  • Patent number: 11563598
    Abstract: An EtherCAT fieldbus system has an EtherCAT master and a number of EtherCAT slaves. The EtherCAT master and the number of EtherCAT slaves are coupled together by an EtherCAT fieldbus in order to exchange data. A method ascertains active EtherCAT slaves by way of the EtherCAT master; requests respective product codes of the active EtherCAT slaves by way of the master; ascertains a respective device identification of the active EtherCAT slaves from the respective product codes by way of the EtherCAT master, and switches the state of the EtherCAT fieldbus system into the operational state by way of the EtherCAT master if the respective device identification of the active EtherCAT slaves matches a specified device identification.

  • Patent number: 11336751
    Abstract: A method operates a field bus system, wherein the field bus system has: a gateway, which has a network connection for a network of a specified type and a fieldbus connection for a fieldbus, and a number of fieldbus nodes, wherein the fieldbus nodes are coupled to each other and to the gateway via the fieldbus for the purpose of data exchange. Addressing takes place in the network of the specified type by network addresses, wherein the network addresses have a first part which designates a destination address, and a second part which designates a port of the destination address. The method comprises the steps of: creating a bus configuration, wherein the bus configuration assigns a destination address to a port, and performing a network address translation using the gateway based on the bus configuration created.

  • Patent number: 11162873
    Abstract: A tire comprises an inner surface defining and facing an inner hollow space, an outer surface pointing away from the inner hollow space. A method of processing the tire comprises identifying the position of a first feature on the outer surface and cleaning a surface portion of the inner surface of the tire, wherein the surface portion has a first predetermined position relative to the position of the first feature on the outer surface. A separate element is attached with its attachment surface to the surface portion, wherein a ratio of a size of the surface portion over a corresponding size of the attachment surface is smaller than 10.

  • Patent number: 9389417
    Abstract: The invention relates to a scanner device having a mirror arranged so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation, an iron core with an air gap, a coil arranged about a portion of the iron core, and two permanent magnets. The two magnets have differently directed magnetizations and are arranged inside the air gap at different angular rotation positions with respect to the axis of rotation. An armature made of a soft-magnetic material is arranged on the mirror in such a manner that the armature is residing inside the air gap and, by means of application of electric current to the coil, the armature is moved toward one of the two magnets, depending on the direction of the current, and the mirror rotates.

  • Patent number: 9024231
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for guiding a laser beam along a target path, particularly a joint. It has a laser beam input module that guides an incident laser beam onto a swiveling beam guiding device downstream from the laser beam input module. The beam guiding device projects the laser beam onto the target path. Said beam guiding device comprises a tactile sensor connected to the swiveling optic that is designed to perform a tactile scan of the target path and to deflect the swiveling optic appropriately. According to the invention, an intermediate focal point is located in the beam path of the laser beam between laser beam input module and swiveling optic. Moreover, the swivel axis of the swiveling optic runs through the intermediate focal point.
