Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 Represents a fieldbus system, which includes a fieldbus 100 , a programmable logic controller 101 and three field devices 102 , 103 and 104 connected to the fieldbus 100 . Field device 104 is a battery-operated field device which has communication components for wireless data exchange with transceiver unit 105 connected to field bus 100 . This wireless connection of the field devices to the fieldbus system simplifies the installation of the field devices.

[0025] In the case of battery-operated field devices and communication components, it is important to replace the battery module of the respective device in good time in order to avoid a sudden interruption of the operation of the field device or communication component. Batteries for supplying the field devices and communication components are packaged in such a way that the packaging must be destroyed before use. In order to keep track of the battery status, it is possible, for example, to reset consumpt...

Abstract

The invention relates to a battery module having at least one battery and one indicator unit, wherein the status of the indicator unit displays whether the battery module is fresh or used, wherein an irreversible change to the indicator unit can be caused externally, wherein the irreversible change displays that the battery module is no longer fresh, and wherein the status of the indicator unit can be queried externally.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a battery module according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device according to the preamble of claim 11 . Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for tracking the state of a battery module according to claim 20 . Background technique [0002] Batteries are used to power a large number of devices. But batteries have limited power reserves. When a device's battery dies, the proper functionality of the device cannot be ensured and the operation of the device is interrupted. [0003] The extent to which failure of such battery-induced equipment can be tolerated depends both on the type of battery-operated equipment and on the purpose of the equipment. There are many uses in which a sudden interruption of the operation of the device caused by the battery would cause considerable damage and is therefore unacceptable. [0004] For example, battery-operated field devices are often used in process automation technology. The...
