Abstract: A method for automatically calibrating a rocker-type sensor module having a position or acceleration sensor involves measuring a position of the sensor module as an angle relative to a fixed spatial direction, and outputting an output signal that depends on whether the measured angle is less than or greater than a switching angle. The output signal is set to a first output value if the measured angle exceeds the switching angle. The switching angle is set to a value corresponding to the measured angle minus an “off” free pivot angle, as long as the value of the measured angle continues to increase. The output signal is set to a second output value if the measured angle falls below the switching angle. The switching angle is set to a value corresponding to the measured angle plus an “on” free pivot angle, as long as the value of the measured angle continues to fall.

Abstract: A radio sensor module for detecting material containers in a storage or transport system includes a transmission device for the wireless transmission of signals. The radio sensor module has a holder and a rocker pivotably mounted therein. A sensor for detecting a position of the rocker and the transmission device are arranged in the rocker.

Abstract: A switch device includes at least one switch element actuated by a cam of a camshaft. The cam is a three-dimensional cam and the at least one switch element is arranged so as to be displaceable substantially parallel to an axis of the camshaft in order to adjust a switch point.

Abstract: A mounting of a sensor module for use in a storage or transport system, for securing the sensor module to a support of the storage or transport system. The mounting has a clamping device for clamping the mounting to the support, and the clamping device includes at least one slide which is guided in a linearly movable manner and latches in a plurality of latch positions.

Abstract: A foot switch includes at least one pedal rotationally mounted for actuating about at least two axes arranged at an angle with respect to each other. A stop device that can stop a movement of the pedal about one of the two axes is provided.
