Description

Elektrische Steckverbindung mit Kodierung Electrical plug connection with coding

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Steckverbindung nach dem Oberbegriff des An- spruchs 1 und ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 9.The invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method according to claim 9.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Steckverbindungen bekannt, die miteinander zu verbindende elektrische Kontakte aufweisen, die im Bereich der Automatisierungstechnik je nach Art des verwendeten Busstandards unterschiedliche Kontakt- bzw. Pinbelegun- gen aufweisen.Plug connections are known from the prior art which have electrical contacts to be connected to one another, which have different contact or pin assignments in the field of automation technology, depending on the type of bus standard used.

Um zu verhindern, dass Steckverbinderteile für unterschiedliche Bussysteme versehentlich zusammengesteckt werden, ist es bekannt, die Steckverbinderteile mit geometrischen Besonderheiten zu versehen (z.B. mit Stegen an einem der Steckverbinderteile und korrespondierenden Ausnehmungen am anderen der Steckverbinderteile), die ein Zusammenstecken nicht zusammengehöriger Steckverbinderteile verhindern.In order to prevent plug connector parts from being accidentally mated for different bus systems, it is known to provide the connector parts with geometric features (e.g., with lands on one of the connector parts and corresponding recesses on the other of the connector parts) which prevent mating of mating connector parts.

Insoweit hat sich der bekannte Stand der Technik an sich bewährt. Es ist aber wünschenswert, die gattungsgemäße Steckverbindung derart weiterzubilden, dass eine wei- tergehende Sicherheit gegen Fehlbeschaltungen gewährleistet wird.In that regard, the known state of the art has proven itself. However, it is desirable to further develop the generic plug connection in such a way that further protection against faulty connections is ensured.

Die Lösung dieses Problems ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung.The solution to this problem is the object of the invention.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1. Sie schafft zudem das Verfahren des Anspruchs 9.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1. It also provides the method of claim 9.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

Nach der Grundidee der Erfindung ist wenigstens eines der Steckverbinderteile mit ei- nem RFID-Tag versehen (RFID := Radio Frequency Identification; in der deutschen Fachliteratur auch Funkerkennung oder Funkerkennungsbaustein genannt, der vorzugsweise einen Transponder und eine Sende-Empfangseinheit enthält und in ein überge- ordnetes Datenverarbeitungssystem integrierbar ist, um die Daten auf dem Tag verarbeiten zu können), in welchem Daten gespeichert oder speicherbar sind, die von einer korrespondierenden Empfangseinheit am korrespondierenden Steckverbinderteil auslesbar sind, wobei im Falle eines Zusammensteckens nicht kompatibler Steckerbinderteile direkt am Steckverbinder oder an einer übergeordneten Datenverarbeitungseinheit eine Warnung abgegeben wird.According to the basic idea of the invention, at least one of the connector parts is provided with an RFID tag (RFID: = Radio Frequency Identification, also referred to in the specialist literature as radio identification or radio identification module, which preferably contains a transponder and a transceiver unit, and into an overlay - arranged data processing system is integrable in order to process the data on the day), in which data are stored or stored, which can be read by a corresponding receiving unit on the corresponding connector part, wherein in the case of a mating incompatible Steckerbinderteile directly on the connector or to a parent Data processing unit is issued a warning.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung zeichnen sich die Steckverbinderteile der Steckverbindung dadurch aus, dass vor, bei oder nach dem Kontaktschluss der elektri- sehen Kontakte der beiden Steckverbinderteile bei einem ersten Zusammenstecken von dem einen Steckverbinderteil in das RFID-Tag des zweiten Steckerbinderteils Informationen - insbesondere eine Datenadresse - geschrieben werden, die dort gespeichert werden. Wird die Steckverbindung später gelöst - z.B. für Wartungs- oder Reparaturarbeiten -, ist derart vor bei oder nach einem erneuten Zusammenstecken überprüfbar, ob die vorgespeicherte Adresse des zu kontaktierenden Steckverbinderteils korrekt ist. Derart können Fehlbeschaltungen nach Wartungs- und Reparaturarbeiten besonders weitgehend vermieden werden.According to a development of the invention, the connector parts of the connector are characterized in that before, during or after the contact closure of the electrical see contacts of the two connector parts in a first mating of the one connector part in the RFID tag of the second connector binder part information - especially one Data address - are written, which are stored there. If the connector is loosened later - e.g. for maintenance or repair work - is verifiable before or after a re-mating, whether the pre-stored address of the connector part to be contacted is correct. In this way, faulty circuits after maintenance and repair work can be largely avoided.

