    摘要: A gateway for retrieving telemetry data from a field device and for transmitting the retrieved telemetry data to a cloud server, wherein the gateway comprises a cloud communication component which is designed to specify periodic request points in time at which an internal gateway request for a current variable value of a variable of the telemetry data is to be made, as well as a field device communication component which is designed to carry out a variable retrieval of the current variable value from the field device at periodic retrieval points in time. The gateway is designed to set the phase of the periodic retrieval points in time relative to the periodic request points in time such that the respective current variable value has already been retrieved from the field device at the request point in time of this gateway request and is present in the field device communication component.

    摘要: A membrane valve, with a valve housing, in which a housing interior is formed, in which housing interior a flexible control membrane is arranged. A drive plunger lies opposite a valve seat and the drive plunger has a shank body with a peripheral outer lateral surface. The outer lateral surface of the shank body of the drive plunger at least in the region of a guide section has a polygonally contoured prismatic shaping with a succession of outer side edges and outer side surfaces, wherein the edges and surfaces extend in the plunger longitudinal direction and the succession alternates in the circumferential direction of the drive plunger.

    摘要: Valve for controlling fluid flows, including a valve housing with a valve bore, in which fluid channels extend from the valve bore to an outer surface of the valve housing, including a first valve member and a second valve member, which are each accommodated linearly moveably in the valve bore. Both the first valve member and the second valve member include a first radial sealing element, which respectively bear in a radially inwardly sealing manner against the first valve member or against the second valve member and in a radially outwardly sealing manner against an inner surface of the valve recess. Each of the first valve member and the second valve member selectively releases and blocks at least one connection between adjacently arranged fluid channels, in which the first valve member is slidably mounted on the second valve member along an axis of movement relative to the second valve member.

    摘要: A safety valve which has two fluidically interconnected safety valves, each of which has a 4/2-way valve function. Each safety valve has a first connecting port and a second connecting port, which are connected to each other in such a way that a fluid flow through the two safety valves, controlled by means of a control valve, to a fluid-actuated drive is prevented if the two safety valves simultaneously adopt a first switching position and such a fluid flow is possible if both valves simultaneously have a second switching state. One safety aspect results from the fact that the above-mentioned fluid flow is also prevented if the two safety valves adopt different switching states.

    摘要: A safety valve arrangement includes a fluid distributor to which a first supply valve, a first pilot valve and a first safety valve are assigned. The first supply valve selectively releases or blocks a first supply channel extending in the fluid distributor between a first supply port and a first working port. The first pilot valve selectively releases or blocks a first pilot channel extending in the fluid distributor between a first pilot air inlet and a first pilot air outlet, and the first safety valve selectively releases or blocks a first safety channel which extends between the first working port and a first safety outlet. A first separation channel, which is permanently open to the environment, is located between the first supply channel and the first pilot channel to ensure a fluid separation between the first supply channel and the first pilot channel.

    摘要: A pivot joint for a robot, including a double-acting pneumatic pivot actuator, which has a first working chamber with a first working port and a second working chamber with a second working port, and further including a valve arrangement having a first valve group for a selective connection of the first working port to one of a pressurization port and an exhaust port, and having a second valve group for a selective connection of the second working port to one of the pressurization port and the exhaust port. The valve arrangement includes a safety valve which is connected to the first working port and to the second working port and which is configured for blocking a connection between the first working port and the second working port in a blocking position and for releasing the connection between the first working port and the second working port in a release position.

    摘要: Continuous condition monitoring of a pneumatic system, and in particular for early fault detection, is provided. The condition monitoring unit is formed with an interface to a memory in which a trained normal condition model is stored as a one-class model, which has been trained in a training phase with normal condition data and represents a normal condition of the pneumatic system. Furthermore, the condition monitoring unit comprises a data interface for continuously acquiring sensor data of the pneumatic system by means of a set of sensors, an extractor for extracting features from the acquired sensor data, a differentiator for determining deviations of the extracted features from learned features of the normal state model by means of a distance metric, a scoring unit for calculating an anomaly score from the determined deviations, and an output unit for outputting the calculated anomaly score.
