Claims13
A machine (1), comprising an error recognition/information unit (2) and at least one output (3), the error recognition/information unit (2) is configured to output an information code (7) at the output (3) on occurrence of an error or other information requirement during operation of the machine (1), an output unit (4) configured to output a prescribed number of pictographic, audible, or pictographic and audible information items, an actuation unit (5) configured to actuate the output unit (4) to output a desired one of the pictographics audible, or pictographic and audible information item from the prescribed number of pictographic, audible, or pictographic and audible information items on the basis of an actuation command (6), an association between the information codes (7) and actuation commands (6) is provided in a database (8) that is readable by the actuation unit (5), and the actuation unit (5) is configured to read one of the information codes (7) from the output (3) and to execute an actuation command (6) associated with a read one of the information codes (7).
A method for diagnosis for a machine (1), comprising:
- automatically generating an information code (7) on occurrence of an error or another information requirement, automatically converting the information code (7) into an actuation command (6) for an actuation unit (5) using an association between information codes (7) and actuation commands (6) that is kept in an electronically readable database (8), and the actuation unit (5) using the actuation command (6) to output a pictographic information item from a prescribed number of pictographic, audible or pictographic and audible information items.
