  • Patent number: 11473160
    Abstract: A method for producing a cold-rolled flat steel product coated with a metallic anticorrosion layer includes producing a steel melt containing in addition to iron and unavoidable impurities (in % by wt.): C: 0.01-0.35%, Mn: 1-4%, Si: 0.5-2.5%, Nb: to 0.1%, Ti: 0.015-0.1%, P: up to 0.1%, Al: to 0.15%, S: up to 0.01%, N: up to 0.1%, and optionally one or more elements from a group of rare earth metals. The method further includes casting the steel melt to give a preliminary product, hot-rolling the preliminary product to give a hot strip, coiling the hot strip to give a coil, annealing the hot strip, cold-rolling the annealed hot strip to give a cold-rolled flat steel product, finally annealing the cold-rolled flat steel product, and applying a metal anticorrosion layer based on zinc by electrolytic galvanization or hot dip galvanization of the cold-rolled and finally annealed flat steel product.

  • Patent number: 7173543
    Abstract: A measuring transducer with a sensor for converting a detected measured value into a sensor signal. The sensor signal is processed in a signal processing device to form a measuring signal that is transmitted to a central location via a data interface. The data interface is also used as a conduit for signals to parameterize the measuring transducer. The measuring transducer includes a device that provides a simulated measuring signal that can be transmitted to the central location on request via the data interface instead of the detected measured value. Further, a function can be performed on the simulated measuring signal before it is transmitted or a sequence of simulated measuring values can be transmitted corresponding to particular operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 7054765
    Abstract: A measuring transducer having a sensor (2) transforming a measured parameter, recorded by the sensor, into an electrical sensor signal (3), a signal processing unit (6), adapted to convert the sensor signal into a measurement signal (7) and to generate an error message signal (11), and a data interface (8) transmitting the measured signal and the error report signal. In order to enable error events external to the measuring transducer (1) to be recorded in a simple manner, the measuring transducer includes a control input (15) other than the data interface (8). This control input is adapted to transmit an error report signal (11) that is generated.
