Abstract: A self-diagnosing electronic price label. The label communicates with a central processor in order to receive price information for display and to report the status of the label to the central processor. The label periodically runs a self-test program to verify proper operation of its components. If a component fails the self-test, the failure is reported to a central processor, and the central processor reports the failure for investigation. During normal operation, the label issues a signal to the central processor indicating normal operation. In the event of a failure, the label ceases to send the signal indicating normal operation. When the signal is not received as expected, the central processor reports the failure to receive the signal for investigation. This allows the central processor to be alerted to failures which disable communication between the label and the central processor.

Abstract translation: 一个自我诊断的电子价格标签。 标签与中央处理器通信，以便接收显示的价格信息，并将标签的状态报告给中央处理器。 标签定期运行自检程序，以验证其组件的正确操作。 如果组件自检失败，则会将故障报告给中央处理器，并且中央处理器报告调查失败。 在正常操作期间，标签向中央处理器发出指示正常操作的信号。 发生故障时，标签停止发送指示正常操作的信号。 当信号未按预期方式接收时，中央处理器报告无法接收到调查信号。 这样就可以让中央处理器被警告，从而阻止标签和中央处理器之间的通信。

Abstract: A shelf arrangement has a multiplicity of shelf units, each shelf unit having a receiver and a processor coupled thereto. Each receiver is set up to receive data from a data transmission unit fitted on an object which is to be arranged or is arranged in the respective shelf unit. Each processor is set up such that it can determine the position of the shelf unit's processor within the shelf arrangement by virtue of messages being interchanged by processors in directly adjacent shelf units.
