Wolfgang Schmauss has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11307552
    Abstract: In order to enable a seamless configuration modification during operation, a first automation device sends a second automation device a request for parameter modification. The second automation device responds to the request, such that a standby acknowledgement of the request is sent. Immediately with the transmission of the standby acknowledgement in the second automation device, an output process image is frozen, and the modification of the communication parameters for the second automation device is carried out. The first automation device responds, such that after receiving the standby acknowledgement in the first automation device, the communication is immediately stopped and the modification of the communication parameters is carried out for the first automation device. An input process image is frozen.

  • Patent number: 9411677
    Abstract: A method for detecting errors in a transfer of data from a transmitter to at least one receiver includes coding the data together with address information identifying the receiver in a series of data packets and transferring the data and the address information using the data packets. The method also includes generating, at the transmitter, a check value for each data packet and transferring the check value with/in the data packet to the receiver. The method further includes comparing, at the receiver, the check value with an expectation value, wherein an error is detected in the event of a deviation. For each data packet to be transmitted, the method includes calculating a number sequence value from the address information using a first calculation rule, generating the check value from the sequence value using a second calculation rule and transmitting the data packet with the check value to the receiver.

  • Patent number: 7808917
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for transmitting telegrams. The system has at least one first communication means provided for sending telegrams and at least one second communication means provided for receiving telegrams, with a telegram having a check value that can be determined from a useful data component of the telegram, with the first communication means having a first telegram counter provided for assigning a count value to a telegram in accordance with a send sequence. To improve error detection during the transmission of telegrams it is proposed that the count value for determining the check value be a constituent of the useful data component is, that information signaling a change in the count value be a constituent of the useful data component when the telegram is transmitted, that the second communication means have a second telegram counter, and that means be provided for synchronizing the first and second telegram counter.

  • Patent number: 7640480
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for detecting errors in the communication of data from a transmitter to at least one receiver. In the method, in a first step on the side of the transmitter a first check value is generated at least from user data to be communicated; in a second step on the side of the transmitter a second check value is generated at least from the user data and the first check value; in a third step at least the user data, the first check value and the second check value are communicated to the receiver; in a fourth step on the side of the receiver the communicated user data and the communicated first check value are verified with the aid of the second check value; and in a fifth step on the side of the receiver the communicated user data are verified with the aid of the first check value.
