Abstract: A modular communication system for connection to a master unit, including a device which is configured in a decentralized manner and includes at least a first module and a second module, wherein the first module is configured and set up to be directly connected to the master unit, and wherein the second module is directly connected to the first module and is configured and set up to be indirectly connected to the master unit via the first module, wherein the first module is further configured and set up to receive a data signal from the master unit. The data signal includes at least a first data set usable by the first module, and at least a second data set usable by the second module. The present disclosure further relates to a summing frame method, to a block frame method and to an indexing method for operating the communication system.

Abstract: A multi-pole plug connection unit for three-phase alternating current systems having two plug connection parts which complement one another for the purpose of kink-free plug connection and having a locking sleeve which axially secures the plug connection parts in relation to one another in the plug-connected state is known. Each plug connection part is constructed as a monolithic insulating body in which a plurality of electrical plug contacts are axially latched, and an outside diameter of the plug connection parts and the locking sleeve is less than 23 mm, and the plug connection unit is designed to transmit voltage and current intensity ranges of up to 630 volts/16 amperes. The multi-pole plug connection unit is used for energy and signal transmission in machine tools.
