A control system for a production system, comprising:

• a main computer connected via a data connection with at least one client computer on which a respective browser is installed and executable;
• a control panel library module installed and executable at the main computer and which generates and provides a control panel for the production system, said control panel being transmitted as a markup language file from the main computer to the respective browser and executed in the browser to present said control panel;
• a web user interface installed and executed on the main computer for transmitting the markup language file from the main computer to the at least one client computer;
• the browser executing the control panel so that a ticket request is made to the web user interface;
• the web user interface upon the ticket request checking whether it is authorized to assign a session ticket to the browser, and whether the session ticket is available, and if both are the case then the web user interface assigning the session ticket to the browser making the ticket request;
• a ticket server on the main computer, said ticket server assigning an access ticket that authorizes an input device connected with the main computer to set changes at the production system, the web user interface representing the input device;
• and
• said web user interface, in the check as to whether it is authorized to assign the session ticket, a check is made as to whether it has the access ticket or has received it from the ticket server.

A method for operating a control panel for a production system wherein the production system has a control system that comprises a main computer connected via a data connection with at least one client computer on which a respective browser is installed, comprising the steps of:

• providing a control panel library module on the main computer to generate and provide a control panel for the production system;
• transmitting the control panel as a markup language file from the main computer to the respective browser and executing the control panel in the respective browser to present the control panel;
• transmitting the markup language file from the main computer to the at least one client computer by means of a web user interface installed on the main computer;
• with the control panel executed in the browser a ticket request is made to the web user interface;
• upon the ticket request the web user interface checking whether it is authorized to assign a session ticket to the browser, and whether the session ticket is available, and if both are the case then the web user interface assigning the session ticket to the browser making the ticket request;
• with a ticket server on the main computer, assigning an access ticket that authorizes an input device connected with the main computer to set changes at the production system, the web user interface representing the input device;
• and
• in the check as to whether the web user interface is authorized to assign the session ticket, a check is made as to whether it has the access ticket or has received it from the ticket server.
