20100214091 | VERFAHREN ZUM BETREIBEN EINES FELDGERATES, SOWIE KOMMUNIKATIONSEINHEIT UND FELDGERAT - A method for operating a field device of an industrial process, and/or automation, technology, wherein at least one communication unit is connected with the field device for sending and/or for receiving a signal. An electrical power loss of the communication unit and/or a need of the communication unit for electrical energy, especially in the form of electrical voltage, are/is reduced for an adjustable period of time. Furthermore, a communication unit, as well as to a field device with a communication unit is provided for. | 08-26-2010 |
20100297942 | METHOD FOR INTEGRATING A FIELD DEVICE INTO A PROCESS AUTOMATIION TECHNOLOGY NETWORK - A method for integrating at least one field device, which is connected with a mobile unit, into a network of process automation technology. The mobile unit authenticates itself via a connection in the network, and that it receives at least one integration parameter for integration into the network ( | 11-25-2010 |
20110044242 | METHOD FOR INTEGRATING A PARTICIPANT INTO A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK OF PROCESS AUTOMATION - A method for integrating a new participant into a wireless communication network of process automation technology, wherein the network has at least one node. The at least one node is selected at least on the basis of a predeterminable criterion, and that the at least one selected node is placed in an integration mode, which enables integration of the new participant into the network. | 02-24-2011 |
20130141888 | Field Device for Automation Technology - A field device for automation technology, wherein the field device has a metal housing for accommodating a field device electronics, an RFID chip and a first RFID antenna for wireless communication and/or energy transmission between an RFID reading device arranged outside of the field device. The first RFID antenna is spaced from a neighboring wall of the metal housing, wherein shielding is provided between the first RFID antenna and the neighboring wall of the metal housing. The separation between the first RFID antenna and the wall of the metal housing and the shielding between the first RFID antenna and the neighboring wall of the metal housing are so dimensioned, that the metal housing does not prevent wireless communication and/or energy transmission between the RFID reading device and the field device. | 06-06-2013 |
20140197930 | Field Device for Automation Technology - A field device for automation technology, which has a metal housing for accommodating a field device electronics. On the field device at least one opening is provided, which is closable via a lid composed at least partially of a non-metallic material, wherein an RFID chip and an RF antenna are arranged in the housing in such a manner that communication and energy exchange with an RFID reading device arranged outside of the field device can transpire, and wherein the reading device is so embodied that it provides sufficient energy to the RFID chip when the energy supply to the field device is interrupted, in order to read out via the RFID antenna the data stored on the RFID chip. | 07-17-2014 |
