Description

The invention relates to an exercise device with exercise devices that can be used interchangeably at different positions in the exercise device and a method for carrying out emergency exercises, in particular fire exercises, for the training of rescue workers, in particular firefighters.

State of the art

There are a variety of fire, fire, emergency and emergency training facilities known in which a variety of fire and other training scenarios are used. Such scenarios, which constitute the actual core of an exercise facility, are, for example, burning objects, buildings and / or landscape parts. However, they can also depict or depict other situations or their aspects that emerge in the deployment of a rescue force. Thus, the training scenarios may also include smoke scenarios, sound scenarios (the acoustic aspects of use such as the cries of victims, including subjects to be rescued, or puppets, or collapsing buildings), and optical scenarios (the optical aspects of use, such as Light flashes of damaged electric cables). Also, the scenarios may be combinations of the above aspects, for example, to depict explosions, etc. DE 69228316 T2 discloses, for example, an exercise device in which for training purposes the temperature of a fire site to which a fire extinguishing agent is applied is detected and the flame height is controlled. The US 5 509 807 A teaches a fire training device that can be gesteutert by means of a remote control. US 2011/0256515 A1 discloses an exercise room eg for the rescue of persons. A disadvantage of known training systems is the lack of variability, for example because the scenarios are permanently installed, but at least they are not arbitrarily variable, for example because their connecting cables are permanently installed in the practice area or building. So practice scenarios are always at the same or only slightly changed place. This prohibits, to some extent, recombining or arranging them. This is a disadvantage even if it is built according to the dummy or attachment principle known for such training systems. In this known principle, the fixed or only partially movable function-bearing scenario parts, such as gas burners, installed stationary and possibly movable over existing cable lengths. In addition, add-on modules (dummies, "props" or attachments) are available for this, which can be implemented between these function-supporting scenario parts, such as: B. a kitchen fire attachment, a bed burner attachment, a gas bottle fire attachment, etc.

Even with this concept, each returning user of such a training facility is still clear at which point of the training facility is expected in each case with a training scenario. Although the dummy article may change, the basic layout and structure of the system's scenarios remains constant and easily comprehensible to the user, which limits the practical value of the system for returning users, since it is not constantly Practice, with always different and surprisingly occurring challenges in ever different places can be expected.

It is also technically hardly possible with this concept to make very different scenarios interchangeable and monitorable. Thus, according to this concept, a "FlashOver" module, which generates an explosive flame roller under the ceiling, can hardly be technically exchanged for a bed burner attachment of a floor-standing burner basic module. Certainly not such a pure smoke generator can be exchanged for a fire attachment.

task

The object of the invention is thus to provide an exercise device in which the exercise scenarios between rooms or areas of an exercise facility can be flexibly reconfigured and yet clearly operated and technically controlled, which also includes the possibility of not having a training scenario in a room / area in a configuration in which there was one before, while in other rooms / areas possibly several scenarios can be concentrated - in which there may have been none in previous configuration.

Also, a maximum of technical flexibility and interchangeability should be achieved even between widely differing scenarios, so that e.g. even a FlashOver module can be exchanged for a pure smoke module or bed fire module. This should preferably be done without tools for reasons of simplicity.

An optional air supply system ensures the supply of the necessary combustion air or the necessary oxygen for combustion for used firing scenarios.

The control and control unit ensures the control and controlled operation of all the exercise equipment used. For this control entity (s) such as. B. TouchScreen (s), remote control (s), push-button or switch panel (s) are used, which are connected to the control and control unit (also wirelessly) and the operation by one or more operators also far from the control and control unit enable.

Detailed illustration of the invention

By a practicable in accordance with here demonstrated technology connection for mobile exercise equipment, especially fire practice equipment, different practice or fire scenarios in different rooms or different locations in a "practice landscape" can be displayed.

