Description

[0001] The invention relates to a recording system for recording measured values ​​for a cable processing device, which comprises a plurality of modules and a plurality of sensors, each of which generates measured values. The recording system according to the preamble of claim 1 comprises a volatile intermediate memory, a non-volatile final memory, and a communication unit. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for recording measured values ​​of a cable processing device according to claim 10, and a monitoring system according to claim 11.

[0002] From the prior art of cable processing, particularly automated cable assembly, it is known to perform cable processing in a cable processing device composed of several modules. Conventional cable processing devices / machines, for example, perform the process steps of stripping the cable sheath, erecting a braided shield along the cable, attaching a crimp sleeve to the cable, attaching an inner conductor contact, and subsequently arranging the stripped cable end with the inner conductor contact in a cable housing. Each module performs different processing tasks and is configured to provide measured values ​​that can be used, for example, for analysis, quality assurance, or optimization of the cable processing device or the cable processing steps.Each (processing) module of the cable processing device thus performs a specific process step in cable assembly.

[0003] The measured values ​​comprise a multitude of data obtained through measurements. These are obtained, for example, by reading one or more sensors or by sampling a signal. In conventional cable processing devices, these measured values ​​include, for example, information about the crimping force of a crimping operation, a cycle time, or other digital signals from the cable processing device.

[0004] Typically, it is necessary to painstakingly configure the measurements for each of these cable processing devices manually. A large number of measurements can be generated during the production process, so configuring each device can take up to a week. If other measurements need to be recorded, for example, if a sensor is replaced or added, the entire recording system must be manually readjusted, which is very time-consuming. This can happen, for instance, when a processing station is replaced or an additional processing station is added to the cable processing device, which occurs quite regularly in practice. The same applies if an additional sensor is added to the cable processing device to capture further measurement parameters.

[0005] It should also be noted that modules, even if they perform the same processing step, can deliver different measured values. This can occur, for example, if a module from one manufacturer is replaced with one from another, or if one version of a module is replaced with another version. In both cases, the recording system must be adaptable quickly and easily.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to avoid or at least mitigate the disadvantages described above and, in particular, to provide a recording system that replaces the previously manual adjustments of the cable processing machines and, in particular, performs the corresponding recordings fully automatically, thereby significantly reducing the configuration effort.

[0007] This problem is solved by a recording system according to the features of claim 1 and by a method for recording measured values ​​according to the features of claim 10. Furthermore, the problem is solved by a monitoring system for a system with at least two modularly designed cable processing devices, according to the features of claim 11. Advantageous embodiments are claimed in the dependent claims or will become apparent from the following description.

[0008] The invention relates to a recording system for recording measured values ​​for a cable processing device, wherein the cable processing device has a plurality of modules or processing stations as well as a plurality of sensors, wherein the sensors each generate measured values, and wherein the recording system has a volatile intermediate storage orThe master comprises a non-volatile final memory and a communication unit, wherein the recording system is configured to transmit the measured values ​​to the volatile intermediate memory of the cable processing device, wherein the volatile intermediate memory is configured to aggregate the transmitted measured values ​​and then transmit them in bundles to the non-volatile final memory via the communication unit, wherein the volatile intermediate memory of the cable processing device is configured to transfer newly transmitted measured values ​​to the non-volatile final memory and to release the already transmitted measured values ​​in the volatile intermediate memory for subsequent overwriting.

[0009] Each module or processing station of the cable preparation device performs a specific sub-step in the mechanical processing of the cable.

[0010] The recording system is easy to install and set up on an existing cable processing device. In particular, manual setup of various sensors and modules is eliminated.

[0011] The recording system is configured and configured to transfer at least one measured value at least once during the production of a specific (cable) product to the volatile buffer assigned to the modular cable processing device, at least once at least at one of its modules. Specifically, the corresponding module for this transfer process is configured and programmed by an operator or programmer. The buffer assigned to the cable processing device is configured and configured to automatically transfer these measured values ​​to a non-volatile final storage device or database, in particular via a data recorder of an MES (Manufacturing Execution System), which handles communication between the modular cable processing device and the database as a passive or non-volatile final storage device.

[0012] The MES Data Recorder thus functions as the communication unit of the recording system and receives the measured values ​​from the sensors of the cable processing device. Each cable processing device is assigned exactly one volatile buffer, which receives all measured values ​​from all sensors of that cable processing device. The MES Data Recorder, as the communication unit, is configured to transmit the data from the volatile buffer to the passive storage of the database. Therefore, the passive data storage is downstream of the communication unit, where the data acquired by the communication unit is transferred and permanently stored.

