A field device for connection to a fieldbus, wherein the field device is designed to exchange via the fieldbus a data transmission object with a host computer or with an additional field device, wherein the data transmission object has a plurality of freely loadable, transmission berths, and wherein the field device includes a data mapping structure, which establishes an association between variables to be transmitted and transmission berths of the data transmission object.

Flexibly configurable, data transmission object

A programmable field mounted device which operates when a computational process operates in the device electronics. The device has an activated first memory area storing a first programmable configuration and a deactivated second memory area storing a second programmable configuration. the second memory area is modified. Simultaneously, the first programmable configuration in the first memory area is executed by the computational process. Upon completion of configuring the second memory area, the first memory area is deactivated and the second memory area is activated for executing by the computational process.

Programmable field mounted device

To program the device during running of a computational process in device electronics, the device having an activated first memory area storing a first programmable configuration and a deactivated second memory area storing a second programmable configuration. The second programmable configuration is modified. Simultaneously, the first programmable configuration in the first memory area is executed by the computational process. Upon completion of configuring the second memory area, the first memory area is deactivated and the second memory area is activated for executing by the computational process.

Method and system for switching active configuration memory during on-line operation of programmable field mounted device

The invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising at least one device for preventing unintentional movements.

Hill holder device for a motor vehicle

An electronic control unit for an automated transmission and/or an automated clutch in the power train of a motor vehicle is connected with one or more sensors denoting one or more activities by the operator of the vehicle. The control unit can become operative in response to a signal denoting the actuation of a brake and/or in response to a signal denoting that the ignition system of the vehicle has been operated to start the engine.

Power train with automated transmission

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling the operation of an engageable and disengable torque transmitting system and of an automated transmission that is connected to a differential and to the torque transmitting system by an input shaft. The system and the transmission are disposed in a power train of a motor vehicle having variable-speed drive unit, and the transmission is shiftable into any one of a plurality of gears. The torque transmitting system and the automated transmission comprise a control unit and at least one actuator arranged to vary the extent of engagement of the torque transmitting system and to shift the transmission into a selected gear. Further, there are means for transmitting signals between the control unit and the drive unit to controllably reduce the speed of said drive unit in response to at least one initial stage of automated shifting of said transmission into a selected gear and to controllably increase the speed of said drive unit during a next-following stage of automated shifting of said transmission into said selected gear.

Apparatus and method for controlling a torque transmitting system and a

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for automated controlling of an engageable and disengageable torque transmitting system and of a shifting a transmission in a power drive of a propulsion unit of an automotive vehicle, having at least one actuator for gear shifting and for operating the torque transmitting system, and having a control unit for controlling the at least one actuator and, further, having at least one sensor connected in signal-transmitting communication with a control unit. The sensor is arranged to operate between the control unit and the transmission and to monitor conditions in the transmission during automated shifting and to detect a predetermined condition while the system is disengaged and, upon detection of such predetermined condition, to undo, at least temporarily and at least partially, the preceding gear shifting, and to thereafter resume gear shifting.

Apparatus for controlling automated actuation of torque transmitting

The slip of a friction clutch between the engine and the transmission of a motor vehicle is regulated in such a way that the clutch is caused to operate with slip during transmission of torque which exhibits undesirable vibrations while the the RPM of the engine is within a first partial range, and that the clutch is prevented from operating with slip during transmission of torque which exhibits undesirable vibrations while the RPM of the engine is within second partial range.