An advantageous for the user embodiment of the invention requires that each exercise device with fuel needs a quick connection for the fuel supply is used, which is tool-free or at least low tools implementable and quickly reconfigurable and that all belonging to the system - or at least many of the equipment belonging exercise equipment (so far these require a fuel supply by nature) are provided with a universal (standardized) fuel supply connection for the system. The respective detachable connection (standardized) in the training facility is called the plug-in position for the fuel supply.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the releasable connection may be a one-sided (supply line side) or on both sides closing quick-release coupling. In this case, a clutch can be used, the two parts by turning (bayonet-like or thread-like, such as "thread-to-connect couplings") can put each other in the open state.

One embodiment of the invention provides that the fuel supply system (in particular in the case of gaseous fuels) is embodied as a ring line around the installation and / or around individual parts or spaces of the installation.

An alternative useful embodiment of the fuel supply system (in particular but not only for liquid fuels) includes that the fuel is passed through a single- or double-stranded flow and return system. In the case of the two-strand flow and return system, the detachable connection of the exercise equipment to the fuel supply system must also be made in two parts.

Another useful embodiment of the invention includes that the fuel supply system is characterized in that centralized or decentralized pressure control device (s) keep the fuel-fluid pressure in the system within a permissible window constant or stabilize (s) ,

In addition to the fuel supply system, which is only needed for exercise equipment with fuel needs, all detachable controllable exercise equipment requires a detachable connection to the plant's control system.

An advantageous for the user embodiment of the invention requires that each exercise device a quick connection is used, which is tool-free or at least low tool and quickly reconfigurable and that all belonging to the exercise device - or at least many of the exercise device belonging - exercise equipment with a for the Facility universal (standardized) control system connection, which is referred to as a plug-in position for the data transmission system.

However, in order for the control and control unit to display the current configuration correctly and to make it controllable and controllable in a clear and secure manner, it is necessary for each plug-in position for the data transmission system to receive an electronic identification that is unique in the system.

An embodiment of this invention provides that this electronic identification is preset and takes place via a digital coding switch or interruptible hardware bits within each plug-in position for the data transmission system for the connection between the training device and the system's control system.

Another technical feature of this invention is realized via a unique ID chip with one or two wire communication within each plugin position for the data communication system. Another technical feature of the invention is that the said electronic identification takes place via a microcontroller or an electronic storage medium (such as an EPROM or an ASIC) with a programmed ID in the context of each plug-in position for the data transmission system. A further embodiment of the invention is that the said electronic identification via an electronically readable NFC tag or RFID tag in the context of each plug-in position for connection between the exercise device and control system of the system.

An additional feature of the invention includes that this microcontroller unit in the context of each plug-in position for connection between exercise device and control system of the system at the same time, if the data transmission system is designed as a serial bus, a bus repeater function or bus Gateway function can take over or in the case of a network, eg. As in the case of Ethernet, a switch or hub function, so that the entire bus integrity and / or communication at the same time improved or preserved or extended or greater overall bus and / or network line lengths achievable are.

In order that the control / control unit can display the current configuration correctly for the user and make it controllable and controllable in a clear and secure manner, it is also necessary for each exercise device that can be connected to the control system to receive an electronic identification which is unique in the system.

This can be done according to an embodiment of the invention via a digital encoder switch or bridgeable / breakable / interruptible hardware bits in the exercise device or its connection. Another embodiment of the invention provides that the aforementioned unique electronic identification of the exercise device in the system via a unique ID chip with one or two-wire communication in the exercise device or its connection. Another useful embodiment of the invention includes that the mentioned unique electronic identification of the exercise device in the system via a microcontroller or an electronic storage medium (such as an EPROM or an ASIC) with a programmed ID in practice scenario or its connection , An alternative embodiment of the invention includes that the mentioned unique electronic identification of the exercise device in the system via an electronically readable NFC tag or RFID tag in the exercise device or its connection.

In order for the control / control unit to correctly display the current configuration of the exercise device and to make the exercisers controllable and controllable in a clear and secure manner, it is necessary for the control / control unit, via the data transmission system, to be informed of the pairings between in the system electronically uniquely identified plug-in positions and located in the system electronically uniquely identified exercise equipment according to the current configuration of the exercise device.