[0013] The volatile buffer is configured and designed such that its contents are transmitted via the communication unit to the non-volatile final memory as soon as the content of the volatile buffer changes, i.e., as soon as new data, e.g., in the form of new sensor readings, is written to or transmitted into the volatile buffer. Specifically, the previously temporarily stored data in the volatile buffer is released for subsequent overwriting after being transferred to the MES Data Recorder, so that the volatile buffer of the cable preparation device contains only the most recently transmitted data set from the modular cable preparation device.

[0014] Preferably, this transmission takes place when the communication unit is previously registered with the volatile buffer of the cable processing device and remains registered with the volatile buffer during the recording time, for example by the cable processing device regularly sending defined signals as signs of life to the volatile buffer.

[0015] The communication unit communicates exclusively with the volatile buffer of the cable processing device. The buffer aggregates the data from the numerous individual processes and then sends it in a bundled form to the communication unit. The advantage of this is that the communication unit only needs to open a single data connection to the cable processing device, eliminating the need to establish a separate connection for each process.

[0016] Recording the measured values ​​in this way enables a wide range of evaluation options. For example, it allows for evaluations across time, across processes, and / or, in the case of multiple cable processing devices, across devices. In such a case, the volatile intermediate storage of the respective cable processing devices communicates with a common, central final storage.

[0017] This makes it possible to subsequently evaluate various measured values ​​from the majority of modules of a cable processing device, and dynamic measured values ​​over the operating time of the cable processing device are therefore always variable.

[0018] In the case of multiple cable processing devices, all volatile intermediate storage devices of the cable processing devices, to which the communication unit is registered, are designed to transmit the temporarily stored measured values ​​to the communication unit, in particular to the MES Data Recorder.

[0019] Advantageously, the recording system according to the invention requires only a one-time (overall) configuration of the cable processing device and no configuration of the individual measured values. This reduces the time required to just a few minutes. Subsequent adjustments to the measured values ​​at the machine level are also automatically detected, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual updates.

[0020] In an advantageous aspect of the invention, the majority of the sensors comprise module-specific sensors assigned to one of the modules and module-independent sensors generally assigned to the cable processing device, wherein the recording system is configured to transmit module-independent measured values ​​of the module-independent sensors of the cable processing device to the volatile buffer in addition to the module-specific measured values ​​of the module-specific sensors.

[0021] In other words, the device-specific non-volatile buffer stores all process-relevant measured values, both from the module-specific sensors and the (general) module-independent sensors of the cable processing device. Thus, the buffer serves as a common buffer for all process-relevant measured values.

[0022] The volatile buffer therefore not only transmits measured values ​​from at least one selected module of the cable processing device, but can also transmit at least one measured value from at least one module-independent sensor of the corresponding cable processing device, which provides measured values ​​for the entire cable processing device.

[0023] This makes it possible, for example, to measure cycle time, power consumption, pressing force, air consumption, or similar parameters as part of quality assurance or to optimize the cable processing equipment. The respective module and / or the module-independent sensors can be configured or equipped with suitable logic to provide specific physical measurements, for example, at defined times.

[0024] In a further advantageous aspect of the invention, at least one of the module-independent sensors is configured to generate a standstill clock of the cable processing machine during a standstill of the cable processing device and to transmit it to the volatile intermediate storage.

[0025] According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the sensors comprise at least one module-independent sensor configured to detect the total power consumption or total air consumption of the cable processing device and transmit this information to the volatile buffer. Furthermore, a module-independent sensor can be provided in the cable processing device that detects the position of a door of this cable processing device and provides information on whether the door of the cable processing device is currently in a closed or open position.

[0026] This means that even if the cable processing device is not currently performing a production process, the recording system can be configured to transmit values, particularly sensor readings, while the cable processing device is at a standstill. During this standstill, for example, the general clocking of the cable processing device (a "heartbeat") or other parameters, such as measurements of air consumption, power consumption, or temperature, can be recorded and transmitted. Therefore, the cable processing device is ready for recording as soon as it is switched on or started up.

[0027] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, all sensors, in particular the module-specific and the module-independent sensors, are configured to communicate unidirectionally with the (common) volatile buffer via a standardized interface.

