear side of the housing. The latching pin and the latching hole are in the shape of a truncated cone. A plurality of the insulating housings is capable of being plugged on top of one another to form an electrical terminal block.
Abstract: The object of the invention is a device for detecting an overcurrent, having a current meter, a first counter, and a switch, wherein the current meter measures a current through the device, with the switch being capable of interrupting a current flow through the device, wherein, if the current meter measures a current that exceeds a first current threshold, the first counter is changed by a first increment in a first direction, wherein, if the current meter measures a current that exceeds a second current threshold, the first counter is changed by a second increment in the first direction, with the second current threshold being quantitatively greater than the first current threshold, and with the second increment being quantitatively greater than the first increment, wherein, after a change in the counter, the first counter is compared with a first counter threshold, and if the counter threshold has been reached or exceeded, the switch is actuated continuously such that the current flow is interrupted, and o