One embodiment of the invention comprises that each pairing of one of the abovementioned plug-in positions of the control system and the exercise device connected there is characterized in that both parts of the system that are identifiable in this manner in an electronically unambiguous manner in the system (plug-in position of the control system and exercise scenario ) communicate with each other in such a way that the control / control unit is informed of the pairing of both unique electronic identifications when connected to each other via the data transmission system and thus automatically known to the control / control unit or control entities connected to it, which exercise device is currently at which Plugin position is connected and preferably also if a plugin position is not assigned.

A preferred implementation in this case provides that the exercise device or the electronics of its connection via a serial bus system notifies at which plug-in position the exercise device is currently connected locally.

It is also necessary for the operation of the single implementable exerciser that its power supply be solvable, implementable, and reconfigurable, analogous to the fuel supply and data communication system set forth above. However, it is preferred that data transmission system and power supply are combined and provided in a plug-in position.

An advantageous for the user embodiment of the invention requires that each exercise device a quick connection is used, which is tool-free or at least implementable tool and quickly reconfigurable and that all belonging to the system or at least many of the system belonging - exercise equipment with a for the Plant universal (standardized) power supply connection are provided. On the other hand, there are necessarily the universal (standardized) docking stations (plug-in positions) for the energy supply system in the system.

For the function of the individual convertible controllable and burning exercise device in fully or partially closed practice rooms, it is also necessary that its supply of combustion air or oxygen is ensured.

An embodiment of the invention provides that the aforementioned supply of combustion air or oxygen for burning exercise equipment is ensured by a present in the practice rooms minimum basic ventilation per room ventilation basic turnover.

A further embodiment of the invention provides that the mentioned supply of combustion air or oxygen for fire training devices is ensured by a compressed air connection to each exercise device, which is either structurally separated from the other plug-in connections as set out above, or According to a preferred embodiment, it is mechanically integrated into the fuel supply, data transmission system and / or the power supply and in each case uses one of these plug-in connections.

A preferred and user-friendly design / execution provides mechanically summarize the plug-in connections for compressed air, the data transmission system and the power supply in as few or even a single plug-in connection.

This results in a preferred embodiment of the invention in which only two mechanically separate plug-in connections are realized for exercise equipment with fuel: one for the fuel supply, a second, in the all electrical connections (control system, power supply and electronic identification of the plug-in position ) are covered and mechanically integrated.

Thus, another embodiment of the invention, in which exercise equipment with fuel demand only two mechanically separate releasable connections are realized: one for the fuel supply, a second, in the all electrical connections (control system, power supply and electronic identification of the plug-in position and If necessary, an additional air connection for combustion air or combustion oxygen is covered and mechanically integrated.

According to an alternative embodiment of the invention are for training devices with fuel only two mechanically separate connectors available: one for the fuel supply and a second connector in the all electrical connections (control system, power supply and the electronic identification of the plug-in position) are mechanically integrated. In addition, an air connection for combustion air or combustion oxygen can be provided, for example: in the form of compressed air. This can be integrated in the connectors for the fuel supply.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention for exercise equipment without fuel demand only a mechanically separate plug-in connection is realized in which all electrical connections (control system, power supply and electronic identification of the docking station (the plug-in position)) are integrated.

In another advantageous embodiment of the invention for all exercise equipment (with or without fuel demand) each of the o. G. Connections per exercise device, which are necessary for the functioning of the system realized and covered in only one mechanically separate connector.

The solution of the problem according to the invention includes making arrangements for the operation which always enable the operator and instructor to have an overview of the configuration of the installation and its safe operation. Ideally, this includes a control and control system with one or more control entities tailored to the reconfigurable nature of the asset.

