Abstract: A dialogue system uses a three wire bus connecting a central station with a plurality of substations with two of the wires carrying an AC supply voltage and a third one of the wires carrying data by means of a closed loop of the AC carrying wires and the third wire. The central station uses a series connection of a data transmitter and a data receiver with the third data wire and each substation includes a data receiver in series with the data wire and a data transmitter between the data wire and both AC wires.

Abstract: For the implementation of a regulating and/or control system under use of a microprocessor, the system first is arranged column by column and line by line in a functional diagram. The input values of the system are written in an X-register line by line. Also, parameters are written line by line and column by column into a parameter register. An interpreting computer combines line by line and column by column the input values, respectively, the parameters with the predetermined function with the computer being instructed by a program stored in a configurator. The output values of the interpreting computer per column are written line by line in a Y-register. The contents of the Y-register is transferred back into the X-register if the maximum number of lines of the respective column is run through and the maximum number of columns is not yet reached.

Abstract: A positioning drive with an electronic regulator for controlling the r.p.m. of a working shaft has a regeneratively coupled amplifier with variable negative feedback adjustable from a normally high value to a minimum value for the final braking action, whereby the shaft is abruptly brought to rest at a predetermined angular position.
