Signaling device

Abstract

The invention relates to a signaling device, in particular a signaling column (1), which can generate signals even outside the range of normal visual and acoustic signals and can be manufactured flexibly and as required without additional costs. This object is achieved by providing, in addition to the signaling elements (2, 3, 4) for generating visual and / or acoustic signals, a radio transmitting unit (8) for transmitting data to the receiver, wherein the transmitting unit (8) Set within a replaceable assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a signaling device, in particular to a signaling column as described in the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Signal devices, especially signal columns, are widely used to indicate the working status of industrial equipment such as machines, installations or vehicles. They are first and foremost used to indicate operating faults of these machines or devices, so that operators can find and eliminate these faults. Furthermore, such a signaling device can also signal operating states which are harmful to the environment or to persons in the environment. [0003] To maximize the production capacity of machines or installations, they are usually run continuously. In many production companies, these machines operate essentially fully automatically, so that there are only very few operating and monitoring personnel. Since it is unavoidable here that it is not always possible to monitor individual machines or insta...
