Abstract
A signal converter device has a programmable logic circuit, wherein a number of binary input signals are being transmitted from the outside of the signal converter unit. The programmable logic circuit is programmed by a programming in such a way, as to detect binary output signals from a number of logic functions. The output signals are output by the signal converter device to the outside. The logic functions are designed in such a manner, that the output signals are determined exclusively by logic associations of the input signals. The output signals are at least partially transmitted to drives. Programming is in such a way, that for at least two drives, output signals to be emitted to the drives are determined uniformly.