The control and control system and / or the control entities, which are so pronounced, communicate with the training devices and possibly the cameras via the serial data transmission system. A preferred feature of the serial data transmission system is its nature as a bus system or network, z. As an Ethernet-based network or as a Versorgunsgspannung superimposed audio frequency. The control system may have one or more control entities (bus or network master or command devices) that control the participants in the bus or network (training devices).

In one embodiment of the invention may be a control entity: A touch screen PC and / or a wired remote control and / or wireless remote control (transmission by radio or optical).

To increase the security of a bus system, an overarching additional security layer with security features is provided. So u. a. prevents any EMV irradiation in the bus line or any bus line break could ever trigger a potentially dangerous exercise scenario or let it continue uncontrollably (eg burning). In addition, this ensures that a safety-relevant stop command always has priority on the bus system and does not have to wait too long for transmission on a message-fulfilled bus system. This is achieved by assigning corresponding prioritized pre-fixes to corresponding data packets or telegrams on the bus system.

If more than one control entity is present at the same time, a preferred embodiment of the invention consists in determining at a technically central point on the control system either by software or hardware input which control entity currently has the highest priority ( the main master is). A consistent further refinement then implies that only the master master has the right to send "unsafe commands" (ie, commands that lower the overall security of the facility, such as "start a fire," "increase a fire"), but any existing and functioning control entity is always authorized to send "safe commands" (commands that increase the overall security of the facility, such as "stop fire", "reduce fire")

The aforementioned serial communication system should be a "security messaging system" due to the task and hazard assessment as part of the control system, preferably with a heartbeat function between each control entity that is allowed to start potentially dangerous (fire) scenarios and every bus user (training scenario) is present and designed such that in the event of a line break or failure of the control entity, each exercise scenario on the bus sets itself to safe state within a safety time after the heartbeat has been removed (eg all Fire out, smoke from etc.) and in which this safety time preferably eg > = 200 ms (until self-deactivation) and if the priority of the control entity currently has the highest priority (the master master is the task), the task is to send the heart beat to all exercise scenarios so to guarantee its functioning against the exercise equipment.

It is also recommended that the serial data transmission system be configured so that "safe commands" (eg, shutdown commands, as well as commands that increase the security of the overall system - such as "flame down") are always on the serial communication system Have priority (clear electronic priority) over other commands and are always preferred, and where the serial communication system configures its subscribers to send "unsafe commands" to the serial communication system (commands that increase the overall system's dangerousness, such as "fire start "or" enlarge fire ") are executed after a complement check: The control entity first sends the original command, the addressed participant stores it and waits for the immediately following sending of the same command from the same control entity in inverted (complementary form). Only when the two commands match as complement, the "unsafe command" from the controlled bus participant (practice scenario) is executed. This effectively prevents any failure of the serial communications system or EMC from ever triggering a potentially "unsafe command".

It is advisable, here also a preferred expression in which all o. G. Security features on the serial data transmission system, even in its wireless extension, are consistently continued, in particular the heartbeat function, in a wireless control entity (such as a wireless remote control) that currently has the highest priority (master). If the radio or light heartbeat is not required, the receiver must ensure that the serial data transmission system heartbeat into which it "translates" is immediately deleted. For example, with Akku-low or transmission-out-of-range it is ensured that no exercise device can ever continue to work uncontrolled by a control entity, but instead instantly switches to a safe state (eg: fire off). ,

If a control entity is provided with an optical interface GUI (eg PC with or without touchscreen or tablet PC), it has the following characteristics in a preferential manner, which serve the comfortable and safe function: The GUI automatically displays in real time and clearly which one Exercise device in the system is currently connected to which plug-in position. In doing so, it uses the unique identifications transmitted on the serial data transmission system.

It is also recommended an embodiment of the invention, in which for each exercise scenario, a realistic and / or photo-like representation of the exercise device with high recognition value is used for the operator and / or in the case of each exercise device different status options (such as: burning , smoking, igniting, etc.) are presented in a realistic and / or photo-like manner with high recognition value for the operator, in accordance with the status messages received electronically by the exercise device.

