Filed:

Feb 21, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/357199

Inventors:

Martin Lee Dickrell - Seattle WA, US
Steven Dale Rees - Bothell WA, US
Anthony Edward Develice - Mukilteo WA, US
Alex Brandon Dexter - Lake Stevens WA, US

Assignee:

Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

H01R 11/00

US Classification:

439505, 439214

Abstract:

The control apparatus includes a plurality of control units. Each control unit includes a cable containing electrical conductors. Male and female connectors may be disposed at opposite end portions of the cable. An inline connector may be disposed between the male and female connectors and is connected with the electrical conductors. A sensor has terminals which are engagable with terminals in the inline conductor to connect the sensor with the electrical conductors in the cable. Upon disconnection of one sensor from the control apparatus, an electrical connection is maintained with the remaining sensors.

Inventors:

Steven Rees - Bothell WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

700230000

Abstract:

A method of controlling the transport of product along an accumulation conveyor is provided. The accumulation conveyor has a plurality of zones. Each zone is independently driven and has a status corresponding to the presence of product thereon. The method includes the steps of generating a first data table containing instructions for transporting the product between a first pair of zones of the accumulation conveyor and monitoring the status of the plurality of zones. A first zone is driven in response to the status of the plurality of zones in accordance with the instructions.

Assignee:

EATON CORPORATION - CLEVELAND OH

International Classification:

G05B 19/05

Abstract:

A distributed logic control apparatus is usable to control a system and includes a plurality of enhanced intelligent devices and a network protocol control that are connected with a data network. The intelligent devices each have a processor apparatus and an algorithm operable thereon that enables each intelligent device to control a corresponding part of the system. Other algorithms on the intelligent devices provide an advantageous setup operation that enables the intelligent devices to cooperate with one another in a self-setup operation.
