Patent number: 7953419Abstract: In a data communications network building automation system, integration of wirelessly communicating network nodes is visualized in a process environment on an output unit of a commissioning device. The current spatial position of the commissioning device is detected and represented in the visualized process environment by detecting an identification signal of the network nodes and determining a relative spatial position of the network nodes for which the identification signal was detected. A proposal for the assignment of the detected identification signal to a node model is stored in a database based on the relative spatial position, in relation to the spatial position of the commissioning device.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2008Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Siemens AGInventors: Fritz Jost, Daniel Kottmann, Otto Leuthold

Patent number: 7442068Abstract: Such an electrical device (6) comprises an electrical module (8) for the purpose of communicating between the electrical module (8) and another electrical device. An identification transmitter (14) is provided which has a first position, in which the electrical module (8) is in a non-operative state, and a second position, in which the electrical module (8) is in an operative state. In addition, an identification pick-up (20) is provided which interacts with the identification transmitter (14) in the second position in order to evaluate information defined by the identification transmitter (14). The electrical device (6) makes possible, inter alia, an alternative addressing concept in which the location of a fixedly installed base (12) or the wiring to the base (12) is addressed, since the information transmitter (14) is located on the base (12).Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2005Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Siemens Schweiz AGInventors: Jörg Hammer, Jörg Hindermann, Patricia Jandl, legal representative, Fritz Jost, Josef Jandl

Patent number: 6690197Abstract: A bus subscriber node (2) having a feed module (10) and means (9) for transmitting and/or receiving information by way of the bus (1) has a switch module (11) which is actuatable by way of a switching logical member (12) and by which the feed module (10) can be connected to the bus (1) or by which the feed module (10) can be separated from the bus (1). The bus subscriber node (2) also has a memory cell (14) and a monitoring member (13) for detecting a current supplied by the feed module (10). The switching logical member (12) is coupled to the memory cell (14) and the monitoring member (13) in such a way that the feed module (10) can be separated from the bus (1) on the basis of an item of information stored in the memory cell (14) or on the basis of a certain current level detected by the monitoring member (13). With the memory cell (14) the bus subscriber node (2) can be configured as a feeding or as a non-feeding bus subscriber node and can be used in communication networks with central and decentral feed.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2002Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Siemens Building Technologies AGInventors: Daniel Brugger, Norbert Fichtner, Fritz Jost

Patent number: 5128855Abstract: An arrangement for the control of an operating installation of a building automation system is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a control module serving as a master transmitter-receiver and at least one function module serving as a slave transmitter receiver. A bus connection including a bus rail connects the control module and the at least one function module for the transmission of addresses and data and for the transmission of operating voltages. The bus rail is installed electrically at the periphery of the installation so that the at least one function module is connected to a plurality of conductors forming the bus rail and directly to the installation so that the function module serves as an input/output terminal of said installation for the transmission of process parameters.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1989Date of Patent: July 7, 1992Assignee: LGZ Landis & Gyr Zug AGInventors: Josef Hilber, Fritz Jost, Otto Leuthold
