Abstract: An electrical device arrangement, in particular for an item of furniture, includes a bus device having wirelessly configured control paths, and bus subscribers connected to the bus device, wherein at least one of the bus subscribers is an operating unit comprising a memory for storing control parameters and a control program and at least one of the bus subscriber is a controller of a furniture drive. A method for controlling such an electrical device arrangement, in particular for an item of furniture, having a bus device and bus subscribers is also disclosed.

Abstract: An arrangement is disclosed having an electromotive furniture drive with a control device, a power supply device, and at least one operating device; a piece of furniture into which the electromotive furniture drive is installed; and a data device, the electromotive furniture drive and the data device are in communicative connection with each other. The communication connection between the electromotive furniture drive and the data device has a first transmission path, which is provided for transmitting an identification code of the electromotive furniture drive, and a second transmission path, which is provided for transmitting control data and/or operating data of the electromotive furniture drive. There is further disclosed a method for establishing a communication connection between an electromotive furniture drive and the data device.

Abstract: An electric-motor drive arrangement is proposed having at least one electric motor and having at least one control device, wherein the electric-motor drive arrangement has a measurement data processing apparatus and a non-volatile memory. In this case, the memory is connected to a comparator which operates at least one optical display block of a display apparatus when a predetermined set value is reached or exceeded.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (1) comprising an electromotive furniture drive (2) with a control device (5), a power supply device (8), and at least one operating device (10); a piece of furniture (3) into which the electromotive furniture drive (2) is installed; and a data device (21), said electromotive furniture drive (2) and the data device (21) being in communicative connection with each other. The communication connection between the electromotive furniture drive (2) and the data device (21) has a first transmission path (24), which is provided for transmitting an identification code of the electromotive furniture drive (2), and a second transmission path (25), which is provided for transmitting control data and/or operating data of the electromotive furniture drive (2). The invention also relates to a method for establishing a communication connection between an electromotive furniture drive (2) and the data device (21).

Abstract: An electrical device arrangement, in particular for an item of furniture, includes a bus device and bus subscribers. The bus device has at least two control paths, two power paths and at least one enable path. The additional enable path simplifies the mutual identification of the bus subscribers and also improves the so-called first fail-safety. The signals carried on the enable path furthermore allow a safe shutdown of the system and provide a power-saving sleep mode. A method for controlling such an electrical device arrangement, in particular for an item of furniture, having a bus device and bus subscribers is also disclosed.

Abstract: A furniture item includes a fixed first structure, a second structure, and a drive assembly for moving the second structure in relation to the first structure between predefined target positions. The drive assembly has at least two servo drives. An adjustment mechanism is provided for maintaining the second structure in desired alignment with the first structure and includes a control unit for controlling operation of the servo drives, and first and second signal transducer assemblies which are operatively connected to the control unit, wherein one signal transducer assembly interacts with one servo drive, and the other signal transducer assembly interacts with the other servo drives. So long as a movement to any one of the target positions by the second structure in relation to the first structure is accompanied by a simultaneous activation of the first and second signal transducers assemblies, the second structure is in proper alignment to the first structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a switching system for interconnecting a plurality of computer user terminals or workstations each having user interface devices, including a keyboard, a video display unit, and a cursor control device or mouse (KVM), with a plurality of computers in a computer network, allowing a user to access any one or more of said computers from the user interface devices of a single terminal or workstation. It is denoted “high end” because of the potentially large number of computers which may be interconnected with the system.
