Fault message system and method for transmitting fault messages
First Claim
1. A fault message system comprising a plurality of production units, a fault alarm box, a process computer, and one or more data receiving units for receiving and indicating fault messages, wherein said production units are arranged spatially distributed, wherein said production units have means for generating and indicating a fault signal, wherein each production unit is associated with a transmitting unit for the wireless transmission of fault signals, wherein said fault alarm box is constructed for receiving and forwarding fault messages, wherein two or more of said production units are arranged to form at least one group, wherein each group is associated with a data receiving unit, wherein said data receiving units are connected to the fault alarm box, and wherein the fault alarm box is connected to the process computer.

Abstract
The invention relates to a fault message system and a method for issuing fault messages that involves several production units, which are distributed over a spatial area and comprise elements for generating and displaying a fault message, a fault message box, which is configured to receive and forward fault messages and one or more receivers for receiving and displaying fault messages. Several production units are arranged in at least one group; each production unit is assigned to a transmitter for the wireless transmission of the fault messages; a data receiver is assigned to each group; the data receivers are connected to the fault message box; and the latter is connected to a process computer.

28. A method for outputting fault messages comprising:
-
generating a first fault signal at a production unit of a group of production units;
sending said first fault signal to a data receiving unit associated with said group;
sending said first fault signal from said data receiving unit to a fault alarm;
determining whether to send a fault message from said fault alarm; and
sending a first fault message generated by said fault alarm to at least one data receiving unit or process computer. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
