Definitions
- the invention relates to a modular system of individual modules which can be arranged side by side.
- An assembly of individual modules is expedient in order to be able to set up customized systems for the user.
- previously modules with pure electronics function and modules with pneumatic functions must be combined to ensure the supply of the pneumatic modules with the control fluid.
- a system extension therefore, may need to be dismantled pneumatic modules to connect first electrical modules - or vice versa.
- a supply voltage must be applied to both the electrical and the electropneumatic modules.
- the modules are connected to a control bus, for example a fieldbus.
- a control bus for example a fieldbus.
- each individual module requires an address and each module must be able to decode the signals on the control bus.
- a harsh industrial environment with dust atmosphere and / or water due to the large number of line connections installation in a control cabinet is necessary because otherwise each plug connection would have to be sealed and the cable insulation would have to meet the special requirements. This is structurally complex and therefore expensive.
- the invention provides a modular system with a head module having at least one external bus external connection terminal, at least one pneumatic supply terminal, an electrical supply terminal and, respectively, on the same side: a serial bus interface for an internal serial bus, an electrical bus Supply interface, a multipole interface and a pneumatic supply interface.
- the module system further comprises at least one functional module, each carrying out from one side to the opposite side and to which a corresponding interface of the head module is connected: an internal serial bus line, electrical supply lines, multipole electrical lines and pneumatic supply lines.
- the head module converts serial bus signals into multipole signals and outputs them at the multipole interface.
- the functional module selectively branches off at least one of the multipole lines and carries out a pneumatic or electrical or both a pneumatic and an electrical function with a signal carried thereon.
- the multipole lines include both input and output lines
- the head module includes means for converting multipole signals from the multipole interface to a serial bus signal. Due to the serial / parallel as well as parallel / serial conversion in the head module, the function modules can be constructed as purely passive modules without signal conversion and still
- the module system has only one external serial port.
- the head module has a bus relay connection branched off from the serial bus interface.
- a first expansion module can be connected, which has on one of its sides interfaces for a function module, of which at least one multipole interface is formed analogous to that of the head module.
- a remote module system unit can be set up, which is also connected to the external bus.
- the first expansion module has a further bus relay connection, to which a second expansion module can be connected.
- the module system further comprises at least one expansion intermediate module insertable between two functional modules.
- the expansion intermediate module leads the internal serial bus line from one side to the opposite side. It has on one of its sides a multipole interface for the functional module attached thereto. It includes means for converting serial bus signals on the internal bus into multipole signals. Since each function module branches off at least one of the multipole lines, the number of function modules which can be arranged in a row is limited by the number of initially fed multipole lines.
- Intermediate module also multipole signals from the multipole interface into a serial bus signal.
- the multipole interface into a serial bus signal.
- Segment circuits can be defined with respect to the power supply.
- the expansion intermediate module can also have a connection for an external
- Bus signal on an external bus. This creates an interface to possible third-party modules.
- a bus function module is provided in the module system, which can be inserted between two function modules or between a function module and a termination module and has a bus interface.
- the bus function module preferably has at least one converter unit and this at least one analog-digital converter and / or at least one digital converter. This makes it possible to output or record analog voltage / current values. For example, a Druckmeßmodul is conceivable that allows the detection of the analog pressure in the compressed air channel of the module.
- a function module with a pneumatic function has at least one separate feedback connection. Due to the integration of the feedback input into the pneumatic module, a confusion of the displayed feedback signals is no longer possible. In addition, there is the advantage of a significantly more space-saving design and the achievement of a higher degree of protection.
- At least one of the modules has a maintenance functionality, wherein the maintenance functionality is perceptible via a diagnostic / programming interface.
- a diagnostic interface By integrating a diagnostic interface, it is possible to output diagnostic and error messages in plain text eg on a laptop. Furthermore, via this interface the ,
- the modules are preferably encapsulated in the increased degree of protection IP 65 / IP 67.
- interlocking plug connections with sealing rings and overlapping connection collars are provided on the sides of the modules.
- the tightness of the modular system or functional modules of the modular system is preferably produced by a Operaverguß.
- the connections are preferably potted on the inside with a sealing mass.
- a Abdeckbügel is inserted in a positive fit between adjacent modules. The cover bracket can only be used if the modules are locked. This ensures that the module system is manufactured in protection class IP 65 / IP 67, and installation in a control cabinet is not required.
