Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for communication with a plant especially for operating and observing a Automation system in industrial production.
  • Output devices are for example indicator lights, alphanumeric or graphical displays that inform the system operator inform about the current state of the system.
  • Input Devices or in other words HMI devices, are e.g. Switch, Rotary knobs or keyboards for alphanumeric input, the allow the operator to interact with the system.
  • HMI devices for the purpose of communication between User and plant so-called HMI devices, hereinafter referred to as communication device, firmly attached to the plant itself or e.g. in the production hall, in which the system is installed.
  • a typical one Communication device has a handy housing on which Input and output devices are arranged. The data exchange with the plant or with their control via a permanently installed connection cable.
  • the mobile wireless communication devices are in many cases equipped with security features, with the help of these in case of danger, the safe state of the system can be achieved. Because such devices are necessarily battery operated are and the information transfer over one Radio link is the permanent availability of the emergency stop function not given. A termination of the radio link or a complete emptying of the mobile communication device namely, would be to tear off the communication between the communication device and the system, why the emergency stop button would be ineffective in this case.
  • Stop function For radio-based communication devices is therefore the so-called Stop function realized.
  • the stop function will be in usually realized by a stop button on the communication device, because of its limited availability but may not be executed red-yellow.
  • a stop button On the communication device, because of its limited availability but may not be executed red-yellow.
  • Communication device causes a pressure on this Button also the immediate standstill of the system or the immediate power cut off on the entire system, So it has the same functionality as the emergency stop button.
  • stop button not necessarily is assigned to a particular machine when the mobile Communication device at any point in a production hall is stored. Even with a working communication device therefore does not cause a pressure on the stop button inevitably the stoppage of the nearby ones Machine.
  • the object of the present invention is a device specify the safety-relevant handling of a mobile communication device is simplified.
  • a device for communication with a system in particular for operating and monitoring an automation system in industrial production, with a mobile communication device for wireless Data exchange with the system.
  • Firmly connected to the system is a storage in which the communication device can be stored.
  • An emergency stop button for switching off the system is located on the shelf appropriate.
  • Trays for mobile communication devices are usually e.g. in the form of a so-called docking station, with a Power supply equipped, over which as a battery charged in the communication device accumulator charged becomes.
  • the docking station forms a defined storage for the HMI device, i.e. after the use of it should be stopped This always be stored in the storage. This may if necessary through appropriate monitoring, e.g. by the workshop master can be ensured. An assignment a mobile operating device to a specific system or Machine is improved by that the filing at the plant is firmly connected. The communication device will not turn on stored elsewhere, e.g. in the master cabin and is thus the plant more clearly assigned.
  • the emergency stop button on the fixed shelf is fixed Wired and thus always functional. Should be included the communication device is interrupted the radio connection and the stop button is disabled Emergency stop button in immediate reach, namely directly next to the communication device, available. Also knows the Operator so in the case of removed from the tray communication device and tearing off the radio contact that at least at the storage location of the communication device an emergency stop button is available to which he rush in case of danger can.
  • the administrative effort for the path closing the communication device not applicable because of the availability of a permanently functioning emergency stop button is allowed Permanently store the communication device in the tray.
  • Fig. 1 shows an automation system 2 with a mobile Communication device 4, which with the automation system 2 is process coupled, i. to operate and observe the Appendix 2 exchanges wirelessly with this data.
  • the automation system 2 comprises a machine 6 and a the machine 6 controlling controller 8, and a tray 10th for the communication device 4 and a radio base station 12.
  • a first emergency stop button 14 included, in addition to the controller 8 at a Wall of the machine, not shown, containing the machine 6 Production hall is firmly attached.
  • a second emergency stop button 16 is attached to the housing 18 of the tray 10. Filing 10 in turn is firmly installed on the machine 6.
  • All components of the automation system 2 are mutually exclusive connected via a safety-related fieldbus 20.
  • Security means in this context, that in such a fieldbus 20, the functionality of Emergency stop button 14,16 is ensured at all times.
  • the emergency stop button 14,16 may therefore be executed in red-yellow color be.
  • a pressure on an emergency stop button 14, 16 leads for immediate power off on all components the automation system 2.
  • the communication device 4 has an unillustrated and output devices 22, e.g. in the form of one of control buttons surrounding displays, with which a communication device 4 serving, not shown operator the automation system 2 Operator control and monitoring can.
  • the communication between communication device 4 and Appendix 2 takes place between at the radio base station 12 and at the communication device 4 attached antennas 24,26 along one by one Double arrow indicated radio link 28.
  • a stop button 30 is attached.
  • the stop button 30 has the same functionality as the Emergency stop button 14,16. Pressing the stop button 30 takes place the voltage cut-off in the entire automation system 2.
  • the stop button 30 on the battery-powered Communication device 4 is located, which also is freely movable, he may according to the above Industrial standards not as red-yellow emergency stop button to be marked.
  • the functioning of the stop button 30 presupposes namely that the communication device 4 from the contained therein, not shown battery with power is supplied, so this battery is not completely empty is and that the radio link 28 is working properly.
  • the communication device 4 may e.g. not outside the Reichweiter the radio link 28 away from the Radio base station 12 are located.
  • the operator removes the communication device at the beginning of use 4 from the tray 10. That's why he knows in this Case that in case of a malfunction of the communication device. 4 at least on the tray 10 a permanently functioning Emergency stop button 16 is available, to which he is in case of danger can hurry. Since the communication device 4 also the Filing 10 is fixed, he is not prompted place the communication device 4 somewhere else, as it is only in the tray 10, in which one unrepresented power supply, recharged becomes.
  • FIG. 2 shows the same automation system as FIG. 1, in which case the safety-related fieldbus 20 is replaced by a Standard fieldbus 32 replaced without special security features is. For this reason, the emergency stop buttons 14, 16 are not via the fieldbus 32 but via a separately routed Emergency stop circuit 34 connected to each other.
  • the emergency stop circuit 34 acts on the machine 6 and can also, as related described with Fig. 1 triggered via the stop button 30 become. Therefore, the radio base station 12 in which the corresponding radio signal is received, connected to the emergency stop circuit 34, to generate the emergency stop signal.
  • the communication device 4 is in its assigned Tray 10 is on and is out of order. It There is no radio connection between the antennas 24 and 26, which is why a pressure on the stop button 30 is ineffective. Nevertheless, the situation shown in Fig. 2 offers a according Industry standard permissible arrangement, as in the immediate Near the stop button 30, namely on the housing 18 of the tray 10 of the emergency stop button 16 is located, which is ready for use at any time is. Since the emergency stop button 16 is red-yellow is an operator of the plant also not enticed, in case of danger first on the e.g. gray running stop button 30 to press, but is immediately known to him and memorable red-yellow emergency stop button 16.
  • FIG. 2 Another security aspect in Fig. 2 is that e.g. at Shift change is easily controllable, whether the communication device 4 is also inserted in its tray 10. This is above all, therefore, makes sense because of the tray 10 as a rule also a charge of the communication device 4 located in, not shown accumulator takes place and so at the beginning of the layer of the subsequent layer, the communication device 4 recharged and thus ready for use.
