A method initializes a security bus in a security bus system. The method includes scanning the security bus in order to identify slave units connected to the security bus, and determining, for each identified slave unit, whether the slave unit is a standard slave unit or a slave unit that itself provides input data for the security controller. The method further includes assigning, for each identified slave unit, an address to the slave unit. If the slave unit is a standard slave unit, then the slave unit is automatically assigned a communication address. If the slave unit is a slave unit that itself provides input data for the security controller, then the slave unit is automatically assigned a communication address and additionally a security address. The method also includes storing the addresses assigned to the identified slave units in order to initialize the security bus.

Method for initializing a security bus in a master-slave system

A method of controlling an industrial process by a programmable process control has the steps of taking data in form of resulting values which are decisive for the process, storing the data in a storage of a programmable process control, during starting a control program reading pre-defined configuration data which are stored in a storage in the control and connected with a control program, based on the configuration data selecting a subset of the resulting values adapted to a resulting value storage available in the control, and subsequently storing it in this storage.

Method of and apparatus for controlling of regulating industrial processes

The aim of the invention is to accomplish a new configuration or a reconfiguration of a screw system. To this end, a control unit () detects the actual components, which are installed in a screw system, as well as their characteristics, and said control unit () subsequently determines differences between the actual components and specified components that, for a specified configuration, were selected from a database (), in which all available components are stored with their specific characteristics. Finally, actual and specified components that differ from one another are displayed on a display ().

Device and method for configuring a screw system

The apparatus for tightening or installing a screw connection includes a screwdriver device (,) having a drive motor (,) and a screwdriver spindle (,); a control device (,) for controlling a torque, rotation speed, rotation angle, rotation direction, advance and/or tightening time of the screwdriver spindle (,) and an operating device (,) including an input and/or output device (,) for selecting a predetermined tightening or screwing process program which is assembled in a modular manner from individual tightening or screwing process program steps and which is used by the control device (,) to control the screwdriver device. The input and/or output device (,) includes a device for providing an input display (,) having a multi-dimensional, advantageously two-dimensional, field (,) with a plurality of predetermined distinct field locations (,) and a device for associating the respective field locations with predetermined tightening or screwing process program steps.
