Abstract
Methods, sensors, and machines for transmitting machine access data of a machine to a wireless measurement sensor attached to the machine. A method of transmitting access data of a communication interface of a machine to a wireless measurement sensor attached to the machine includes: controlling a machine component of the machine which influences the measurement signals of the measurement sensor, according to specific information associated with the access data and evaluating the measurement signals to determine the access data of the communication interface of the machine.
Claims20
A method of transmitting access data of a communication interface of a machine to a wireless measurement sensor attached to the machine, the method comprising:
- moving a movable machine component of the machine, which influences measurement signals of the wireless measurement sensor, relative to the wireless measurement sensor according to a motion pattern modulated with the access data;
- and
- evaluating, by the wireless measurement sensor, the measurement signals to determine the access data of the communication interface of the machine.
A machine comprising:
- a wireless measurement sensor;
- a machine component movable to influence a measurement signal of the wireless measurement sensor;
- a communication interface;
- and
- a machine controller configured to move the machine component relative to the wireless measurement sensor according to a motion pattern modulated with access data of the communication interface, such that the access data is wirelessly transmitted to the wireless measurement sensor,
- wherein the wireless measurement sensor is configured to:
- measure one or more measurement signals influenced by the machine component being moved according to the motion pattern associated with the access data;
- evaluate the measurement signals to determine the access data of the communication interface;
- and
- wirelessly connect to the communication interface via the determined access data.