[0028] Preferably, the measured values ​​are transmitted to the volatile buffer in the form of name-value pairs. The interface provides a sufficiently large memory for these name-value pairs, chosen to be large enough that it is not fully utilized, thus maintaining sufficient buffer space for subsequently transmitted measured values.

[0029] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, each of the plurality of sensors of the cable processing device can be individually adjusted and deactivated.

[0030] Furthermore, in practice it may be necessary to replace a specific module of a cable processing device with a new module, whereby the new replacement module performs the same function as the older module. However, the replacement module may have a different serial number or version number from the same manufacturer or may originate from a different manufacturer. A recording system according to the invention is preferably configured to detect whether the older module or the replacement module is present or connected. Both modules, the older module and the new replacement module, are configured to communicate with the recording system via the communication unit using the standardized interface. The recording system is configured to address the replacement module in the same way as the older module.The same applies if an older module-independent sensor of the cable processing device is replaced with a new replacement sensor.

[0031] Each process of the cable processing device can have its own program logic, which, based on logic set by a programmer and selected by a user, determines when and which measurements from the respective modules should be recorded. Which values ​​are recorded depends on various factors. Examples of factors influencing measurement recording include the number of available sensors, the selected recipe, or the interests of a process developer, for whom the measurement values ​​are weighted differently depending on the type of analysis desired. Thus, individual configuration of data measurements by the process developer is possible, making it easy and time-saving to add recordings of useful measurements. This means that some of the data can be enriched with additional information.For example, when transmitting information about a cycle time, additional information can be transmitted about which process the measured value comes from and / or which line the data set belongs to and / or further information about the sampling time of these measured values.

[0032] A module that is not muted can therefore be programmed in such a way that the measured values ​​are transferred to the volatile buffer multiple times, especially at predetermined times, for example regularly, i.e. routinely after a certain time interval.

[0033] According to a further advantageous aspect of the invention, at least one of the plurality of sensors, in particular all of the plurality of sensors, is configured to generate the measured values ​​at predetermined time intervals and / or when predetermined parameter values / thresholds are reached or exceeded and to transmit them to the volatile intermediate storage.

[0034] This further reduces the number of measurements to be used, as only measurements deemed relevant are recorded and, in particular, transmitted to the volatile buffer. In other words, the cable processing device recognizes which measurements need to be recorded.

[0035] The present invention further relates to a cable processing device with a recording system according to the invention.

[0036] The invention further relates to a method for recording measured values ​​of at least one cable processing device, comprising the steps: Generating a plurality of measured values ​​from sensors of the at least one cable processing device, preferably at predetermined time intervals, across a plurality of modules; Transmitting the measured values ​​of the at least one cable processing device to at least one volatile intermediate storage device, wherein one of the at least one volatile intermediate storage device is one of the at least one Cable processing device is individually assigned; bundling of the measured values ​​of at least one cable processing device via the corresponding volatile buffer; Transmitting the aggregated measurement data to a non-volatile final storage; and releasing the already transmitted measurement data into at least one volatile intermediate storage for subsequent overwriting.

[0037] The invention further relates to a monitoring system for a plant with at least two modular cable processing devices, wherein the monitoring system has a query unit which is set up and configured to address the non-volatile final memory of the cable processing devices and to cause the transmission of a defined type of measured values ​​of this cable processing device.

[0038] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the monitoring system also includes an evaluation and analysis unit for evaluating the measured values ​​of the defined type of the at least two cable processing devices.

[0039] In other words, the query unit of the monitoring system, which is designed to be cross-device and external, communicates with the non-volatile memory, which is designed as a passive data storage device, to query a specific type of measured value, preferably defined by the user. This query is performed for two or more cable processing devices, so that the measured values ​​of several cable processing devices can preferably be evaluated via the evaluation and analysis unit of the monitoring system.

[0040] The analysis or quality assurance can be carried out by comparing the specified process parameters with the actual state parameters of at least two cable processing devices.

[0041] Furthermore, this allows for an assessment of whether a planned process optimization will have a positive impact on the measured values. Alternatively, it is possible to determine which cable processing device is performing particularly well by comparing the data from different devices. Ideally, logs of these measured values ​​are kept, and the majority of the cable processing devices can be located at different sites. This means that the comparison of measured values ​​from different cable processing devices can be performed across multiple locations.

[0042] Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and from the description of at least one exemplary embodiment.

