Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic operating data memory for a rotationally operating machine, with a transceiver device for the contactless transmitting and/or receiving of data, it being possible for operating data of the machine that are stored on the operating data memory to be read out and/or overwritten by means of a mobile terminal. The operating data include data that relate to the rotational operating principle of the machine and can be monitored and displayed by means of the mobile terminal.

Claims

1. An electronic operating data memory for a rotationally operating machine, the electronic operating data memory comprising:

a transceiver device configured to at least one of contactlessly transmit and contactlessly receive data, the transceiver device being formed as an RFID transponder tag,

a housing of the rotationally operating machine formed from a metallic material and at least one of a nonmetallic material, an electrically nonconducting material, and a magnetically nonconducting material, the housing further comprising;

an upper part and a lower part;

the RFID transponder tag being arranged within the housing between the upper part and the lower part of the housing; and

a shielding device arranged between the lower part of the housing and the RFID transponder tag,

wherein the electronic operating data memory is configured to store at least one of operating data and service data of the rotationally operating machine, the at least one of the operating data and the service data including data relating to a rotational operating principle of the rotationally operating machine, and

wherein the transceiver device is configured to enable a mobile terminal to (i) at least one of read out and overwrite the at least one of the operating data and the service data (ii) monitor the at least one of the operating data and the service data, and (iii) display the at least one of the operating data and the service data.

2. The electronic operating data memory according to claim 1, wherein the shielding device is formed as a shielding film comprising a polymer mixed with ferrite powder.

3. The electronic operating data memory according to claim 1, wherein:

a web is formed by a region of the housing that projects beyond the RFID transponder tag; and

a transceiver range of the RFID transponder tag is variable in proportion to a size of the web.

4. The electronic operating data memory according to claim 1, wherein the data relating to the rotational operating principle of the rotationally operating machine includes at least one of (i) a swept volume, (ii) a direction of rotation, (iii) a setting of a controller, (iv) a machine type, (v) a motor type, and (vi) a pump type.

5. The electronic operating data memory according to claim 1, wherein:

the RFID transponder tag is configured to establish a wireless data connection with the mobile terminal using at least one of (i) RFID, (ii) NFC, (iii) WLAN, and (iv) Bluetooth; and

the mobile terminal is formed as one of (i) a portable computer, (ii) a notebook, (iii) a tablet computer, and (iv) a smartphone.

6. The electronic operating data memory according to claim 1, wherein a program that is specifically designed for the rotationally operating machine is stored and run on the mobile terminal.

7. The electronic operating data memory according to claim 1, wherein the at least one of the operating data and the service data is stored in a separate memory that is accessible by way of at least one of a wire-bound data connection and a wireless data connection.

8. The electronic operating data memory according to claim 1, wherein the transceiver device is configured to enable the mobile terminal to (i) at least one of read out and overwrite the at least one of the operating data and the service data only after authorization of the mobile device.

9. A rotationally operating machine comprising:

an electronic operating data memory comprising;

a transceiver device being formed as an RFID transponder tag configured to at least one of contactlessly transmit and contactlessly receive data; and

a housing holding the RFID transponder tag, the housing being at least partially formed from a metallic material and a top layer of at least one of a nonmetallic material, an electrically nonconducting material, and a magnetically nonconducting material arranged on the RFID transponder tag, the top layer being formed as at least one of a conventional type plate and a lacquer layer;

wherein the electronic operating data memory is configured to store at least one of operating data and service data of the rotationally operating machine, the at least one of the operating data and the service data including data relating to a rotational operating principle of the rotationally operating machine, and

wherein the transceiver device is configured to enable a mobile terminal to (i) at least one of read out and overwrite the at least one of the operating data and the service data (ii) monitor the at least one of the operating data and the service data, and (iii) display the at least one of the operating data and the service data,

wherein the rotationally operating machine is formed as one of (i) a hydrostatic displacement unit, (ii) a transmission, (iii) a turbine, and (iv) an internal combustion engine.

10. An electronic operating data memory for a rotationally operating machine, the electronic operating data memory comprising:
