Abstract
A method for identifying a connection between a first channel and at least one second channel located in a rinsing device. The method including: applying a first testing pressure to the first channel; reading in a first pressure signal representing a first pressure in the at least one second channel; and detecting the connection between the first channel and the at least second channel when the first pressure is one or more of at a predetermined first ratio to the testing pressure and above a predetermined first threshold.
Claims19
A method for identifying a connection between a first channel and at least one second channel located in a rinsing device, wherein the method comprises:
- applying a first testing pressure to the first channel;
- receiving a first pressure signal representing a first pressure in the at least one second channel;
- detecting the connection between the first channel and the at least second channel when the first pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined first ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined first threshold;
- and
- identifying a connection between the first channel and at least one third channel located in the rinsing device, wherein the receiving comprises, receiving a second pressure signal representing a second pressure in the third channel, and the detecting comprises detecting the connection between the first channel and the at least third channel when the second pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined second ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined second threshold.
A control device for identifying a connection between a first channel and at least one second channel located in a rinsing device, the control device comprising:
- a controller comprising hardware, the controller being configured to:
- control a first testing pressure to be applied to the first channel;
- receive a first pressure signal representing a first pressure in the at least one second channel;
- determine the connection between the first channel and the at least second channel when the first pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined first ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined first threshold;
- and
- identify a connection between the first channel and at least one third channel located in the rinsing device, wherein the receiving comprises, receiving a second pressure signal representing a second pressure in the third channel, and the detecting comprises detecting the connection between the first channel and the at least third channel when the second pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined second ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined second threshold.
A computer-readable device for identifying a connection between a first channel and at least one second channel located in a rinsing device, the computer-readable device storing instructions that cause a computer to at least perform:
- controlling a first testing pressure to be applied to the first channel;
- receiving a first pressure signal representing a first pressure in the at least one second channel;
- determining the connection between the first channel and the at least second channel when the first pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined first ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined first threshold;
- and
- identifying a connection between the first channel and at least one third channel located in the rinsing device, wherein the receiving comprises, receiving a second pressure signal representing a second pressure in the third channel, and the detecting comprises detecting the connection between the first channel and the at least third channel when the second pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined second ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined second threshold.
A method for identifying a connection between a first channel and at least one second channel located in a rinsing device, wherein the method comprises:
- applying a first testing pressure to the first channel;
- receiving a first pressure signal representing a first pressure in the at least one second channel;
- and
- detecting the connection between the first channel and the at least second channel when the first pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined first ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined first threshold;
- wherein, the applying comprises, applying the first testing pressure to the first channel and the at least one second channel by a pressure connection of a pulsation module and wherein, the receiving comprises, receiving the first pressure signal by a pressure sensor of the pulsation module.
A control device for identifying a connection between a first channel and at least one second channel located in a rinsing device, the control device comprising:
- a controller comprising hardware, the controller being configured to:

- and
- determine the connection between the first channel and the at least second channel when the first pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined first ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined first threshold;
- wherein, the applying comprises, applying the first testing pressure to the first channel and the at least one second channel by a pressure connection of a pulsation module and wherein, the receiving comprises, receiving the first pressure signal by a pressure sensor of the pulsation module.
A computer-readable device for identifying a connection between a first channel and at least one second channel located in a rinsing device, the computer-readable device storing instructions that cause a computer to at least perform:
- controlling a first testing pressure to be applied to the first channel;
- receiving a first pressure signal representing a first pressure in the at least one second channel;
- and
- determining the connection between the first channel and the at least second channel when the first pressure is one or more of:
- at a predetermined first ratio to the testing pressure;
- and
- above a predetermined first threshold;
- wherein, the applying comprises, applying the first testing pressure to the first channel and the at least one second channel by a pressure connection of a pulsation module and wherein, the receiving comprises, receiving the first pressure signal by a pressure sensor of the pulsation module.
