Abstract
A device for identifying a control mode for a voltage or current release of a voltage-release or current-release switching device includes at least one control unit having first and second control inputs. The control unit includes a signal detection device configured to detect a signal state at a first control input and a blocking device configured to disable the second control input when a control signal is detected at the first control input.
Claims17
A device for identifying a control mode for a voltage or current release of a voltage-release or current-release switching device, comprising:
- at least one control unit having first and second control inputs, the at least one control unit including a signal detection device configured to detect a signal state at the first control input, and
- a blocking device configured to disable the second control input when a control signal is detected at the first control input.
A method for identifying a control mode for a voltage or current release of a voltage-release or current-release switching device including a control unit having a plurality of control inputs, comprising:
- detecting, by the control unit, a signal state at a first control input of the plurality of control inputs;
- and
- disabling, by the control unit, a second control input of the plurality of control inputs when a control signal is detected at the first control input.
A device for identifying a control mode for a voltage or current release of a voltage-release or current-release switching device, comprising:
- at least one control unit having first and second control inputs, the at least one control unit including a signal detection device configured to detect a signal state at the first control input, and a blocking device configured to disable the second control input when a control signal is detected at the first control input;
- wherein the first control input is connected to the control unit via a galvanic connection or an optical connection.
A method for identifying a control mode for a voltage or current release of a voltage-release or current-release switching device including a control unit having a plurality of control inputs, comprising:
- detecting, by the control unit, a signal state at a first control input of the plurality of control inputs;
- disabling, by the control unit, a second control input of the plurality of control inputs when a control signal is detected at the first control input;
- and
- transmitting the control signal from the first control input the control unit via a galvanic connection or an optical connection.
