  • Patent number: 8086780
    Abstract: Methods for the transfer/transmission of field bus data between at least two members of a field bus communication system, each member including at least one field bus interface and a memory device. At least one common memory device is provided for the at least two members, wherein field bus data is written onto the at least one common memory device by the first member, and the field bus data is read out of the at least one common memory device by the second member. A field bus communication system includes at least one member, where each member includes a field bus interface and a memory device. The field bus communication system further includes at least one common memory device writeable from and readable to the members of the field bus communication system.

  • Publication number: 20070272513
    Abstract: In a method for approaching a moving article over an approach path, an approach position of the article is situated within an approach region, control data sets are calculated in advance in a first calculation step, the control data sets contain a movement set that includes path segments, which describe the approach path for an approach position, the first calculation step for the movement set is based on a first determined approach position of the article, the movement set for the first determined position of the article is optimized with regard to the approach speed, the current approach position of the article is determined immediately before the start of the movement, a second calculation step is carried out in which the respective path segment to be currently executed is changed as a function of the determined current approach position of the article so that the approach path is shifted in the direction of the current approach position, and an approach movement is carried out by executing the path segmen

  • Publication number: 20040193319
    Abstract: A method of driving on a movable piece material over a drive-on path, comprising the steps of providing a drive-on position of the piece material inside a drive-on region, computing control data sets preliminarily in a first computation step, providing in the control data set a travel set which describes the drive-on path at the drive-on position, starting the first computation step for the travel set from a fixed drive-on position of the piece material, optimizing the travel set to the first fixed position of the piece material with respect to the drive-on speed, determining, directly before a start of a drive-on movement in accordance with the travel set, an actual drive-on position of the piece material, performing a second computation step which a corresponding actual travel set changed depending on the determined actual drive-on position of the piece material so that the drive-on path is changed in direction of the actual drive-on position, and performing a drive-on movement by working off of the travel
