Abstract
To enable an intuitive configuration of a control (S) or of a total plant, a control (S) for the safe controlling of at least one machine (R, St) is provided comprising a control module (SM) for generating output signals in dependence on input signals, wherein the input signals are provided by at least one connected signal generator and the output signals are communicated to the at least one machine (R, St), and wherein the control module (SM) has a display (D, D1) for displaying information of the control (S), said display being movably supported in the control module (SM) such that a moving of the display (D), D1) with respect to the control module (SM) corresponds to an input to the control (S).

A control for the safe controlling of at least one machine, the control comprising
- a control module for generating output signals in dependence on input signals, wherein the input signals are provided by at least one connected signal generator and the output signals are communicated to the at least one machine;
- and
- wherein the control module has a display for displaying information of the control;
- wherein the display is movably supported in the control module such that a moving of the display with respect to the control module corresponds to an input to the control;
- wherein the information of the control displayed on the display digitally exactly reproduces the physical input and output connectors and their different assignments;
- and wherein the input to the control represents a selection and a confirmation of the information displayed.
