Patent number: 6937160Abstract: A sensor arrangement for application to at least one data item, and comprising at least one sensitive element connected by way of sensor electronic circuitry having a storage arrangement with an input/output port. This input/output port of the sensor arrangement is able to be connected by a line arrangement having at least three lines, with an external electrical or electronic device with an external electrical device, two lines being adapted for use as power supply lines and at least one third line being adapted for the transmission of sensor signals to the electrical device. By way of an external parametrization means, able to be connected with the at least one sensor signal line, parametrization signals may be supplied to the sensor electronic circuitry in order to parametrize the sensor arrangement by the storage of parametrization values. Accordingly sensor arrangement may be parametrized or re-parametrized fitting without any additional line or wireless transmission path being necessary.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2001Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Festo AG & Co.Inventors: Dietmar Wagner, Ralf Medow

Patent number: 6429548Abstract: A pressure switch is described with a pressure connection (11), with an electrical pressure sensor (19) to generate a pressure-dependent electrical signal, with an operator-device and/or an adjusting device (16-18) to input at least one pressure switch threshold and with at least one electrical switch output (16-18) [sic; 13,14]. The pressure switch can be adjusted by operation of the operator device (16-18) in such a manner that the electrical signal corresponding to the instantaneously applied pressure (p) is saved as the first saved pressure value (S1) and the electrical signal corresponding to a pressure (p) applied temporally thereafter, is saved as a second saved pressure value (S2), where these two saved pressure values (S1, S2) define the pressure switching threshold(s) in the operating mode. Thus, the saved pressure values can be specified very easily and in a variable manner and saved, and a great variability of operating modes is possible.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2000Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Festo AG & Co.Inventors: Dietmar Wagner, Jochen Franz
