Methods and systems for enabling or disabling a non-interfering mode in a telematics device are provided. The methods may include determining by a telematics server that a telematics device coupled to an asset communications bus of an asset may enter or exit a non-interfering mode. The methods may also include detecting the presence of a diagnostic tool on the asset communications bus.

A method of detecting manipulation of data on a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, and a device performing the method. In an aspect, the method includes detecting manipulation of data on a CAN bus to which the device is connected. The method comprises detecting that bus impedance is below a threshold bus impedance value, detecting whether or not CAN node arbitration currently may occur on the CAN bus upon detecting that the bus impedance is below the threshold bus impedance value, and if not determining that an attempt to manipulate data on the CAN bus has occurred.

A wind turbine having a Controller Area Network communication system is provided. Electrical and/or electronic components of the wind turbine are coupled to CAN nodes. The communication system has a plurality of CAN nodes. At least one CAN distributor unit is coupled via a first communication segment to one of the plurality of CAN nodes and via a second communication segment to at least one further CAN distributing unit. The CAN distributor units are designed to carry out a data communication via the first communication segment on the basis of a first CAN protocol which represents a standard CAN protocol, and to carry out a data communication via a second communication segment on the basis of a second CAN protocol which is different from the standard CAN protocol.

The invention relates to a measuring system for measuring a sample in an automated analysis machine. The measuring system comprises a measuring device for recording measurement values of a measured variable and a first controller and a second controller for processing the measurement values and a sliding contact system with sliding contacts, wherein the measurement values are transferred from the measuring device to the first controller and wherein the measurement values are transferred from the first controller to the second controller via the sliding contacts. The measuring system comprises an error counter which captures the errors occurring during the transfer of the measurement values from the first controller to the second controller via the sliding contacts.

A vehicle information service implemented on one or more computers of a service provider network implements a first application programmatic interface (API) that allows a client to define inclusion parameters and a sample size for a fleet of vehicles from which vehicle data is to be collected. The vehicle information service also implements a second API that notifies the client when the requested vehicle data has been collected from the vehicle fleet. Additionally, the vehicle information service provides the client access to the collected vehicle data. The vehicle information service manages the collection of the vehicle data from the client defined vehicle fleet without requiring further client involvement and notifies the client when the collection of the vehicle data is complete.

A method of equalizing received packet data in a bus topology network, including: receiving, by a receiver of a second node, a first packet from a first node in a bus topology network in which two or more nodes are connected via a bus; setting, by the receiver, an equalizer coefficient of an equalizer using a first training sequence of the first packet and storing the set equalizer coefficient; receiving, by the receiver, a second packet including a second training sequence shorter than the first training sequence from the first node; and equalizing, by the receiver, the second packet using the stored equalizer coefficient.

In an embodiment, the infrastructure comprises a script execution module that comprises a compiler that compiles scripts, having instructions that reference device properties, into virtual-machine programs, a virtual machine that executes virtual-machine programs, and a script manager that stores scripts, retrieves scripts, and loads scripts into the compiler. In addition, the infrastructure may comprise gateway(s), communicatively connected to physical device(s). The gateway(s) may each comprise processor(s), driver(s) that each communicate with at least one physical device using a communication protocol to read and/or write device properties of the physical device, and a device manager that maps device properties referenced in the virtual-machine programs to device properties used by the driver(s).

Modular industrial automation device and method for configuring a modular industrial automation device, wherein in order to configure the modular industrial automation device which includes a central unit and at least one communication module which each comprise a router module and a routing configuration unit, the routing configuration units transmit routing information stored in their routing table to routing configuration units of other router modules, and the routing configuration units update their respective routing table based on routing information which is received from routing configuration units of other router modules and relates to routes to IPv4 subnetworks assigned to other router modules, a default gateway and a connection between the associated router module and a backplane bus system.
