Abstract
An apparatus or manufacturing system in which a first member executes a desired function or action which is controllable as a function of at least one parameter characteristic for a second member is provided. A first detector detects signals corresponding to values of the at least one parameter of the second member. At least one transmitter receives the detected signals and assigns coded/numbered messages for each value of the parameter. The apparatus further includes at least one receiver with a control module for controlling the desired action of the first member. The signal transmission between the transmitter and the receiver occurs over a connection bus and the signals are transmitted in the form of the coded/numbered messages in a predetermined order, with well defined transmission times between the first detector and the transmitter and between the transmitter and the receiver. A control unit controls operation of the receiver module and send thereto at least information regarding a desired parameter value at which a corresponding desired function or action is to be executed by the first member, or a desired message number to be selected. The receiver obtains the requested d…
