Durch die drahtlose Kommunikationsschnittstelle, die vorzugsweise als Schnittstelle zur Funksignalübertragung ausgebildet ist, kann eine bislang erforderliche Verdrahtung der Schaltgeräte entfallen. Des weiteren wird hierdurch die Störempfindlichkeit der Geräte (Kabelbruch, lose Klemm- oder Schraubverbindungen, . . .) reduziert und die Handhabung der Geräte erleichtert. Zum Beispiel kann die Wartung, Umprogrammierung oder Parametrierung der Geräte auf einfache Weise, ohne zuvor aufwendige Kabelverbindungen herzustellen, erfolgen.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem folgenden, anhand einer Figur erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel.Further details and advantages of the invention result from the following embodiment explained with reference to a figure.

Der Aufbau basiert auf einem üblichen Leistungsschalter mit einem Gehäuse 2, umfassend eine hier aus drei Stromwandlern bestehende Stromerfassungseinrichtung 4, die zur Erfassung der in den Leitern 21, 22, 23 fließenden Ströme dienen, einer Einheit 6, die die von den Wandlern kommenden Messsignale zur weiteren Verarbeitung aufbereitet und gleichzeitig daraus die Stromversorgung für die gesamte Elektronik erzeugt, einer im wesentlichen aus einem Mikroprozessor (inkl. notwendiger Peripherie) bestehenden Steuereinrichtung 8, welche die Verarbeitung der gemessenen Ströme übernimmt und einer Auslöseeinheit 10, die die Unterbrechereinrichtung 11 (Schaltkontakte, z. B. mechanisch oder halbleitertechnisch) des Schalters bei Erreichen einer der zuvor eingestellten Bedingungen betätigt. Diese Bedingungen können über ein Bedienfeld 12, eine drahtgebundene serielle Schnittstelle 14a (optional) und/oder erfindungsgemäß über eine drahtlose Schnittstelle 14b vorgegeben werden. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Schaltgerät sowohl mit der drahtlosen Schnittstelle 14b, vorzugsweise einem Funk-Interface zum Beispiel auf Basis des bekannten Bluetooth-Konzepts, als auch mit einer drahtgebundenen Schnittstelle 14a zum Anschluß an ein Bussystem ausgeführt. Über die drahtlose Schnittstelle 14b kann das Schaltgerät mit anderen Teilnehmern in einem (räumlich eng begrenzten) Umfeld kommunizieren, also z. B. aktuelle Messdaten oder Statusmeldungen ausgeben oder Parameter austauschen. Desweiteren ist die Schaltvorrichtung mit einer Anzeigeeinheit 13 in Form eines integrierten Displays versehen. Über dieses Display 13 können Zustandsdaten und Fehlermeldungen angezeigt werden. Weiterhin ist vorgesehen auch die Programmier- oder Parametrierschritte bzw. -daten anzuzeigen, so dass über ein einfaches Programmiergerät ohne eigene Anzeigeeinheit Parameter und oder Programme einfach eingestellt und über die Anzeige am Schaltgerät selbst angezeigt und kontrolliert werden können. Im einfachsten Fall wird über einen einfachen Sender (als Programmiergeräteersatz) mit n verschiedenen Sendesignalen eines von n im Schaltgerät hinterlegten Betriebsprogrammen einfach ausgewählt und aktiviert. Dieser Vorgang kann dann über die Anzeigeeinheit 13 des Schaltgerätes selbst angezeigt und kontrolliert werden. Bevorzugte Anwendungen finden sich in der Kommunikation zwischen Schaltgerät und einem Diagnose- oder Parametriergerät (PC, PDA o. a.) am Einsatzort des Schaltgeräts (Diagnose, Parametrierung, Wartung). Hierdurch wird das Ändern der Parameter durch Bedienpersonal vor Ort gewährleistet, ohne dass das Schaltgerät selbst berührt werden muss. Dadurch kann z. B. ein Sicherheitsabstand gewahrt bleiben. Die Möglichkeit zur Beeinflussung des Schaltgeräts besteht aber weiterhin, auch ohne eine aufwändige Vernetzung realisieren zu müssen.The structure is based on a conventional circuit breaker with a housing 2 , comprising a current detection device 4 , which here consists of three current transformers and is used to detect the currents flowing in the conductors 21 , 22 , 23 , and a unit 6 which measures the measurement signals coming from the transformers processed further processing and at the same time generated the power supply for the entire electronics, a control device 8 consisting essentially of a microprocessor (including the necessary peripherals), which takes over the processing of the measured currents and a tripping unit 10 , which the interrupter device 11 (switching contacts, z Mechanically or semi-conductor technology) of the switch when one of the previously set conditions is reached. These conditions can be specified via a control panel 12 , a wired serial interface 14 a (optional) and / or according to the invention via a wireless interface 14 b. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the switching device is designed both with the wireless interface 14 b, preferably a radio interface, for example based on the known Bluetooth concept, and with a wired interface 14 a for connection to a bus system. Via the wireless interface 14 b, the switching device can communicate with other participants in a (spatially limited) environment, that is, for. B. output current measurement data or status messages or exchange parameters. Furthermore, the switching device is provided with a display unit 13 in the form of an integrated display. Status data and error messages can be shown on this display 13 . Furthermore, it is also provided to display the programming or parameterization steps or data, so that parameters and or programs can be easily set using a simple programming device without its own display unit and can be displayed and controlled via the display on the switching device itself. In the simplest case, a simple transmitter (as a replacement for programming devices) with n different transmission signals is used to simply select and activate one of n operating programs stored in the switching device. This process can then be displayed and checked via the display unit 13 of the switching device itself. Preferred applications can be found in the communication between the switching device and a diagnostic or parameterization device (PC, PDA or the like) at the place of use of the switching device (diagnosis, parameterization, maintenance). This ensures that the parameters are changed by operating personnel on site without having to touch the switching device itself. This can, for. B. keep a safe distance. However, there is still the possibility of influencing the switching device without having to implement complex networking.

