  • Patent number: 12240333
    Abstract: A method (100) for operating a vehicle (1) with an electric drive-train (2), wherein this electric drivetrain (2) is fed via a DC voltage source (3) and a converter (4) for converting the DC voltage into a single-phase or multiphase AC voltage, comprising the steps: —it is detected (110) that the vehicle (1) is stopped; —it is checked (120) on the basis of at least one specified criterion (10) whether the vehicle (1) is expected to be stopped only briefly; —in response to the fact that the vehicle (1) is expected to be stopped only briefly, the vehicle (1) is transferred (130) from the ready-to-drive state into a disabled state, wherein in this disabled state the vehicle (1) is protected against unauthorized use but the converter (4) continues to be supplied with the DC voltage from the DC voltage source (3); —in response to the fact that the vehicle (1) is not expected to be stopped only briefly, at least one functional test of the electric drivetrain (2), said test being provided for powering down the elect

  • Publication number: 20230091191
    Abstract: In a method for parameterising at least one device (30), at least one environmental value (31) of the device is determined via at least one sensor and/or an automation component. It is checked whether parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value in a parameter database (32). If parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value (31) in the parameter database (32), the device (30) is parameterised with parameters from the parameter database (32). If no parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value (31) in the parameter database (32), the device (30) is parameterised with new parameters. The new parameters are then allocated (54) to the at least one environmental value (31) in the parameter database (32).
