Mobile security basic control device comprising a coding device for a mobile terminal with multi-touchscreen and method for setting up a uniquely assigned control link

A mobile safety basic control apparatus (15) of a robot (1), having:

• a handheld housing (16);
• an emergency stop switching means (17) arranged on the housing (16);
• a communication apparatus (18) for connecting the mobile safety basic control apparatus (15) to a robot controller (12) of the robot (1) for control purposes;
• means (19) for removably mounting the mobile safety basic control apparatus to a mobile terminal (20) having a multi-touchscreen (22) and a terminal controller (21);
• a coding apparatus (25) having:
• two or more contact pins (28) that in a state in which the safety basic control apparatus (15) is mounted on the mobile terminal (20) by means of the holder (19), are in physical contact with the multi-touchscreen (22), specifically in a specific two-dimensional arrangement, representing an identification code identifying the mobile safety basic control apparatus (15) to the terminal controller (21) via the multi-touchscreen (22);
• and
• in addition to the two or more contact pins (28), further contact pins (28a, 28b) that are in physical contact with the multi-touchscreen (22) and configured to form a pattern that takes its position and/or angular position on the multi-touchscreen (22) as a basis for transmitting a piece of information associated with the respective position and/or angular position to the terminal controller (21).

• a coding apparatus (25) configured so as, in a state in which the safety basic control apparatus (15) is mounted on the mobile terminal (20) by means of the means (19) for removably mounting, to automatically transmit at least one identification code identifying the mobile safety basic control apparatus (15) to the terminal controller (21) via the multi-touchscreen (22);
• and
• a multidimensional operating means (33) or a multidimensional input means (35) providing input other than the identification code.
