Claims17
An operating system for a container handling machine, comprising:
- an operating device for the container handling machine, the container handling machine comprising at least one of a stretch-blow machine, a rinser, a closer, a labeling machine, and a packaging machine, the operating device stationarily arranged at the container handling machine, connected to a container handling machine control, and comprising a screen, an input unit, and a data transmitter for transmitting information;
- a first separate additional screen, the first additional screen being arranged on a first sub-assembly of the container handling machine and comprising a first data receiver for receiving the information from the operating device;
- and
- a second separate additional screen, the second additional screen being arranged on a second sub-assembly of the container handling machine, different from the first sub-assembly, and comprising a second data receiver for receiving the information from the operating device;
- wherein
- the operating device is configured to receive a selection of an information template associated with first information regarding the first sub-assembly and second information associated with the second sub-assembly with at least one of the screen or the input unit, the first and second information comprising at least one of information regarding the operation of the container handling machine or information regarding the maintenance of the container handling machine, and in response to receiving the selection, to transmit the first information with the data transmitter to the first data receiver of the first additional screen and to transmit the second information with the data transmitter to the second data receiver of the second additional screen;
- the first additional screen is configured to display the first information received with the first data receiver, without displaying the second information, in response to receiving the first information;
- and
- the second additional screen is configured to display the second information received with the second data receiver, without displaying the first information, in response to receiving the second information.

A method for operating and/or monitoring a container handling machine, comprising:
- receiving, at an operating device, a selection of an information template associated with first information regarding a first sub-assembly of the container handling machine and second information regarding a second sub-assembly of the container handling machine, wherein the container handling machine comprises at least one of a stretch-blow machine, a rinser, a closer, a labeling machine, and a packaging machine, the operating device stationarily arranged at the container handling machine, connected to a container handling machine control, and comprising a screen and an input unit, and the information template is selected with at least one of the screen and the input unit, the first and second information comprising at least one of information regarding the operation of the container handling machine or information regarding the maintenance of the container handling machine;
- in response to receiving the selection, transmitting the first information with a data transmitter in the operating device to a first data receiver in a first separate additional screen, the first additional screen being arranged on the first sub-assembly of the container handling machine;
- in response to receiving the selection, transmitting the second information with the data transmitter in the operating device to a second data receiver in a second separate additional screen, the second additional screen being arranged on the second sub-assembly of the container handling machine, different from the first sub-assembly of the container handling machine;
- in response to receiving the first information and without displaying the second information, displaying the first information received with the first data receiver on the first additional screen, wherein the first information comprises individual information of the first sub-assembly and is displayed at the first sub-assembly of the container handling machine with the first additional screen;
- and
- in response to receiving the second information and without displaying the first information, displaying the second information received with the second data receiver on the second additional screen, wherein the second information comprises individual information of the second sub-assembly and is displayed at the second sub-assembly of the container handling machine with the second additional screen.
