Abstract: A device for acquiring the maximum value (or the minimum value) of a multiplicity of measured values, having a multiplicity of measuring points for acquiring the measured values, an a data line for transmitting data values between the measuring points, at least one of the measuring points having a comparator for comparing a data value received on the data line with its own measured value, and being configured to transmit its own measured value on the data line only if said measured value is not smaller than the data value, wherein the data line is a serial line for transmitting the data value in the form of successive bits of decreasing significance, wherein the comparator is a serial comparator which compares the received bits of the data value with the identically significant bits of its own measured value, and wherein the measuring point is configured to transmit each bit of its own measured value which is detected as being larger than the corresponding received bit, until a comparison reveals that the bit

Abstract: A circuit for monitoring the resistance between the terminals of a battery and a first reference potential has two inputs which are each to be connected to one of the terminals of the battery, and a voltage divider. The voltage devider has two external connections each of which is connected to one of the inputs, and a central connection which is to be connected to the first reference potential. First and second switches are arranged in series in a connection between one of the external connections of the voltage divider and one of the inputs. A measuring instrument is connected to the external connections of the voltage divider, for supplying a monitoring signal which is representative of the voltage between the external connections.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for acquiring a derived data value from among individual data values generated by a multiplicity of data units which are serially connected in a fixed order, each data unit to which a preceding data unit is assigned receives a data value from the preceding data unit, logically links it to a locally generated individual data value and passes on the resulting data value, so that the data value which is passed on by the last data unit represents the derived data value. The passing on of data values is carried out bit by bit in serial fashion, each data unit linking a received bit to the corresponding bit of its own individual data value, and passing it on before it receives a further bit of the data value.

Abstract: An electronic monitoring unit for an electrical energy storage system that comprises multiple series connected components, includes a corresponding number of measurement devices. Each measurement device is connected to one such component and measures at least one storage status indicator thereof. In one embodiment, the measurement devices are connected in series, and each successive measuring device evaluates the measurement value for its associated storage device relative to measurement data received from the previous measuring device, based on one of more prespecified evaluation criteria. Alternatively, the measurement devices are connected in parallel to a joint signal connection and transfer their measurement values in parallel through the joint signal connection, in a form suitable for the determination of minimum and maximum values.