- the module system comprises a pneumatic expansion function module in which the multipole electrical input lines are converted to multipole output electrical lines.
- a pneumatic expansion function module in which the multipole electrical input lines are converted to multipole output electrical lines.

- the multipole interface is divided into digital inputs 26a and digital outputs 26b.
- the head module includes processors 30, in which in addition to the conversion of the serial bus signals in parallel multipole signals and a decentralized intelligence can be integrated. So a freely programmable small control can be realized.
- the head module 12 also has an additional bus interface 32, via which the user can program simple control processes on the head module, whereby the main control is relieved.
- the double arrow 34 indicates a signal transmission between bus interface 32 and processors 30.
- the head module 12 includes a bus interface 36 with address register 38.
- the bus interface 36 is designed depending on the application for a conventional fieldbus protocol. As bus protocols, for example Profibus, CANopen, DeviceNET or even Ethernet are possible.
- the head module 12 has a Bus shimmerer arrangementsanschluß 40, which is explained in more detail in connection with Figure 2.
- a passive functional module 42a is adjacent to the head module 12, followed by functional modules 42b, 42c and 42d and a further functional module 42e.
- the functional modules 42a to 42d respectively feed, from one side to the opposite side, an internal serial bus 44, electrical supply lines 46, multipole electrical lines 48 - divided into multipole input lines 48a and into multipole output lines 48b - and a pneumatic supply line 50 through.
- the schematically illustrated pneumatic supply line 50 comprises a plurality of channels, so that supply air, exhaust air, auxiliary pilot air and pilot exhaust air are transported.
- both a part of the multipole input lines 48a and a part of the multipole output lines 48b are branched within the respective functional module 42.
- Provision of digital multipole input and output lines 48a, 48b also allows special fluidic modules such as vacuum injector modules, pressure regulator and filter modules to be integrated into the module system 10.
- special fluidic modules such as vacuum injector modules, pressure regulator and filter modules
- special electrical or electropneumatic modules are also possible to integrate special electrical or electropneumatic modules.
- here are pressure display modules, pressure sensor modules, pressure sensor modules, pressure sensor modules, pressure sensor modules, pressure sensor modules, and so
- Pressure switch and sensor modules are called.
- modules 42b and 42d there is also a branch from the pneumatic supply line 50.
- the functional modules 42b and 42d are pneumatic functional modules and the functional modules 42a and 42c are electronic functional modules.
- modules 42a and 42c could also be pneumatic functional modules having a branch from the pneumatic supply line.
- Function module 42e is provided with a separate pneumatic supply port 58. This makes it possible to integrate in the modular system valves that require a different fluid supply than on the pneumatic supply line, which passes through all the modules is offered.
- the branched multipole output lines carry signals in order to carry out pneumatic or electrical or both pneumatic and electrical functions. Feedback signals, such as sensor signals or function confirming signals, are sent via the multipole input lines.
- the multipole input lines can be used for example as a separate feedback connection.
- feedback signals can be displayed directly in the function module 42 and are thus directly assigned.
- the feedback signal can also be forwarded via the multipole lines or after conversion in an active intermediate module via the serial bus to a control device. _.
- an expansion intermediate module 52 is inserted.
- the expansion intermediate module 52 the internal serial bus line 44 is performed as well as the pneumatic supply line 50.
- the expansion intermediate module 52 has a multipole interface for the functional module 42e attached thereto.
- the expansion intermediate module 52 has means for converting serial bus signals of the internal bus into multipole signals.
- further functional modules 42 can be strung together since the expansion intermediate module provides new multipole input lines and multipole output lines.
- a limitation to the initially provided by the head module 12 Multipol- lines deleted so. The signals to be transported on the new multipole lines are looped through from the head module 12 via the internal serial bus line 44 through the function modules 42a to 42d.
- the expansion intermediate module 52 has an additional supply connection 54. It is also possible to pass the supply lines 46 through the expansion intermediate module 52, but the separate electrical supply connection 54 has the advantage that it is possible to subdivide the modular system into segments which can be switched off and on separately, for example during an emergency stop , In the event of a fault, then only the modules of a segment must be disconnected from the power supply and not the entire module system.
- the expansion intermediate module 52 further has a bus interface 56, via which an external bus signal can be fed from an external bus into the expansion intermediate module 52.
- This bus interface may be, for example, a diagnostic / programming interface.
