Patent number: 8416546Abstract: A method for detecting the state of a load device which can be connected to a switching connection, wherein the switching connection can be coupled to, and decoupled from, a predefined switching potential. A voltage drop across the switching connection is used as a basis for detecting whether the load device is connected to the switching connection, the load device is not connected to the switching connection or there is a short circuit between the switching connection and a first or a second switching potential. An additional current source is connected to the switching connection at the same time as the switching connection is decoupled from the predefined switching potential.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2007Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Bastian Arndt, Ralf Förster, Marco Well, Gunther Wolfarth

Patent number: 8283952Abstract: A circuit includes a switching unit, a switching element, and a control unit. The control unit provides at least one supply signal depending on a switching position of the switching element. An advance signal and the supply signal(s) of the control unit are assigned to the switching unit on the input side. The switching unit supplies and controls predetermined components of the switching unit, which are configured to control the switching element in accordance with the advance signal in such a way that the components activate the switching element. The switching unit is also configured to detect the supply signal(s) present once the switching element has been activated and in response thereto to switch to supplying the predetermined components by way of the supply signal(s).Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2009Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Bastian Arndt, Johann Falter, Ralf Foerster, Franz Laberer, Gunther Wolfarth

Patent number: 7719286Abstract: A first voltage, which is dropped out onto a pull-down resistor that is coupled to a first power circuit breaker, is compared to an adjustable first reference voltage in order to determine a first comparative value. A second voltage, which is dropped out onto the pull-up resistor that is coupled to the second power circuit breaker, is compared to an adjustable second reference voltage in order to determine a second comparative value. Determination then occurs according to the first comparative value and second comparative value as to whether the first output pin of the first power circuit breaker and the second output switch of the second power circuit breaker are contacted to each other. The first output pin and second output pin are connected to one another by way of a node outside the power circuit breaker.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Bastian Arndt, Gunther Wolfarth

Publication number: 20080212254Abstract: A control circuit for a switching device with a relay and a switch. The control circuit is configured in such a way as to produce a hold signal for a predetermined period of time when a start signal is supplied thereto. The control circuit is also configured in such a way as to produce the hold signal for the predefined period of time independently of the course of the start signal during the predefined period of time. The control circuit is also configured in order to activate a switch output when at least one of two conditions is met. The switch enables the relay to be supplied with current when the switch output is activated, otherwise it prevents the relay from being supplied with current.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2005Publication date: September 4, 2008Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Bastian Arndt, Ralf Forster, Gunther Wolfarth

Patent number: 7265535Abstract: A circuit configuration providing a diagnostic signal for a power switching device which switches a load has a test circuit, a filter device, a validation device, and a coding device. The test circuit tests the power switching device and generates error symptoms for characterizing error types of different priorities. The filter device, depending on an activation signal activating the power switching device, provides a validity signal for the generated error symptoms. The validity signal specifies the validity of the corresponding error symptom in each case. The validation device validates a generated error symptom depending on the associated validity signal in each case and validates the validated activation signal and from this generates a group of is states and the associated complementary states. The coding device codes the states and complementary states depending on the priorities of the error types assigned to the states and complementary states.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2005Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Bastian Arndt, Ralf Förster, Konstantin Thiveos, Gunther Wolfarth
