In a method for parameterising at least one device (), at least one environmental value () of the device is determined via at least one sensor and/or an automation component. It is checked whether parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value in a parameter database (). If parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value () in the parameter database (), the device () is parameterised with parameters from the parameter database (). If no parameters are allocated to the at least one environmental value () in the parameter database (), the device () is parameterised with new parameters. The new parameters are then allocated () to the at least one environmental value () in the parameter database ().

Method for parameterising at least one device

In a method for operating a system, which has a plurality of sensors (), the sensors () provide first sensor data () to a primary process (). Furthermore, the sensors () provide second sensor data (). At least a part of the first sensor data () and the second sensor data () is subjected to an analysis (). A result () of the analysis () is used in at least one secondary process () of the primary process ().

Method for operating a system

The at least one value is respectively determined from at least one measured value of the sensors (-) in a method for determining at least one physical value in a space () in which several sensors (-) are arranged which are set up to measurer the at least one value, for several positions () in the space () where there is no sensor (-). A system which is set up in order to determine the at least one physical value in the space () has several sensors (-) which are arranged in the space (). Furthermore, it has a database, in which information about the space () is stored, and a computer which is set up in order to determine the at least one value by means of the method.

Method and system for determining at least one physical value

A device for detecting a twist angle and/or a torque of a shaft occurring on the shaft and methods for operating the device uses at least one first encoder and at least one second encoder at a predefined spacing therefrom. Each encoder influences at least one coil parameter, is associated with at least a part of the circumference of the shaft, and has at least one track having at least one period per revolution of the shaft. At least first and second inductive sensors scan the first and second encoders, respectively. Each inductive sensor provides a respective sensor signal reflecting at least one measure for the rotational angle of the shaft within the period, and a difference ascertainment unit ascertains and provides the twist angle of the shaft as an angle difference of the two rotational angles detected by the inductive sensors.
