Process for the control of industrial or construction machinery
First Claim
1. Process for the remote control of a plurality of industrial or construction machines, such as cranes, travelers and similar machines, whereby a control channel is assigned to each industrial machine to be controlled, such that the signal of said control channel is converted into a control signal for the activation of one of the m power units of the m industrial machines, wherein n remote control units (S1 . . . Sn) are allocated to k concentrators (K1 . . . Kk), whereby the number (k) of concentrators is smaller than the number (n) of remote control units, and wherein the concentrators provide the signals from the control channels with an address and make them available by means of a common data network, to which the concentrators (K1 . . . Kk) and the control devices (ST1 . . . STm) for the m power units of the industrial machines to be controlled are connected, in such a way that a signal is recognized by its address and converted into the control signal for activation of the respective power unit.

Abstract
A process for the control of a plurality of industrial, construction or mobile hydraulic machines, such as cranes, travelers and similar machines, by means of n remote control units (S1 . . . Sn), allocates the remote control units to k concentrators (K1 . . . Kk), whereby the number (k) of concentrators is smaller than the number (n) of remote control units. Preferably, only a single concentrator (K) is provided. The concentrator (K) provides the signals from the remote control units with a suitable address and transmits them via a common data network, such as the power grid (AC), to which the concentrator (K) and control devices (ST1 . . . STm) for the m power units of the industrial machines to be controlled are connected in such a way that a signal is recognized by its address and converted into the control signal for activation of the respective power unit.
