An inductive sensor () has a substrate (), on which multiple transmitter/receiver coils () are arranged side by side. It can be operated in such a way that the transmitter/receiver coils () are each stimulated independently of one another at a frequency of more than 100 MHz.

Inductive sensor and method for the operation thereof

A wireless IO-link communication network has a main master and at least one device which have a bidirectional wireless communication between the main master and the at least one device, as well as a backup master which is connected to the main master and the at least one device and is configured to control the at least one device. In a method for operating the IOLW communication network with such a backup master, the backup master controls the at least one device instead of the main master.

Wireless IO-link communication network having an additional master and method for its operation

A fixing element for electrical devices, wherein at least one electrical device can be fixed to the fixing element, has at least one coupler, which forms at least one coupling to the at least one electrical device fixed to the fixing element, via which coupling electrical energy and/or data can be transmitted to the at least one electrical device, wherein the coupling is a capacitive and/or inductive coupling. In addition, equipment includes such a fixing element and a least one electrical device, which is fixed to the electrical element.
