Abstract
A method for controlling a packaging machine in which at least two operating states of the packaging machine are defined and independent from one another. At least one of a plurality of defined process sequences is allocated to each of the operating states and at least one actuator of the packaging machine is actuated by a process sequence, in order to carry out at least one action. Improved control and maintenance of the machine is made possible by an authorisation for access to an actuator being exclusively and specifically allocated to only one process sequence depending on the operating state.
Claims16
A method for controlling a packaging machine comprising:
- defining at least two operating states of the packaging machine which are independent from one another,
- allocating at least one of a plurality of defined process sequences to each of the operating states and
- actuating at least one operating resource of the packaging machine by a process sequence, in order to carry out at least one action,
- wherein
- an authorisation for access to an operating resource is exclusively allocated to one single process sequence depending on the operating state.
A packaging machine comprising:
- a control device,
- a program memory,
- a plurality of operating resources,
- wherein
- the control device controls an access by a process sequence stored in the program memory to at least one of the operating resource, and
- wherein
- depending on an operating state the control device exclusively grants to only one of the process sequences an access authorisation to an operating resource.
