Abstract
A measuring transducer comprises at least two slots, at least one module that is associated with a slot, and a data processing unit with a memory. The data processing unit is designed to read out whether and to which slot the module is assigned, and is designed to generate a unique code for the measuring transducer assembly on the basis of the module and the determined slot. One digit of the code is assigned to each slot. Also disclosed is a method having such a measuring transducer.
Claims12
A measuring transducer, comprising:
- at least two slots;
- at least one module that is associated with a slot;
- and
- a data processing unit with a memory,
- wherein the data processing unit is designed to read out whether and to which slot the at least one module is assigned, and is further designed to generate a unique code for the measuring transducer assembly on the basis of the at least one module and the determined slot, and
- wherein one digit of the code is assigned to each slot.
A method, comprising:
- providing a measuring transducer, including:
- at least two slots;
- at least one module that is associated with a slot;
- and
- a data processing unit with a memory,
- wherein the data processing unit is designed to read out whether and to which slot the at least one module is assigned, and is further designed to generate a unique code for the measuring transducer assembly on the basis of the at least one module and the determined slot, and
- wherein one digit of the code is assigned to each slot;
- reading whether and to which slot the at least one module is assigned in the measuring transducer;
- and
- generating a unique code for the measuring transducer configuration on the basis of the at least one module and the determined slot.
A computer program comprising instructions which, when the computer program is run by a measuring transducer, including:
- at least two slots;
- at least one module that is associated with a slot;
- and
- a data processing unit with a memory,
- wherein the data processing unit is designed to read out whether and to which slot the at least one module is assigned, and is further designed to generate a unique code for the measuring transducer assembly on the basis of the at least one module and the determined slot, and
- wherein one digit of the code is assigned to each slot,
- causes the measuring transducer to carry out the steps of the method:
- reading whether and to which slot the at least one module is assigned in the measuring transducer;
- and
- generating a unique code for the measuring transducer configuration on the basis of the at least one module and the determined slot.