Ergänzend können weitergehende Informationen gespeichert sein, so Typ und Art des zu verwendenden Steckverbinders als auch sonstige Daten.In addition, further information can be stored, so type and type of connector to be used as well as other data.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert, wobei auch weitere Vorteile der Erfindung deutlich werden. Es zeigt: Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines teilweise in Sprengansicht gezeigten Steckerteils und eines Buchsenteils einer ersten erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbindung;The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing with reference to exemplary embodiments, whereby further advantages of the invention will become apparent. 1 shows a perspective view of a plug part and a socket part of a first plug connection according to the invention, partly shown in a perspective view;

Fig. 2 Steckverbindungen an einem Verteilergehäuse; und Fig. 3a,b eine weitere perspektivische Ansicht der Anordnung aus Fig. 1 und eine ver- größerte Ansicht der Bereiche der Steckgesichter der beiden Steckverbinderteile; und Fig. 4 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines teilweise in Sprengansicht gezeigten Steckerteils und eines Buchsenteils einer weiteren erfmdungsgemäßen Steckverbindung.Fig. 2 plug connections to a distributor housing; and FIGS. 3a, b show a further perspective view of the arrangement from FIG. 1 and an enlarged view of the areas of the plug-in faces of the two connector parts; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a connector part partially shown in a blasting view and a socket part of a further inventive plug connection.

Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen jeweils Steckerverbindungen mit einem ersten Steckverbinderteil - einem Steckerteil 1 - und einem korrespondierenden zweiten Steckverbinderteil - einem Buchsenteil 2.1 to 3 each show plug connections with a first connector part - a plug part 1 - and a corresponding second connector part - a socket part. 2

Nach Fg. 1 sind das Steckerteil 1 und das Buchsenteil 2 jeweils in vorteilhafter Art als RJ45-Stecker- und Buchsenteil ausgebildet, die jeweils in ein zur Steckverbindung gehöriges ein- oder hier mehrteiliges Steckeradaptergehäuse 3 bzw. ein Buchsenadapter- gehäuse 4 montierbar sind, um die an sich für eine Büroumgebung konzipierten Steckverbinderteile auch in rauerer Umgebung einsetzen zu können, so beispielsweise im Bereich der Automatisierungstechnik.According to Fig. 1, the plug part 1 and the female part 2 are each formed in an advantageous manner as RJ45 plug and socket part, each in a belonging to the connector one or multi-part plug adapter housing 3 and a female adapter 4 housing are mounted to to be able to use the connector parts conceived for an office environment also in rougher surroundings, for example in the field of automation technology.

Einen derartigen Einsatzfall zeigt Fig. 2. Hier sind mehrere der Steckerbindungen an einem Verteilergehäuse 5 angeordnet, wobei die Buchsenteile 2 mit den Adaptergehäusen jeweils fest an dem Verteilergehäuse 5 vormontiert sind, und wobei die Steckerteile 1 mit ihren Adaptergehäusen zum Anschluss an ein Kabel ausgelegt sind (wobei letzte- res hier nicht dargestellt ist).Here, a plurality of the plug connections are arranged on a distributor housing 5, wherein the socket parts 2 with the adapter housings are each firmly pre-mounted on the distributor housing 5, and wherein the connector parts 1 are designed with their adapter housings for connection to a cable (the latter is not shown here).

Wenigstens eines der Steckverbinderteile 1, 2 weist eine drahtlos ansprechbare Kodiervorrichtung auf, die als Funkerkennung ausgebildet ist (RFID-Tag 6) ausgebildet ist.At least one of the connector parts 1, 2 has a wirelessly addressable coding device, which is designed as a radio identifier (RFID tag 6) is formed.

Hier ist das RFID-Tag 6 jeweils beispielhaft an dem Adaptergehäusegehäuse 3 des Steckerteils 1 angeordnet, wobei das korrespondierende Steckverbinderteil - hier das Buchsenteil 2 - zumindest eine Empfangseinrichtung 8 oder eine kombinierte Sende- und Empfangseinheit aufweist, mit der es möglich ist, zumindest Daten aus dem RFID- Tag 6 abzufragen und vorzugsweise auch Daten in das RFID-Tag 6 zu schreiben. Zur Daten- und ggf. Energieübertragung mit dem RFID-Tag 6 können an diesem und ggf. dem korrespondierenden Steckverbinderteil jeweils Induktivitäten 9 verschiedener Bauform (siehe Fig. 3 oder Fig. 4) am Steckerteil 1 und am Buchsenteil 2 angeordnet sein. Nach Fig.l bis 3 sind die Induktivitäten 9 jeweils um die Adaptergehäusegehäuse 3, 4 gewickelt, während nach Fig. 4 gedruckte Induktivitäten 9 auf einer Folie eingesetzt werden.Here, the RFID tag 6 is arranged in each case by way of example on the adapter housing 3 of the plug part 1, wherein the corresponding connector part - here the socket part 2 - at least one receiving device 8 or a combined transmitting and receiving unit, with which it is possible, at least data from the RFID tag 6 query and preferably also to write data in the RFID tag 6. For data transmission and possibly energy transmission with the RFID tag 6, inductances 9 of different designs (see FIG. 3 or FIG. 4) can be arranged on the plug part 1 and on the socket part 2 on this and, if applicable, the corresponding connector part. According to Fig.l to 3, the inductors 9 are wound around the adapter housing 3, 4, while according to FIG. 4 printed inductors 9 are used on a film.

