Definitions
- the invention relates to an automation device with a coverable display device for displaying and / or displaying current device information.
- LEDs with different colors and flashing frequencies are used today, which can indicate the status or a fault of an automation device.
- LED technology is that no sensitive displays have to be used to display information in the automation world characterized by adverse environmental conditions.
- a mobile phone is known from JP 2003 198689 A, which has a flexible roll-up display for displaying additional information.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a display option for displaying information for automation devices which can represent a higher information content and is protected against negative influences of the environment in the adverse environment of an automation device.
- an automation device with at least one first display device for displaying and / or displaying current device information, the display device being designed in such a way that the area for displaying and / or displaying the additional information is arranged such that it can be covered and for displaying and / or or display of the device information is exposed.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that in the automation environment, device-related display of information is desired or necessary.
- the information content that can be displayed should be significantly greater than is the case with * , previous automation devices which only have an LED display.
- it must be ensured that the display is protected in such a way that it is not damaged by external influences in the event of adverse environmental conditions, such as those which generally prevail in an automation environment.
- the fact according to the invention that the display for displaying or visualizing additional information on an automation device can be covered makes it possible to use this automation device despite the display under adverse conditions. If the information that can be shown on the display is required, the display can be exposed. In this case, the information is then visible to a technician on the system. If no information is required or if the device is working properly condition, the display is covered and cannot be damaged.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least one second display device is provided for displaying and / or displaying at least one current device status.
- a second display device is also provided, which gives information about the basic state of the automation device. This display device can, for example, only serve to indicate that there is a fault at all or that the device is working in the correct state. More detailed information can then by a technician on site over the coverable - are taken 'display when it is exposed.
- a second display device is particularly advantageous because in this case the coverable display does not have to be exposed in order to be able to see the basic state of the device.
- the display only has to be exposed if a signal or information is given via the second display device in such a way that there is a fault and, if necessary, there is a need for information for a mechanic.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the second display device is designed as an LED display.
- Such a display device is particularly easy to implement and harsh automation environment characterized by a high level of insensitivity to environmental conditions.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the second display device is provided for signaling a malfunction of the device.
- the second display device is provided for signaling a malfunction of the device.
- Such an LED display can be used to easily signal that there is a fault, for example, on the automation device. If the LEDs are designed accordingly, it is immediately clear from a relatively long distance in the area of the system that, for example, a certain automation device is not working properly and there is a fault.
- the signaling of the basic device status by this second display device is thus simple, inexpensive and advantageous for the installer on site in that the device status can be easily recognized. Faults are therefore not easily overlooked.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the first display device is provided for a particularly detailed description of a malfunction of the device. If an automation device, for example via the LED display, which is present in an advantageous embodiment of the invention in addition to the first display device, indicates that there is a fault, a detailed description of the device status can be provided on the first display device. Here, detailed device data can be specified and diagnosis can be carried out by the installer on site. As information that is provided by the automation device via the first display device, it is conceivable here that work instructions are provided depending on the fault condition or also detailed information about subsystems that may have failed. On the first display device, which is covered in normal operation, any information necessary for the operation and the maintenance of the automation device are relevant.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the area for displaying and / or displaying the device information of the first display device is provided for automatic exposure. It is particularly advantageous here that, for example in the event of an existing or existing fault, the first display device is able to display the detailed information automatically, that is, without further action by a user. It is conceivable here, for example, that an automation device which does not have a second display device, for example in the form of LEDs, automatically exposes the first display device in the event of a fault, so that the fault can be recognized and corresponding information can be read on the display device.
- the first display device is automatically extended when it is addressed, for example, by a remote control the first display device receives information that there is a malfunction and could cause the first display device to be exposed via, for example, the remote control or another control button on the automation device
- the display device is rather automatically extended or exposed at the push of a button or by remote control and the information is thus accessible.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the area for displaying and / or displaying the device information of the first display device is provided for manual exposure by a user. This is particularly advantageous if a simple configuration of the automation device is desired.
- a further advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the first display device is designed as an extendable, in particular flexible, roll display.
- roll displays as are known, for example, in the case of mobile devices, can be used in the context of the automation device. These roll displays are big enough ;; to represent a lot of information. At the same time, they can be rolled up and thus disappear within the housing of the automation device. For example, a mechanic can simply pull on a tab on the roll display and roll out the roll display and see the corresponding information.
- the roll displays used here are flexible and have a layer thickness of approximately 0.5 mm.
- the roll displays use electrochromic molecules that change color as soon as electrical voltage is applied.
- the core of the display consists of an electrolyte film, in which a pattern is embossed. Certain parts of the electrolyte film are alternately activated by means of electronics in order to be able to display information.
- the electrochromic molecules are alternately activated by means of electronics in order to be able to display information.
- the advantage of this embodiment is that a space-saving possibility is realized, as a corresponding display can be protected and implemented in a coverable manner, but at the same time can be exposed in a simple manner if necessary, so that the corresponding information can be read or perceived , It is also particularly advantageous that the implementation of such a roll display is extremely space-saving.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the first display device is designed as a hinged display.
- a standard display can be used, which can be embedded in the surface of the housing of the automation device.
- standard displays such as those used in PDAs, can be used.
- the corresponding display can then be covered, for example, by means of a cover element which can be folded away or pushed sideways, or a cover, so that it is not exposed to the adverse environmental conditions during normal use in the context of an automation system. If additional information is required on site, the protective cover can be pushed aside, for example, or folded up or down.

- 2 shows an automation device with an exposed display for displaying automation device information
- 1 shows an automation device 1 which has a first display 2 and a second display 3.
- the second display is designed as an LED display.
- the display or the area 21 for displaying information from the first display 2 is covered in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 2 shows an automation device 1 in which the first display device 2 is exposed such that the area 21 for displaying the information of the first display device 2 is not covered and the information that is shown there is visible.
- the automation device 1 signals, for example, via the second display device 3 that there is a fault.
- a user of the automation device 1 can now expose the first display device 2 in such a way that the. Information on area 21 becomes visible for display.
- this exposure is carried out manually by pulling out a so-called roll display which is rolled up in the idle state within the housing of the automation device 1.
- the area 21 for displaying the information or additional information is exposed automatically, for example by remote control or by a control button on the automation device 1.
- a display device 2 that can be covered by a protective cover is also conceivable.
- the protective cover would be folded away for exposure.
- the second display 3 shown in FIG. 1 can also be implemented in a different form than via LEDs. Any other signals, for example also acoustic signals, are conceivable here.
- the invention relates to an automation device 1 with a coverable display device 2 for displaying and / or displaying current device information.
- the area 21 for displaying information during normal operation of the automation device is covered and thus protected.
- the coverable display device 2 is designed as a roll display or covered by a cover that can be folded away. It can be exposed automatically or by a user when there is a need for appropriate device information.
