Device for transmitting data and control commands via radio connections in a distributed control system for one or more machines and/or processes
First Claim
1. Device for transmitting data and control commands via radio connections between nodes in a distributed control system for one or more machines and/or one or more processes, characterized in that the nodes operate as or with radio transmitters and/or radio receivers, in that the nodes comprise or are controlled by activation devices for activating their transmission and receiver functions, in that the nodes also operate with the abovementioned activation devices comprising or controlling time-determination devices arranged to determine the transmission and reception positions of the nodes by means of the activation device and the allocated settings or controls, and in that the abovementioned settings and controls can be set by means of one or more schedules drawn up in or for the control system, in which the node or nodes are allocated unique or co-ordinated transmission and reception times on the radio connections.

Abstract
In a distributed control system for one or more machines and/or one or more processes, data and control commands are transmitted via radio connections between nodes in the control system. The nodes operate with radio transmitters and radio receivers and comprise or are controlled by activation devices for activating their transmission and receiver functions. The nodes also operate with time-determination devices which comprise or control the abovementioned activation devices. The time-determination devices are arranged to determine the transmission or reception position of the nodes by means of the activation devices and allocated settings or controls. The abovementioned settings or controls can be determined by means of one or more schedules implemented in or for the control system, in which the nodes are given unique or co-ordinated transmission and reception times on the radio connections.
