  • Patent number: 11638361
    Abstract: A locking arrangement can be used for securing electric module cards between two side walls of a housing. The locking arrangement includes two side members for fixed arrangement with the respective side walls. An opening defined between the side members accommodates electric contacts of the electric module cards. A first and a second transverse member form a frame with the side members in order to lock the electric module cards within the housing. A locking mechanism is detachably connects at least one of the transverse members to at least one of the side members by means of a snap-fit.

  • Publication number: 20210367420
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an IED configured for use as a protection relay in an electric power system. The IED comprises a plurality of cassettes connected to a backplane, with at least two cassettes mounted adjacent each other. Each of the cassettes comprises a housing profile in the form of a rectangular tube having an envelope wall of a heat conducting material, and at least one electronic card arranged in a card slot within the tube formed by the housing profile, which at least one card is electrically connected to the backplane. Adjacent cassettes are separated a distance such that air canals are formed between their respective housing profiles.

  • Patent number: 9830364
    Abstract: A method, item communication arrangement and a computer program product communicate items representing process control objects to a user of a wireless terminal in a process control system. The arrangement includes an item communication control unit providing the items representing process control objects and configured to continuously determine weights of the items and visually communicate items to the user via the wireless terminal in an order defined by the weights of the items. The weight of an item is determined based on an item selection pattern of the user.
