  • Patent number: 11467349
    Abstract: A storage device for mobile provision of data at a technical installation includes a first connector for mechanical connection to a complementary mating connector, a second connector adjoining the first connector, and a housing enclosing the first connector and the second connector. The second connector can releasably receive a storage medium in a receptacle and can contact power and data connections of the storage medium when the storage medium is in the receptacle. The first connector is coupled to the second connector and, as a result of the coupling, the power and data connections of the storage medium can be contacted via the first connector. The first connector is a round plug connector with a connecting element having a circular cross-section or a heavy-duty connector.

  • Patent number: 9454140
    Abstract: A control apparatus has at least one module including first, second and third module parts. The first and second module parts can be mechanically and electrically combined to form a first combined arrangement. The first and third module parts can be mechanically and electrically combined to form a second combined arrangement. The first module part comprises a securing element with an engagement section moveable between a first position, wherein the first and second module part are secured together, and a second position wherein the first and second module parts can be detached from one another. The securing element includes an actuation section. In the first position, the actuation section is located in a first spatial region and, in the second position, is located in a second spatial region. The third module part has a blocking section, which, in the second combined arrangement, occupies at least partially the second spatial region.

  • Patent number: 9112318
    Abstract: A control apparatus has a module having first and second module parts, which can be mechanically and electrically combined to form a combined arrangement. The first and second module parts each comprise a housing having a boundary surface opposite one another in the combined arrangement that define a boundary plane. The first and second module parts are combined by a pivoting movement about a pivot axis arranged perpendicular to the boundary plane. One of the module parts has a number of contacts comprising a first electrical contact, and the other module part has a number of mating contacts comprising a first electrical mating contact. In the combined arrangement, each electrical contact makes contact with its corresponding mating contact for electrical connection between the first and second module parts. The contacts comprise conductor tracks on a nonconductive board such that a printed circuit board is formed.
