The invention relates to a console () and a safety console () having dual-stage functionality. The console () has a key () and a contact plate (). According to one exemplary embodiment, the key () has a dual-stage safety shutdown mat () on which electrically conductive layers () are located. The contact plate () has two contact arrangements having electrically conductive safety contact elements () and key contact elements (). The console () is configured to connect the electrically conductive safety contact elements () by means of the safety contact layer () in an inactive state, thus continuously monitoring the presence and active contact state of the key () via a safety switch (). In an active state, the key () is configured to also connect the key contact elements () via the key contact layer () on the safety shutdown mat () such that the activation can be registered by an evaluation circuit ().

Security keyboard

An arrangement and a method for processing data of multiprotocol data packets comprises at least one multiplexer connected to input ports; at least one first programmable data processing unit configured to provide header words and into payload words; a buffer management unit configured to generate localization data which specifies a corresponding memory area of the payload memory; a descriptor generator unit for generating data packet descriptors; a RISC processor configured to generate, in dependence on the data packet descriptors, header data for transmit data packets and payload processing instructions for processing data of the data packet payload words, stored in the payload memory, of the associated received data packet; and at least one second programmable data processing unit configured to process the payload words from the payload memory in accordance with the payload processing instructions and assembles the payload words with the header data to form transmit data packets.

Multichannel processor

A method and a programmable unit for bit field shifting in a memory device in a programmable unit as a result of the execution of an instruction, in which a bit segment is shifted within a first memory unit to a second memory unit, are presented. The bit segment is read with a first bit length from a first bit field in the first memory unit starting at a first start point. The bit segment that has been read is stored in the first bit field in the second memory unit starting at a second start point. The first or the second start points is updated by a predetermined value and the updated start point is stored for subsequent method steps.

Method and programmable unit for bit field shifting

A device () to control processing of data elements (data_i), in which a thread is assigned to each data element (data_i), comprises a first unit (CS), which, during a first cycle, fetches an instruction (cs_ir_s) that is entered in the context of the thread assigned to the incoming data element (data_i), a second unit (IF), which, during a second cycle, fetches an instruction (if_ir_s) that succeeds a stipulated instruction in a stipulated thread, and a third unit (ID), which, during the second cycle, decodes the instruction prescribed for processing of the data element (data_i) and generates a data element processing signal (dec_o).
