Abstract
A communication module is for attachment to a parameterizable switching device. In an embodiment, the switching device includes one or more setting elements for setting parameter values. The communication module, attached at a defined position relative to the switching device, covers one or more of the one or more setting elements.
Claims18
A communication module for attachment to a parameterizable switching device, comprising:
- one or more attachment elements for the attachment of the communication module to the switching device at a defined position;
- and
- housing parts to, upon the communication module being attached to the switching device, cover one or more setting elements, of the switching device, usable to set parameter values.
A switching device, comprising:
- one or more setting elements to set parameter values of the switching device;
- and
- one or more attachment elements to attach a communication module to the switching device at a defined position such that one or more of the one or more setting elements is covered by the communication module.
A method for converting the parameterization of a switching device including one or more setting elements for setting parameter values of the switching device to remote parameterization, the method comprising:
- setting up a communication connection between a communication module for remote parameterization and the switching device, the communication module being attached to the switching device at a defined position relative to the switching device such that the communication module covers one or more of the one or more setting elements;
- and
- transmitting parameter values assigned to the one or more covered setting elements, from the communication module via the communication connection, to the switching device.
