  • Patent number: 12145462
    Abstract: A method for charging a traction battery (1) of an electric vehicle b a charging column (2) is provided. The traction battery (1) can be charged at two or more different charging voltage levels. After the electric vehicle has been connected to the charging column (2), data is exchanged between a battery management system (3) of the electric vehicle and the charging column (2) to negotiate a charging voltage. For this purpose, a maximum permissible total charging voltage is communicated to the charging station (2) by the battery management system (3) via a battery handshake message (BHM) (4). The communicated maximum permissible total charging voltage is lower than a highest charging voltage level of the traction battery (1) by a defined measure.

  • Patent number: 11980925
    Abstract: A sheet metal processing plant includes a conveyor defining a receiving surface for a workpiece and a conveying direction in a conveying plane and being embodied for conveying the workpiece, the workpiece having a bottom side and a top side, and a turning unit embodied for turning the workpiece received on the receiving surface from the bottom side to the top side. The turning unit includes a manipulator embodied to lift the bottom side of the workpiece off the receiving surface, to perform a turning operation of the workpiece and to place the top side of the workpiece on the receiving surface of the conveyor.

  • Publication number: 20070018615
    Abstract: A device monitors the operating parameters of a battery, in particular a starter battery for an automobile. The operating parameters include at least the battery voltage and the device is supplied from the battery voltage. For power-saving and yet precise determination of operating parameters for the period of time which is particularly significant in practice after a drop in the battery voltage, the device comprises a battery parameter detection device which determines the operating parameters of the battery in an awake state, stores these in digital form and/or supplies them to a digital interface output. The detection device is inactive in a sleep state and has a reduced consumption of electricity. A cut-off detection device compares the battery voltage with the predetermined cut-off voltage during the sleep state and awakens the detection device from the sleep state if the battery voltage falls below the predetermined cut-off voltage.