Also, a preferred expression is useful in which the GUI represents its necessary control elements or display elements to match the nature of each exercise scenario and / or in which these control elements are start and / or stop buttons and / or at These control elements can dynamically amplify or weaken functions, or these control elements are spin buttons, eg to reduce or increase the size of fires and / or where these control elements are spin buttons, eg to reduce the size of fires or to enlarge and / or where these control elements are sliders or knobs to eg: reduce or increase the size of fire and / or where these control elements are fields that determine parameters for the operation of the scenario and / or at the such a parameter is a delay time with which an exercise scenario automatically responds to external start signals or deletion attempts and / or to those control elements te the onset of a flashback in case of poor deletion on or off.

In addition, there are meaningful embodiments of the invention, in which these control elements determine the deletion difficulty level and / or in which these control elements can be selected between automatic deletion detection and manual deletion function (by the operator) and / or at the per exercise shown Scenario is an exposure time from outside by exercise participants (eg: an attempted deletion time from registration of the deletion attempt by sensors) recorded and displayed. and / or at which control elements are stored that store this exposure time from outside by exercise participants.

In addition, if possible, control elements are displayed, which re-set this exposure time from the outside by exercise participants. In the case of another possible characteristic, a media exposure measure (for example, measured quantity of extinguishing water) from the outside by exercise participants (eg: an attempted deletion time from the registration of the deletion attempt by sensors) are recorded and displayed and / or control elements displayed for each illustrated exercise scenario that save this media impact measure from outside by exercise participants and / or control elements that re-set this media impact measure from outside by exercise participants.

Additionally, if possible, room and / or exercise scenario parameters are measured in real time, displayed on the GUI (such as: temperature (s), gas concentration (s), and / or room and / or exercise scenario related alarms); which are detected in real time, displayed on the GUI as plain text (such as: pressed emergency stop button, too high gas concentrations and / or too high room temperatures).

The graphical user interface (GUI) allows, in particular for a permanently installed control unit, that the exercise can be controlled from one place, eg the control room. In particular, a preview image of that camera is shown, which is directed to this scenario, so that the trainer can decide whether the scenario can be started safely here.

If the preferably smaller preview image of the camera is clicked, touched or otherwise activated, it is enlarged, e.g. as a pop-up window, on the same or an additional screen (for example, above the control screen). Click again, touch or swipe (etc.) to reduce the camera display to the preview size. The camera system may e.g. be implemented as an IP camera system or as a POE IP camera system. The camera (s) can be thermal imaging cameras

According to one embodiment, the camera image opens enlarged on the same (e.g., on a pop-up window) or on an additional screen (eg, above the control screen) when the camera is registering movements. The process can be reversed automatically if there is no movement.

The camera can also be used to record image sequences, such as training participants and their performance parameters (extinguishant consumption / extinguishing time) and / or biometrics data (such as heart rate / body temperature / blood pressure).

Thus, suitable fire scenarios such as e.g. Flue gas flashes through FlashOver modules mounted under the practice room ceiling, interchangeably mounted and deployed in different locations.

Another scenario is provided by BackDraftDoor modules. These are training devices that represent a complete fire door, which is already clearly heated by an oxygen-depleted smoldering fire behind it and causes a flue gas explosion in careless opening and corresponding sudden oxygen supply. In the case of a BackdraftDoor module, the exercise device can be replaced with a "normal" fire door, which has been prepared for it. Subsequently, both doors are mechanically locked in their respective position and fixed. The door, which is the exercise machine, is connected in its new position to the fuel supply, power supply and data communication system. For example, a firefighter on the attack side of a BackdraftDoor module does not know at first which door was configured as a BackDraft door in this exercise behind which a BackDraft (flue gas blast) can be expected in case of careless opening.

