A method for controlling a machine block comprising a blow-moulding machine for producing bottles and comprising a filler for filling a liquid product into bottles, and a corresponding machine block. Accordingly, the blow-moulding machine comprises an electronic blow-moulding machine controller and an even number of circulating blow-moulding stations, and the filler comprises an electronic filler controller and an even number of circulating filling stations. Since the blow-moulding machine controller specifies a division selection, and the filler controller automatically selects, on the basis of the division selection, one of several filler operating modes all of the machine controllers in the region of the machine block can be instructed in a superordinate manner by the blow-moulding machine controller to automatically adjust the respective operating mode.
Method for controlling a machine block with a blow molding machine for producing bottles and a filler for filling a liquid product into said bottles, where said blow molding machine comprises an electronic blow molding machine control device and an even number of revolving blowing stations, and said filler comprises an electronic filler control device and an even number of revolving filling stations, where said blow molding machine control device specifies a division selection that determines whether said bottles are produced in all blowing stations or only in those with an uneven division number or only in those with an even division number, and where said filler control device selects in an automated manner and based on said division selection one of several filler modes of operation which differ with regard to a loading of said filling stations with an uneven and/or even division number and/or whether a relative transport speed of said filler is halved with regard to said blow molding machine.
