A circuit assembly includes a first signal branch connecting a signal connection to an electrical load via a semiconductor switch and a second signal branch connecting the signal connection to the electrical load via a relay. When a sensor detects a polarity change in an electrical signal within a test time interval, a controller may close the semiconductor switch at a first signal time such that electrical energy is supplied to the electrical load, actuate the relay at a second signal time after the semiconductor switch has been closed, and open the semiconductor switch after the relay has been closed such that electrical energy is supplied to the electrical load solely via the second signal branch.

Circuit assembly

A circuit arrangement which comprises at least two acceleration sensors for measuring an acceleration of at least one part of the hazardous device, at least one logic circuit for evaluating measured values of the at least two acceleration sensors, at least one memory for storing a comparison value, and at least one safety device controlled by an output of the logic circuit. The safety device is adapted to bring the hazardous device into a safe state in response to a switching command received via the output of the logic circuit. The logic circuit transmits the switching command to the safety device when the measured acceleration of the part of the hazardous device or a value derived from the measured acceleration has a predetermined ratio to the stored comparison value. Furthermore, a method for monitoring a hazardous device is also disclosed.

Circuit arrangement and method for monitoring a hazardous device by evaluating the acceleration

A switch cabinet ( ) comprises a case ( ), several modules ( ) and a supporting rail ( ), the modules ( ) being secured on the supporting rail ( ). The disclosed switch cabinet ( ) is characterised in that it is designed in functional blocks and modules, so that all modules ( ) required by a machine and only those modules are mounted in the switch cabinet case ( ).
