A method and RFID writer-reader for selecting a RFID data carrier from a plurality of RFID data carriers detected by an RFID writer-reader, wherein the RFID data carrier of the RFID data carriers detected in productive operation is selected based on the respective degree of correspondence between sequences of actual values determined in productive operation that are compared with at least one sequence of setpoint values so as to reliably select a desired RFID data carrier even in difficult reception situations.

Method and RFID writer-reader for selecting an RFID data carrier

A method for configuring and operating a read/write unit connected to an industrial control device in a system including multiple transponders having unique identification numbers, the read/write unit. During a recognition phase, a plurality of the transponders are detected, at least two of the transponders are repeatedly detected, and during each detection, the unique identification number of each detected transponder and a number of features relating to each detection of that transponder are registered. During an evaluation phase, the registered features are evaluated statistically for each detected transponder, statistical variables are determined for each detected transponder, and the statistical variables are respectively filtered using filter criteria. The unique identification number of one of the detected transponders that meets the filter criteria is reported to the industrial control device as a detected transponder to provide unambiguous identification of the closest transponder to the read/write unit, even in densely packed surroundings.

Method for implementing and operating, and a read/write unit, for a system including multiple wirelessly readable transponders

A system and a method for graphical interconnection of hardware signals of a device, (e.g., a controller device) are provided. The graphical interconnection can now be implemented in a simple manner so that a user can perform this function intuitively and without knowledge of the address convention used in the engineering system. This may be achieved by the inventive system and by the inventive method by the hardware signals being interconnected graphically with program elements of a programming environment using drag & drop features in a graphical user interface.

Graphical interconnection of hardware signals

The invention relates to a system and a method for providing specifications for a project, in particular for an engineering project for creating an automation solution. The system comprises first means for creating a file containing the specifications and at least one project planning environment for creating a solution on the basis of the specifications, with the file containing the specifications being imported into the at least one project planning environment as meta knowledge. A simple provision of specifications to be used for a project is hereby enabled.

System and method for rule-based distributed engineering

The invention relates to a method, a computer program product and a device for providing user information relating to a screen object selected by a user with a pointer tool within a graphical user interface. In order to provide the most comprehensive assistance possible to a user when operating the pointer tool, the following method steps are proposed:

Method, device and computer program product for providing user information within a graphical user interface

The invention relates to a scrolling facility for moving information (I) shown in a display area (), with recognition means for identifying higher-ranking elements () from the displayed information (T) and fixing means for fixing the position (Fix) of at least one higher-ranking element within the display area, with the fixing means being embodied such that the at least one higher-ranking element remains fixed while at least one of the subordinate elements () assigned to the higher ranking element () is visible in the display area ().

Scrolling facility with fixing mechanism

The invention relates to a device for displaying information, data and/or input elements on an interface (), in particular on a screen, with at least one register () for displaying a subset of information, data and/or input elements, with the at least one register having a selectable, sensitive area on the interface and with means for showing the content () of the at least one register () on selection of the sensitive area () of the register ().
