Coating device, in particular painting robot

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a coating device for coating components with a coating agent (e.g. paint), having a protected area which is explosion-proof and/or is under high voltage during operation and an unprotected area in which no explosive atmosphere prevails during normal operation. A plurality of sensors that measure process variables of the coating device are included with the sensors being arranged in the protected area. A data interface for external data communication, the data interface being arranged in the unprotected area is also included. A transmission system transmits data between the sensors in the protected area on the one hand and the data interface in the unprotected area. The disclosure additionally provides a collecting device in the protected area, the collecting device on the one hand being connected to the sensors and receiving measured values of the process variables from the sensors, and on the other hand being connected to the transmission system in order to transmit the measured values of the sensors to the data interface.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