- This diagnostics / programming interface can be used to perform a maintenance function for the connected function modules. For a diagnosis, a clear-text output, for example to a laptop, is possible at this interface.
- the bus interface also allows a simple recording of a software update. Of course, it is also possible to carry out the maintenance functionality, as well as diagnostics and software updates via the internal bus 44 from the head module 12, which also has an additional bus interface 32 which is the same ,
- Bus interfaces 32 and 56 may also be used for connection to an external third-party bus.
- a bus function module can be inserted between two function modules, which in contrast to the shown expansion intermediate module 52 has only one bus interface for connection to an external bus and does not convert serial data into parallel data.
- a bus functional module may include an analog / digital converter and a digital / analog converter. Analog measured values can thus be processed and transported after conversion as digital values on the internal serial bus 44.
- an intermediate module is also conceivable which converts unused multipole input lines into multipole output lines.
- the functional module 42e Connected to the expansion intermediate module 52 in FIG. 1 is the functional module 42e, which is essentially constructed like the functional modules 42a-d. Function module 42e is additionally provided with the separate pneumatic supply connection 58. This makes it possible to integrate in the modular system valves that require a different fluid supply than on the pneumatic supply line, which passes through all the modules is offered.
- the module system 10 shown in Figure 1 includes a termination module 60.
- the termination module 60 includes a termination resistor 61 for the serial bus 44 and terminates suitably the pneumatic supply lines 50 from.
- FIG. 2 shows another possible structure of the invention
- a terminating module 62 connects to the functional module 42k.
- an expansion intermediate module 64 is set, which has a separate supply voltage input 66.
- serial data is converted into parallel data, which are output to the adjacent functional module 42j at a multipole interface.
- the head module 12 has a supply terminal 20 and terminals 14 and 16 for an incoming and an outgoing external bus.
- a pneumatic supply port 18 is provided. In the head module 12, in turn, the conversion of serial signals of the external bus in parallel multipole signals, as well as the transmission of serial signals to an internal serial bus.
- an internal serial bus line 44 and pneumatic supply lines 50 run through all the modules arranged next to one another.
- Multipole lines 48 and electrical supply lines 46 are routed through the functional modules to the functional module 42i, which is adjoined by the expansion intermediate module 64.
- a conversion of serial signals from the internal serial bus 44 into parallel signals which are output to the adjacent functional module 42j at a multipole interface is effected by the modules 42j and 42k, these multipole lines are again performed.
- the expansion intermediate module 64 has a separate voltage supply 66, so that from there, starting from the subsequent function modules 42j and 42k electrical supply lines are performed.
- An address line 68 is routed parallel to the internal bus.
- the head module 12 includes the bus routing port 40, which branches off the serial bus interface and is already shown in Figure 1a.
- a first expansion module 72 which in turn has a bus transfer port 74 to which a second expansion module 76 is connected.
- the second expansion module 76 has a Bus shimmerer arrangementsanschluß, so that more expansion modules can be connected.
- the expansion modules each have a separate supply terminal 78 and 80, and a pneumatic supply terminal 82 and 84.
- Serial bus signals of the internal bus are converted into parallel modules in expansion modules 72 and 76 and output at a multipole interface, respectively.
- Function modules 421-s lined up are in a known manner.
- the function modules 42l-s are pure multipole function modules, ie the serial internal bus is not performed by the modules, but the pneumatic supply lines 50.
- the internal bus are branched off, so that a connection of function modules with performed serial internal bus 44, as they are connected directly to the head module 12 in Figure 2, is conceivable.
- a system extension is thus easy and inexpensive to achieve. Since there are bus lines between head module 12 and expansion module 72, or between expansion module 72 and expansion module 76, these system subgroups need not be adjacent, they may be remote units.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a module system consisting of a head module 12, four functional modules 42a to 42d and a termination module 60 prior to assembly.
- the multipole interfaces 26 and the pneumatic supply interfaces 28 can be seen.
- the plug connections on the sides are provided with sealing rings and overlapping connecting collars.
- the connections are sealed on the inside with a sealing compound.
- the tightness of the modules is ensured by a partial encapsulation.
- a recess 84 can be seen, which is found in all modules.
- the modules can thus be mounted on a mounting rail.
- Abdeckbügel 86 are inserted between each adjacent modules in positive fit. This insertion can only be done if the modules have been locked before.