Eine weitere Anwendung findet sich in der Kommunikation zwischen Schaltgerät und Diagnose- oder Parametriergerät (PC, PDA o. a.) am Einsatzort des Schaltgeräts bei gleichzeitiger (optionaler) Ankopplung des Schaltgeräts an einen Feldbus (z. B. über den UART) und die drahtgebundene serielle Datenübertragung. Beispiel: Abfrage der Diagnosedaten durch Wartungspersonal vor Ort, wobei gleichzeitig der Feldbus-Anschluss bestehen bleibt.Another application is in communication between Switchgear and diagnostic or parameterization device (PC, PDA or similar) on Location of the switching device with simultaneous (optional) coupling of the  Switchgear to a fieldbus (e.g. via the UART) and the wired serial data transmission. Example: Query the diagnostic data by Maintenance personnel on site, whereby the fieldbus connection is also available remains.

Auch der drahtlose Austausch von Signalen zwischen Schaltgeräten die deren Verhalten beeinflussen (z. B. Selektivität) ist somit einfach realisierbar.Also the wireless exchange of signals between switching devices Influencing behavior (e.g. selectivity) is therefore easy to implement.

Als weitere Möglichkeit kann über die Funkstrecke hilfsweise auch die Betriebsenergie für die drahtlose Schnittstelle 14b übertragen werden. Dadurch wird es möglich, zumindest eine einfache Zustandsabfrage (OK, ausgefallen, . . .) des Schaltgeräts durchzuführen, ohne dass es sich selbst in Betrieb befindet. Dies wäre z. B. für selbstversorgende Geräte interessant, wenn die in den Leitern 21, 22, 23 fließenden Ströme nicht zum Betrieb der Elektronik ausreichen.As another option, the operating power for the wireless interface 14 can be transmitted via the radio link b alternative. This makes it possible to carry out at least a simple status query (OK, failed,...) Of the switching device without it being in operation. This would be e.g. B. interesting for self-supplying devices if the currents flowing in the conductors 21 , 22 , 23 are not sufficient to operate the electronics.
