Signalsäule
Description
Signal column

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Signalsäule mit mehreren, im wesentlichen gleich aufgebauten Signalelementen und mit einem Anschlußelement, über das die elektrische Stromversorgung der Signalelemente erfolgt.The invention relates to a signal column with several signal elements of essentially the same structure and with a connection element via which the electrical power supply of the signal elements is provided.

Eine gattungsgemäße Signalsäule ist aus der DE 195 13 983 Al bereits bekannt. Die Signalsäule besteht hier aus mehreren, ihrer Bauart nach gleichen und übereinander angeordneten Signalelementen. Zur Anbindung einer solchen Signalsäule an ein Bussystem muß nach derzeitigem Stand der Technik eine Ankopplung an das Bussystem über Koppelmodule erfolgen. Die Verkabelung ist wie bei der konventionellen Einspeisung über das Anschlußelement erforderlich. Für jedes Signalelement wird eine 24 V-Speiseleitung benötigt. Alle Signalelemente einer Signalsäule müssen einzeln am Anschlußelement über 0 Schraubklemmen mit der Speiseleitung verbunden werden, was vom Montageaufwand her sehr aufwendig ist.A signal column of this type is already known from DE 195 13 983 Al. The signal column consists of several signal elements of the same design arranged one above the other. In order to connect such a signal column to a bus system, the current state of the art requires that it be connected to the bus system using coupling modules. The wiring is required via the connection element as with conventional power supply. A 24 V supply line is required for each signal element. All signal elements of a signal column must be connected individually to the supply line on the connection element using 0 screw terminals, which is very complex in terms of assembly work.

Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Signalsäule der obengenannten Art zu schaffen, die für die Anbindung an ein Kommunikationssystem geeignet ist und dabei nur geringen Verdrahtungsaufwand erfordert.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a signal column of the above-mentioned type which is suitable for connection to a communication system and requires only minimal wiring effort.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen dem Anschlußelement und einem der Signalelemente ein Adaptermodul eingebunden ist, das einen Kommunikations-Baustein als Schnittstelle zur Ansteuerung der Signalelemente in Abhängigkeit von Signalen eines an das Anschlußelement anschließbaren Bussystems aufweist.The task is solved by integrating an adapter module between the connection element and one of the signal elements, which has a communication module as an interface for controlling the signal elements depending on signals from a bus system that can be connected to the connection element.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing.

GR 9G G 3278GR 9G G 3278

FIG 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Signalsäule, FIG 2 ein Adaptermodul der Signalsäule nach FIG 1.FIG 1 shows a signal column according to the invention, FIG 2 shows an adapter module of the signal column according to FIG 1.

FIG 1 zeigt eine Signalsäule 1, die im wesentlichen aus mehreren Signalelementen 2, einem Adaptermodul 3 und einem Anschlußelement 4 aufgebaut ist. Die Signalelemente 2 sind gleich aufgebaut. Sie bestehen aus einem topfförmigen Gehäuse, weisen jeweils einen Signalgeber, z.B. eine Glühlampe und Verbindungsleitungen auf. Sie lassen sich in beliebiger Reihenfolge durch Bajonettverbindung mechanisch koppeln, wobei durch die damit verbundene Drehung die Verbindungsleitungen des einen Signalelements 2 mit Verbindungsleitungen des angebundenen anderen Signalelementes kontaktieren. In gleicher Weise läßt sich auch das unterste Signalelement 2 mit dem Anschlußelement 4 mechanisch und elektrisch verbinden. Dadurch ist jedes Signalelement 2 bis zum obersten Signalelement durchkontaktiert. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform gemäß FIG 1 ist zwischen das unterste Signalelement 2 und das Anschlußelement 4 das Adaptermodul 3 eingebaut, welches sich, in seiner äußeren Bauform sowie hinsichtlich der mechanischen und elektrischen Ankopplungsmittel nicht von den Signalelementen 2 unterscheidet und somit ohne Veränderung, d.h. ohne zusätzliche Anpassung der Signalelemente 2 und des Anschlußelements 4 in die Signalsäule 1 integrierbar ist. Das Adaptermodul 3 ist mit einem Kommunikationsbaustein 5 gemäß FIG 2 versehen, z.B. einem bekannten Aktuator-Sensor-Interface-Modul (siehe das Aktuator-Sensor-Interface für die Automation von Werner Kiesel, Otto W. Madelung, 1994, Carl Hanser Verlag München - Wien). Der Kommunikationsbaustein 5 dient 0 zur Kommunikation mit einer entfernt gelegenen Master-Baugruppe. Hierzu ist an das Anschlußelement 4 z.B. eine Zweidrahtleitung anschließbar, über die gemeinsam der Daten- und Energietransfer zum Kommunikationsbaustein 5 erfolgt. Die Daten und die Energien können jedoch auch über separate Lei-5 tung zugeführt werden.FIG 1 shows a signal column 1, which is essentially made up of several signal elements 2, an adapter module 3 and a connection element 4. The signal elements 2 are constructed in the same way. They consist of a pot-shaped housing, each of which has a signal generator, e.g. a light bulb and connecting cables. They can be mechanically coupled in any order using a bayonet connection, whereby the associated rotation causes the connecting cables of one signal element 2 to contact the connecting cables of the other connected signal element. In the same way, the lowest signal element 2 can also be mechanically and electrically connected to the connection element 4. This means that every signal element 2 is connected through to the top signal element. In the embodiment according to the invention according to FIG 1, the adapter module 3 is installed between the lowest signal element 2 and the connection element 4, which in its external design and in terms of the mechanical and electrical coupling means does not differ from the signal elements 2 and can therefore be integrated into the signal column 1 without modification, i.e. without additional adaptation of the signal elements 2 and the connection element 4. The adapter module 3 is provided with a communication module 5 according to FIG 2, e.g. a known actuator sensor interface module (see the actuator sensor interface for automation by Werner Kiesel, Otto W. Madelung, 1994, Carl Hanser Verlag Munich - Vienna). The communication module 5 is used 0 for communication with a remote master module. For this purpose, a two-wire line, for example, can be connected to the connection element 4, via which the data and energy are transferred to the communication module 5. However, the data and energy can also be supplied via separate cables.
