Abstract: A digital data detector (27) is part of the primary side control electronics in a high voltage integrated circuit for regulating a power supply secondary side output potential; the detector output (27a) is responsive to the transitions of digital error data received from the supply secondary side via an electrically-isolated data transmission means. Only the transition edges are utilized by the detector, so that any non-linearity after each transition of the transmission means is immaterial. If the isolation device is a pulse transformer (17), the transformer core can be of relatively small volume, as full-pulse reproduction is unimportant and pulse saturation is tolerable. A multiplexer (33) allows the primary side control electronics to initiate power supply operation; control is switched to the secondary side responsive to signal edges therefrom being detected by the digital data detector.

Abstract: Appliances (102, 102, 106 and 108) are controlled by providing a source (201 6, 112) of command fields (CMD, Fig. 2) that include a context subfield (Community, Fig. 4) defining operating modes and a command subfield (Command, Fig. 4) definin g operations to be performed within the context subfield. A network (119) transmits the command fields between the source and the appliance. A controller (112, 116) processes the command fields so that an operation defined by one of the command subfields is performed.

Abstract: A microprocessor-based relay system is used in combination with relay contactors and a control circuit therefor to protect an electric motor from overload currents in addition to phase faults, ground faults, load losses, and load jams. The microprocessor is provided with a data base comprising thermal characteristics of the motor during heating and cooling. The heating data comprise current versus time curves stored as a look-up table for which each data point represents a thermal limit, i.e., the maximum time the motor is permitted to operate at a particular current level. The cooling data comprise motor cooling rates. Phase currents are sampled at preselected fixed time intervals during a predetermined period thereof, and an average motor current value is calculated therefrom. A thermal sum, which is initialized at zero upon first starting the motor, is adjusted depending on the average motor current value relative to a predetermined overload current value. The average motor current value is used as an index to the heating curve look-up table. If the thermal sum exceeds the corresponding thermal limit in the look-up table for a predetermined time interval, then an overload condition is indicated, and the relay is tripped.