In order to further increase the realism of such an exercise device, it is in a useful embodiment of the invention still supplemented by an electronic device within the exercise device for detecting the opening of the BackDraft door, thereby the BackDraft function is triggered as a fire scenario. In an additional embodiment of the invention, the o.g. electronic device a reed contact with counter magnet. In a further embodiment of the invention, the o.g. electronic device be an electro-mechanical limit switch and / or a light barrier. An additional feature of the invention is designed so that the o.g. electronic device is a capacitive or inductive proximity switch.

In the case of a smoke or fog exercise scenario (smoke or fog generator exercise device) results in a meaningful embodiment of the invention, in which the smoke or fog fluid is integrated or carried in or on the housing of the scenario.

• 2 Die Ausgestaltung der Übungsanlage nach 1 mit einer anderen Anordnung der Übungsgeräte.

The invention is further illustrated by the accompanying figures without being limited to these. Show it:

• 1 An embodiment of the exercise facility with two rooms
• 2 The design of the training facility after 1 with a different arrangement of exercise equipment.

In the exercise facility shown in the figures are two spaces intended for exercises 1 . 2 shown. Another room is the control room 5 , The rooms have a permanently installed supply and control infrastructure. It includes a permanently installed fuel supply system for fuel gas or fuel as a basis for the operation of exercise equipment with fuel demand for the presentation of firing scenarios. The fuel supply system consists of a fuel line 12 per practice room, each jointly to a central pressure control system in the form of a central gas supply 15 eg connected with propane. The central gas supply 15 It serves to supply fuel to the supply system and stabilizes and secures the fuel pressure within the nominal pressure range permitted in the practice system.

The minimum pressure in the fuel line 12 is determined by the required nominal pressure to the fuel line 12 connected exercise equipment, so that all pilot flames and / or main flame, especially that of the exercise device with the highest threshold for the lowest nominal pressure still burns safe or secure remote ignition is still possible.

As far as the nominal pressure for normal operation in the exercise device is less than that in the fuel line 12 provided pressure reducer are used, preferably in the flexible releasable connection for the fuel supply. The fuel line 12 preferably also includes non-illustrated fuel safety features such as a safety shut-off valve (SAV) and a safety blow-off valve (SBV).

Like the nominal size of the fuel line 12 and the fuel line throughput 12 are based on the maximum expected throughput of all possibly simultaneously connected training devices 3 with fuel demand, taking into account a realistic simultaneity factor of your operation.

The fuel line 12 is preferably at the bottom of the respective practice room 1 or. 2 or running near the floor, since there the lowest temperatures of the room atmosphere in the operation of the system and thus the lowest thermal load for the system are to be expected.

At suitable intervals are at the fuel line 12 detachable similar plugin positions 10 firmly mounted for fuel needs. They are in the form shown in the figures as on the "male" side shut off on both sides "Quick Couplings" or as such "thread-to-Connect Couplings", tool-free to connect or solve. Their nominal diameter and fuel throughput at rated pressure is determined by the highest throughput fuel demand gauge to be connected there, in this case by the FlashOver scenario exercise equipment, for which a nominal 1 inch diameter was chosen due to the high intermittent fuel throughput.

As many training devices as possible are completely movable in the exercise facility according to the invention and designed to be mobile between the exercise rooms. For the exercise device 3 For example, with FlashOver this means that this is above any of the detachable plugin positions 10 for the fuel supply can be hung with a provided there on the wall holding device under the Übungsraum ceiling. For the exercise device 3 Shelf-fire scenario or the exercise device 3 Gas bottle burning means that this between the exercise rooms 1 or. 2 moved and grounded in front of any of the detachable plugin positions 10 can be set up for the fuel supply.

Each of the exercise machines 3 with fuel needs has a flexible, detachable connection 14 for the fuel supply system or its ring line 12 respectively to their permanently mounted detachable plug-in positions 10 , It is designed in this form as a fuel-carrying compound in the form of a permitted for this purpose stainless steel corrugated hose, the actual practice scenario with fuel demand with the "female" side of a double-shut off "Quick Coupling" or just such a "thread-to-connect coupling" connects to each of their permanently mounted plugin positions 10 for fuel supply to connect tool-free or is to solve.

