Labeling machine, printing machine, inspection machine, and method of commissioning a bus system in such a machine

A printing machine, comprising:

• at least one printing unit for applying at least one printing to a container;
• at least two container receptacles, each of which has a turn table with a turn table direct driving device;
• and
• a bus unit for connecting the at least two container receptacles to a bus of a bus system in order to communicate with at least one component of an additional container handling machine or an additional component of the printing machine;
• wherein the bus unit has a bus input and a bus output which are configured such that the bus unit is connected into the bus system serially relative to an additional bus unit of the bus system in order to start up the bus system;
• and
• wherein the bus unit is configured to activate the bus output when starting up the bus system after the bus unit has received an identification number, which uniquely identifies the bus unit during a communication in the bus system via the bus input.

An inspection machine comprising:

• at least one inspection unit for inspecting a container;
• at least two container receptacles, each of which has a turn table with a turn table direct driving device;
• and
• a bus unit for connecting the at least two container receptacles to a bus of a bus system in order to communicate with at least one component of an additional container handling machine or an additional component of the inspection machine;
• wherein the bus unit has a bus input and a bus output which are configured such that the bus unit is connected into the bus system serially relative to an additional bus unit of the bus system in order to start up the bus system;
• and
• wherein the bus unit is configured to activate the bus output when starting up the bus system after the bus unit has received an identification number, which uniquely identifies the bus unit during a communication in the bus system, via the bus input.

A container treatment plant, comprising:

• at least one machine selected from the group of machines consisting of a labeling machine, a printing machine, and an inspection machine;
• and
• a bus system, to which the at least one machine is connected for communicating via a bus with an additional container treatment machine and/or to which are connected at least two components of the at least one machine and/or to which is connected a control device of the container treatment plant;
• wherein the labeling machine comprises at least one labeling unit for attaching at least one label to a container;
• wherein the printing machine comprises at least one printing unit for applying at least one printing to a container;
• wherein the inspection machine comprises at least one inspection unit for inspecting a container;
• and
• wherein the machine comprises:
• at least two container receptacles, each of which has a turn table with a turn table direct driving device;
• and
• a bus unit for connecting the at least two container receptacles to a bus of a bus system in order to communicate with at least one component of an additional container handling machine or an additional component of the machine;
• wherein the bus unit has a bus input and a bus output which are configured such that the bus unit is connected into the bus system serially relative to an additional bus unit of the bus system in order to start up the bus system;
• and
• wherein the bus unit is configured to activate the bus output when starting up the bus system after the bus unit has received an identification number, which uniquely identifies the bus unit during a communication in the bus system, via the bus input.