[0043] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to advantageous embodiments and the accompanying figures. Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a recording system according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. Figure 2 shows an exemplary flowchart of a method for recording measured values ​​of a cable processing device, according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] The figures are purely schematic and serve solely to illustrate the present invention. It should be noted that the features of the individual embodiments are interchangeable and may occur in specific combinations.

[0045] The present invention is now described in part by reference to a preferred embodiment of the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 described. This shows Fig. 1 An exemplary recording system 1 in a schematic representation. Fig. Figure 2 shows a flowchart of an exemplary procedure for recording measured values ​​of a cable processing device 2.

[0046] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary software architecture of an exemplary recording system 1 for recording measured values ​​of a cable processing device 2. The cable processing device 2 (or modular machine) has a plurality of modules 3, which function as processing stations and perform different processing tasks during the sequential processing of cables, especially data cables, within the cable assembly process by the cable processing device 2. The respective modules 3 are configured to provide measured values ​​that are acquired, read out, and evaluated, for example, for analysis, quality assurance, or optimization of the cable processing device 2. Each module 3 of the cable processing device 2 performs a specific process step in the cable assembly process.The modules 3 have a plurality of module-specific sensors for providing the measured values. In addition to these module-specific sensors, the recording system 1 also has a plurality of module-independent sensors 7, which are configured and configured to provide general measured values ​​of the entire cable processing device 2. For example, the module-independent sensors 7 are configured to record the total power consumption or the total air consumption of the cable processing device 2 and provide it as measured values. The recording system 1 is configured to transmit all measured values ​​to a volatile buffer 4, which is assigned to a respective cable processing device 2. In the . Fig. Figure 1 indicates the transmission of these measured values ​​by the multiple arrows between the modules 3 and the volatile buffer 4, or between the module-independent sensors 7 and the volatile buffer 4. Thus, the volatile buffer 4 is the single, shared buffer for all process-relevant measured values ​​of the respective cable processing device 2. The recording system 1 is specifically configured to provide unidirectional transmission of the measured values ​​from the modules 3 or from the module-independent sensors 7 via the volatile buffer 4, through the communication unit 6, to the non-volatile final memory 5 of the recording unit 8. The transmission of the measured values ​​from the volatile buffer 4 to the communication unit 6 is exclusively unidirectional.

[0047] If one of the modules 3 is replaced, or the cable processing device is supplemented with a new module, or if one of the module-independent sensors 7 is replaced, or if another module-independent sensor is added, the sensor of the module or the module-independent sensor registers with the volatile buffer 4 and then transmits the measured values ​​to the buffer 4. The sensors, specifically the module-independent sensors 7 and the sensors of the modules 3, are configured and programmed accordingly, as is the buffer 4. The measured values ​​from the new sensors are then transferred via the buffer 4 and the communication unit 6 to the recording unit 8.In this way, if the sensor configuration within the cable processing device 2 changes, it is possible to record the measured values ​​of the newly added sensors in the recording unit 8 without having to manually reconfigure the recording system.

[0048] The volatile buffer 4 is configured to aggregate the received measured values ​​and then transmit them in summary form to a general, in particular device-independent, recording unit 8. The recording unit comprises a communication unit 6 and a general (passive) non-volatile final memory 5, which functions in particular as a database for the permanent storage of the measured values. The device's own volatile buffer 4 is configured to forward the measured values ​​to the non-volatile final memory 5 via the communication unit 6.

[0049] The communication unit 6 of the recording unit 8 receives the measured values ​​from the module-independent sensors 7 and the modules 3 of the cable processing device 2. Each cable processing device 2 is assigned exactly one volatile buffer 4. The communication unit 6 is configured to transmit the data from the volatile buffer 4 to the passive memory of the database or to the non-volatile final memory 5. Therefore, the passive data storage is downstream of the communication unit 6, where the measured values ​​acquired by the communication unit 6 are transferred and permanently stored.

[0050] In particular, the volatile intermediate storage 4 of the cable processing device 2 is configured to transfer new measured values ​​transmitted into the volatile intermediate storage 4 to the non-volatile final storage 5 and to release the measured values ​​already transmitted in the volatile intermediate storage 4 for subsequent overwriting.