In the case of the FlashOver scenario, the stainless steel corrugated hose described must be designed to be long enough to accommodate the under-the-ceiling exercise scenario with the fixed-mounted detachable plug-in positions near the floor 10 , can connect without pulling stress during the stainless steel corrugated hose of floor standing exercise scenarios due to the smaller operating distance to the near-ground, permanently mounted detachable plug-in positions 10 can be shorter accordingly.

Furthermore, the fixed installed supply and control infrastructure shown here includes the practice rooms 1 and 2 fixed plug-in positions 9 for the purpose of controlling and supplying power to the connected exercise scenarios - this can also be exercise scenarios without fuel demand 4 - such. B. smoke or electro-acoustic (sound effect) scenarios.

At least each in close proximity to the plugin positions described above 10 for fuel supply and possibly at other places within the practice rooms 1 or. 2 are preferably completely similar plugin positions 9 firmly mounted for the purpose of controlling / controlling and supplying electric power to the exercise equipment. They are designed in this form as a "female" side multifunctional and waterproof industrial connectors with multiple function blocks, which are to connect or to solve with respect to each of their counterparts tool-free. Is one of the plugin positions 9 For the purpose of control / monitoring and electrical power supply of the exercise equipment currently not connected to such an exercise device, it is sealed by means of water or extinguishing agent-tight cap or lid to avoid short circuits and ground faults in the system.

All permanently mounted plugin positions 9 for the control / control and electrical power supply are provided by permanently installed electrical connections in the form of a bus system 8th with the responsible control unit 7 , here executed as a control panel 7 connected with touch screen PC. The power supply percentage for each detachable plugin position 9 is firmly connected, this is ensured by feed lines that present their electrical energy from the central control panel 7 and from there to any permanently mounted plugin position 9 Are "looped through".

• - aus Sicherheitsgründen statt des erwähnten „Durchschleifens“ bevorzugt, für jeden Übungsraum 1 bzw. 2 eine separate Absicherung dieser Energieversorgung für die fest montierten Plugin-Positionen 9 pro Raum mittels eines Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalters vorzusehen und
• - erforderlich in der oben spezifizierten Industrie-Steckverbindung eine klare elektromechanische und sicherheitstechnische Separation zwischen Schutzkleinspannung führenden Kontakten und nicht Schutzkleinspannung führenden Kontakte innerhalb der Industriesteckverbindung vorzusehen.

Is the power supply for every detachable plugin position 9 this is the case exclusively or additionally above the voltage value for protective extra-low voltage

• - For safety reasons instead of the mentioned "looping through" preferred for each practice room 1 or. 2 a separate protection of this power supply for the permanently mounted plug-in positions 9 to provide per room by means of a residual current circuit breaker and
• - Required in the above-specified industrial connector to provide a clear electromechanical and safety separation between protective extra-low voltage contacts and non-safety extra-low voltage contacts within the industrial connector.

It is not shown that the power supply is completely independent of the control system and in addition connected to a separate emergency stop and alarm system, which in itself in case of alarm, an automatic interruption of the power supply to all training devices and thus a Zufallen all internal Solenoid valves of the fuel supply of all training devices 3 with fuel demand or their immediate emergency shutdown causes - as well as all exercise equipment 4 without fuel requirement by withdrawal of any electrical energy supply.

The control function for every detachable plugin position 9 This is ensured by a serial bus system, which has all detachable plug-in positions 9 with each other and with the relevant control unit 7 over firm connections 8th combines.

Another functional block of the above-specified industrial connector is used for the plug-in connection shown here for serial, bus-based data transmission to the inserted / connected training devices 3 and 4 ,

All plugin positions 9 are also electronically uniquely identified to fulfill the function of the exercise device, so that on the control unit 7 the assignment, "which exercise device 3 . 4 currently at which plugin position 9 connected "is detected and can be displayed.
