Arrangement of several lubricant dispensers operating in network has controllers connected to bus, system network configured by computer that separates from field bus after configuration

摘要

The arrangement has several lubricant dispensers, each with a lubricant container, an electromechanical delivery device and an electronic controller. The delivery device has a drive motor receiving start and stop pulses from the controller. Each controller has a microcontroller and is connected to a field bus with distributed bus allocation or random bus access. The network is configured by a computer that separates from the bus after configuration. The delivery device has a drive motor receiving start and stop pulses from the controller. Each controller has a microcontroller and is connected to a bus system in the form of a field bus (2) with distributed bus allocation or random bus access for users. The network (3) is configured by a computer (4) that separates from the bus after successful configuration.
