  • Patent number: 11934158
    Abstract: A method of providing operating parameters of an automation device via a configuration system comprising: detection of a pre-selection of the automation device via a user interface of the configuration system; detection of a target value of a first operating parameter of the automation device via the user interface; calculation of a limit value of a second operating parameter of the automation device in dependence on the target value of the first operating parameter, wherein the dependence of the second operating parameter on the first operating parameter is calculated using a device model of the automation device; and output of the limit value of the second operating parameter via the user interface of the configuration system.

  • Patent number: 11698386
    Abstract: An encoder device for determining a kinematic value of the movement of a first object relative to a second object is provided, wherein the encoder device comprises a standard associated with the first object and at least one scanning unit associated with the second object for producing at least one scanning signal by detection of the standard and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to determine the kinematic value from the scanning signal. The control and evaluation unit is here further configured to determine the kinematic value by an evaluation of the scanning signal using a method of machine learning, with the evaluation being trained with a plurality of scanning signals and associated kinematic values.
