  • Publication number: 20200134935
    Abstract: A method, for capturing a state of a product using a capture unit associated with the product, includes receiving with the capture unit at least one of an identification of the product and an identification of the capture unit. The identification is stored in a memory of the capture unit. At least one measured value is recorded using at least one sensor of the capture unit, and stored in the memory of the capture unit. An output signal including at least the identification and the at least one measured value is outputted to a reading unit using the capture unit.

  • Publication number: 20190242785
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an installation having at least one component includes providing a data set including a plurality of possible installation types, and detecting a plurality of measurement variables. Each of the measurement variables is respectively associated with at least one of the components of the installation. The method further includes determining the installation type of the monitored installation by comparing the detected measurement variables with the plurality of possible installation types in the data set. The method also includes determining a state of at least one of the components of the installation depending on the detected measurement variables and the determined installation type.

  • Patent number: 7541767
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for error response when an error occurs in response to a motion, particularly of a drive mechanism in a machine, the motion taking place while using at least one master axis and at least one cam disk having at least one input and one output and being controlled by the master axis, in which, in response to the occurrence of the error at the least one input of the at least one cam disk, current process variables that are present are used for the initiation and the execution of the error response. The invention also relates to a corresponding computer system.

  • Patent number: 6651494
    Abstract: A highly dependable process and device for monitoring wear for a holding brake is performed via an electronically controlled brake test. A shaft which is drivable by a motor can be braked by the holding brake. A reference angular position which is to be traveled by the motor during the brake test and which deviates from the current actual angular position of the motor is preset along with a maximum limit torque to be applied by the motor during the brake test are preset for the motor. During the brake test, the actual angular position of the shaft is monitored to determine whether the shaft rotates. The existence of wear in the holding brake is evidenced by rotation of the shaft during the brake test.
