Control method for a door drive and door drive
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method of controlling a door drive having a plurality of components which are communicatively connected to one another via a digital bus system, wherein at least one component is a safety component which reports the occurrence of a safety-relevant event over the data bus, and wherein the bus protocol reserves a cyclic safety phase for reporting a safety-relevant event and at least one component recognizes an undefined data transmission during the safety phase as a report of a safety-relevant event.
1. A method for controlling a door drive comprising:
utilizing a door drive control system comprising a plurality of components, communicatively connected to one another over a digital bus system, the bus system having a bus master and a bus protocol, wherein at least one component of the plurality of components is a safety component, the bus master controls communication over the data bus system, and at least one component of the plurality of the plurality of components is a receiving component;
reserving, via the bus protocol a cyclic safety phase for reporting a safety relevant event;
detecting the safety relevant event with the at least one safety component;
the safety component commencing a data transmission during the safety phase without a prior prompt by any other bus component of the plurality of components;
the at least one receiving component receiving the data transmission; and
the at least one receiving component recognizing any data transmission over the bus system during the safety phase as a report of the safety relevant event;
the bus master being adapted to evaluate the safety-relevant event, and to determine whether to deactivate the door drive;
wherein the at least one safety component transmits a safety telegram during the safety phase, comprising sender information, the sender information comprising information with respect to a device type of the transmitting safety component, after occurrence of the safety-relevant event.
2. A method for controlling a door drive comprising:
utilizing a door drive control system comprising a plurality of components, communicatively connected to one another over a digital bus system, the bus system having a bus master and a bus protocol, wherein at least one component of the plurality of components is a safety component, the bus master controls communication over the data bus system, and at least one component of the plurality of components is a receiving component;
reserving, via the bus protocol a cyclic safety phase for reporting a safety-relevant event;
detecting the safety relevant event with the at least one safety component;
the at least one safety component commencing a data transmission during the safety phase without a prior prompt by any other bus component of the plurality of components;
the at least one receiving component receiving the data transmission; and
the at least one receiving component recognizing any data transmission over the bus system during the safety phase as a report of the safety relevant event;
the bus master being adapted to evaluate the safety relevant event, and to determine whether to deactivate the door drive;
wherein the bus master is further adapted to deactivate the door drive control system immediately following evaluation of the safety relevant event;
wherein the safety component is further adapted to repeat the data transmission related to the safety-relevant event during the safety phase until the safety component is addressed by the bus master: and
wherein the bus master is further adapted to immediately deactivate the door drive control system if an undefined data transmission is received during the safety phase.
3. A method for controlling a door drive comprising:
utilizing a door drive control system comprising a plurality of components, communicatively connected to one another over a digital bus system, the bus system having a bus protocol, wherein at least one component of the plurality of components is a safety component, and at least one component of the plurality of components is a receiving component;
reserving, via the bus protocol a cyclic safety phase for reporting a safety-relevant event;
detecting the safety relevant event with the at least one safety component;
the safety component commencing a data transmission during the safety phase without a prior prompt by any other bus component of the plurality of components;
the at least one receiving component receiving the data transmission, and the at least one receiving component recognizing any data transmission over the bus system during the safety phase as a report of the safety-relevant event; and
wherein the at least one safety component transmits a safety telegram during the safety phase, comprising sender information, the sender information comprising information with respect to a device type of the transmitting safety component, after occurrence of the safety-relevant event.
4. A method in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the safety telegram starts with a preamble, the preamble starting with a specific number of bytes having a value 0x00.
5. A method in accordance with claim 3 , wherein at least one component of the plurality of components determines the sender of the transmitted data during the safety phase after the recognition of the report of the safety-relevant event, by evaluation of the safety telegram, with a suitable response of the door drive being defined on the basis of the sender information.