Das korrespondierende Steckverbinderteil - hier das Buchsenteil 2 - bzw. eine an dieses angeschlossene übergeordnete Steuerungseinrichtung sind derart ausgelegt, dass bei bzw. nach der erstmaligen Installation entweder eine individuelle Bezeichnung bzw. Adresse in das RFID-Tag 6 des Steckverbinderteils 1 eingeschrieben wird, die später aus diesem wieder abgesendet wird bzw. abfragbar ist und/oder dass zumindest im RFID-Tag 6 vorgespeicherte Informationen abfragen und an eine übergeordnetes Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung übermittelt werden können, welche diese Information abspeichert.The corresponding connector part - here the female part 2 - or connected to this higher-level control device are designed so that during or after the initial installation either an individual name or address in the RFID tag 6 of the connector part 1 is written, the later is sent again from this or queried and / or that query at least in the RFID tag 6 pre-stored information and can be transmitted to a higher-level data processing device, which stores this information.

Derart ist es möglich, auf einfache Weise sicherzustellen, dass nur zusammengehörige Steckverbinderteile miteinander verbunden werden, da im Falle der Fehlbeschaltung eine Warnung z.B. an einer LED 7 angezeigt wird.In this way, it is possible to ensure in a simple manner that only associated connector parts are connected to one another, since in the event of a faulty circuit, a warning, e.g. is displayed on an LED 7.

Zudem ist in dem Fall, dass das RFID-Tag 6 des einen Steckerbinderteils 1 vom ande- ren Steckverbinderteil aus beschreibbar ist, möglich, dem Steckverbinderteil eine individuelle Adresse zuzuordnen und diese im Steckverbinderteil abzuspeichern.In addition, in the event that the RFID tag 6 of the one connector connector part 1 is writable from the other connector part, it is possible to associate the connector part with an individual address and to store it in the connector part.

Fehlbeschaltungen nach einem Wartungsfall können auf diese Weise sicher vermieden werden. Dass es vorteilhaft ist, wenn derart eine Fehlbeschaltung ausgeschlossen wer- den kann, veranschaulicht Fig. 2, welche eine dichte Anordnung der Steckverbinder am dem Verteilergehäuse 5 offenbart.Misconnections after a maintenance case can be safely avoided in this way. FIG. 2, which discloses a sealed arrangement of the plug connectors on the distributor housing 5, illustrates that it is advantageous if such a faulty circuit can be excluded.

Denkbar ist auch, dass beide der Steckverbinderteile einer Steckverbindung RFID-Tags 6 aufweisen (hier nicht dargestellt).It is also conceivable that both of the connector parts of a connector RFID tags 6 have (not shown here).

Aus Platzgründen bietet es sich an, die RFID-Tags 6, die Anzeigeeinrichtung 7 und die Einrichtung 8 jeweils an den Adaptergehäusen 3, 4 anzuordnen. In Hinsicht auf die Handhabung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Fehler bereits voreilend vor dem Schließen der elektrischen Kontakte erkannt und angezeigt werden, so dass die Anzeigeeinrichtung (LED 7) beispielsweise bereits vor dem Zusammenstecken der beiden Steckverbinderteile 1, 2 leuchtet.For reasons of space, it makes sense to arrange the RFID tags 6, the display device 7 and the device 8 respectively on the adapter housings 3, 4. In terms of handling, it is advantageous if the errors are already detected and displayed ahead of the closing of the electrical contacts, so that the display device (LED 7), for example, already lit before mating the two connector parts 1, 2.

Wird das eine der Steckverbinderteile an einem Gehäuse - z.B. einem Verteilergehäuse 5 - angeordnet, kann die Sende- und Empfangseinheit 8, mit welcher die Daten in das RFID-Tag eingeschrieben oder aus diesem abgefragt werden, auch an diesem Gehäuse 5 angeordnet sein. If one of the connector parts is arranged on a housing, for example a distributor housing 5, the transmitting and receiving unit 8 with which the data are written to or interrogated from the RFID tag can also be arranged on this housing 5.