[0051] The respective module 3 of the cable processing device 2 delivers the respective measured values ​​to a non-volatile final memory 5 via the recording system 1. The recording system 1 therefore comprises a volatile intermediate memory 4 and a communication unit 6, in particular an MES data recorder, which is registered with the volatile intermediate memory 4. The volatile intermediate memory 4 is configured or programmed to transfer newly entered data to the communication unit 6 and to release the transferred data in the volatile intermediate memory 4 for subsequent overwriting. The communication unit 6 comprises a communication module with which the communication unit 6 registers with the volatile intermediate memory 4 and with which the data is transferred from the volatile intermediate memory 4 to the non-volatile final memory 5.The communication unit 6 does not directly access the cable preparation device 2 or any of the modules 3 of the cable preparation device 2.

[0052] The communication unit 6 can be configured to filter out specific data records in the non-volatile final memory 5; for this purpose, the communication unit 6 is configured to recognize, by means of a simple logic, certain data that are unusable or whose storage is not useful and to exclude them from being passed on to the recording unit 8. In a modification of this, it can additionally or alternatively be provided that the volatile intermediate memory 4 is configured to recognize measured values ​​that are not useful or whose storage is not practical and to exclude them from being passed on to the communication unit 6.

[0053] With reference to the in Fig. In one specifically illustrated embodiment, a particular module 3 can, for example, comprise a crimping unit and be configured or programmed such that the measured value of a force sensor, which detects the maximum force exerted during crimping, is transferred to the volatile buffer 4. This transfer can occur with every crimping operation, i.e., every few seconds, or only with certain crimping operations. Furthermore, the module 3 can be configured to transfer only maximum values ​​that fall below or exceed a threshold value to the volatile buffer 4. The volatile buffer 4 can, for example, be a detection unit for the air consumption of the machine, which is operated in a substantially self-contained manner, and be configured or programmed such that whenever a defined air consumption, for example, 1.Once 000 liters have been consumed, this air consumption (stamped electronically) is transferred to the volatile buffer 4. In this case, the volatile buffer 4 is not a production or processing module, but a sensor, and the volatile buffer 4 receives the sensor reading from the corresponding sensor.

[0054] The non-volatile intermediate storage 4 can, in particular, be configured in an embodiment of the recording system 1 to generate a measurement ID and a sampling time as a timestamp for the received measurement value and to generate a data string with information content beyond the measurement value, wherein the generated data string is then transmitted to the receiving unit 6.

[0055] Fig.Figure 2 shows an exemplary flowchart of a method for recording measured values ​​of a cable processing device 2, according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention. In a first step S1, a plurality of measured values ​​from sensors of the at least one cable processing device 2 are generated, preferably at predetermined time intervals, via a plurality of modules 3. Subsequently, in a second step S2, the measured values ​​of the at least one cable processing device 2 are transmitted to at least one volatile buffer 4, wherein one of the at least one volatile buffer 4 is individually assigned to one of the at least one cable processing device 2.In a third step S3, the measured values ​​from at least one cable processing device 2 are bundled via the corresponding volatile buffer 4, which is assigned to the respective cable processing device 2, and then transmitted in a fourth step S4 to the non-volatile final memory 5. In the final fifth step S5 of the process, the already transmitted measured values ​​in the at least one volatile buffer 4 are released for subsequent overwriting.

[0056] In the embodiment described above, the recording system 1 was designed to record the measured values ​​of only the single cable processing device 2. In a modification of this embodiment, the recording system 1 is designed to record the measured values ​​of two or more cable processing devices, each cable processing device comprising a plurality of modules and a plurality of sensors. Each cable processing device then has its own volatile buffer, which aggregates and consolidates the measured values ​​from the sensors of that cable processing device. The measured values ​​from the two or more cable processing devices are transferred to a single final buffer common to all cable processing devices.For this purpose, each volatile buffer is configured to transmit the measured values ​​to a single communication unit common to all cable processing devices. Each volatile buffer can further be configured to include, in addition to the measured value ID and a timestamp, a data marker that allows the measured value to be assigned to that specific cable processing device, so that the non-volatile final memory can identify which of the at least two cable processing devices a specific measured value originates from. It is further understood that the communication unit common to all cable processing devices is configured to determine from which of the volatile buffers measured values ​​can be transmitted at any given time.

[0057] The previously described modification can be further modified in that each of the cable processing devices has its own individual volatile buffer, and this buffer transmits the measured values ​​of that cable processing device to a communication unit assigned to that cable processing device. The communication unit then transmits the measured values ​​to a single recording unit common to all cable processing devices, which has a non-volatile buffer common to all cable processing devices. The number of communication units is as high as the number of cable processing devices. Preferably or alternatively, a recording system 1 can have two or more cable processing devices 2.
