Abstract: A safety network for supporting one or more devices in intermittent use, the safety network being susceptible of verification and/or validation as a safety loop and including a safety controller configured to
assess the integrity of the safety network, and
monitor safety sensors and cause safety actuators to respond to any detected safety events in accordance with safety rules.
The safety network implements safety representatives, each configured to
maintain a virtual representation of an associated device in intermittent use, including at least one virtual safety sensor and/or virtual safety actuator,
make the virtual representation available for integrity assessment and monitoring by the safety controller, and
perform wireless data synchronization between the virtual representation and the associated device.
The virtual representation further includes an activation indicator, which determines a safety rule for the safety controller's monitoring and/or for the safety representative's data synchronization.-

Abstract: An electrical module, a backplane for the electrical module, and a method of replacing a fuse for the electrical module. The electrical module includes a circuit board which has a power input port for inputting electric power to electrically drive an external device coupled to the electrical module. The electrical module also includes a fuse holder electrically coupled to the power input port and adapted to receive a fuse. A fuse detecting circuit is arranged on the circuit board and electrically coupled to the fuse via the fuse holder to detect a status of the fuse. An output port is arranged on the circuit board and coupled to the fuse detecting circuit to at least output detecting signals about the status of the fuse to a controller.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for controlling an energy conversion system. The system includes a rotating electrical machine, a machine-side converter, a DC-link, and a grid-side converter. The method includes modulating the machine-side converter for converting an AC voltage of the rotating electrical machine into a DC voltage supplied to the DC-link, and modulating the grid-side converter to convert a DC-link voltage at the DC-link into an AC output voltage to be supplied to an electrical grid, wherein the machine-side converter is modulated with first optimized pulse patterns, which have been optimized such that a peak value of the DC-link voltage or of a DC-link voltage component of the DC-link voltage is constrained to a predetermined value.
