In a method for operating a drive system having a plurality of inverters, a respective electric motor is fed from the AC-side terminal of the respective inverter, the DC-side terminals of the respective inverters are connected in parallel with one another and this parallel connection is connected to the DC-side terminal of a rectifier, each inverter has semiconductor switches driven according to a respective pulse width modulation, the inverters are arranged as bus subscribers of a data bus to which a module designed as master is also connected, and the master assigns the bus addresses to the inverters and thereafter to each inverter the polarity of its pulse width modulation.

Method for operating a drive system and drive system for carrying out the method

A method for integrating a further bus subscriber into a bus system, and a bus system, having a master module and subscribers disposed in series, includes the temporally consecutive method steps: in a first method step, the further bus subscriber transmits a data packet to the master module in order to log in to the master module, in a second method step, a bus subscriber disposed between the further bus subscriber and the master module stops the data packet and checks whether the bus system has already received a release, in a third method step, the first bus subscriber forwards the data packet to the master module if the bus system has not yet received a release, or in a third, in particular an alternative, method step, if the bus system has already received a release, the bus subscriber stores the data packet and waits until the release of the bus system is revoked and after the release has been revoked, forwards the stored data packet to the master module.

Method for allocating addresses to a plurality of bus subscribers in a bus system that includes a master module and bus system having a master module and a plurality of bus subscribers

In a method for the emergency shutdown of a bus system, and a bus system, having a master module and bus subscribers disposed in series, the master module and the bus subscribers sending data packets to one another with the aid of a data line, the method has the temporally consecutive method steps: in a first method step, a bus subscriber and/or the master module detect(s) an error status, in a second method step, the bus subscriber and/or the master module send(s) an emergency signal to all bus subscribers and to the master module, in a third method step, a further bus subscriber receives the emergency signal, immediately forwards it to an adjacent bus subscriber and simultaneously evaluates it, and in a fourth method step, the further bus subscriber shuts itself down automatically.

Method for the emergency shutdown of a bus system, and bus system

Bus system and method for allocating addresses to a plurality of bus subscribers in a bus system

Method for integrating a further bus subscriber into a bus system, and bus system for integrating a further bus subscriber therein

In a method for initializing a bus system, and a bus system having a master module and serially disposed bus subscribers, the master module asks the bus subscribers to log into the master module. After logging into the master module, each bus subscriber waits a predefined period of time to see whether a further bus subscriber logs into the master module, and closes the bus system if no further bus subscriber logs into the master module within the predefined period of time.
