Publication number: 20250055714Abstract: A secure method for self-(re)calibration or self-calibration of devices, more particularly measuring devices, by the operator, wherein a digitized process flow in a data chain (DLT), more particularly blockchain established and secured using distributed ledge technology, is used. The method includes a digitized process sequence set up in a data chain (DLT), a device is registered with its implemented measuring device properties, an inspection authority gains access to the measurement information from the device, the inspection authority establishes an operative connection between the device and a working standard, the determined measurement data for the working standard are read out in encrypted form and are transmitted to the inspection authority in encrypted form, in the event of successful calibration or gaging of the device, the inspection authority stores this result in the data chain.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Andreas Rathgeb

Patent number: 10198536Abstract: A simulation system in particular for a control system which controls a process running in a technical system is provided. The control system has at least one first process environment embodied as a container and which is also designed to simulate the automatic process to be run in the system and includes corresponding interfaces to the guidance system. The simulation system includes, in addition to the first process environment, a second process environment embodied as a container for simulating the hardware of the periphery of the guidance system and a third process environment embodied as a container for simulating the process to be run in the technical system. In another embodiment, all process environments can also be combined to form one process environment. In both variations, the interfaces of the first process environment and the interfaces of the second process environment are practically identical to the interfaces of the third process environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Andreas Rathgeb, Rainer Speh, Michael Unkelbach
