Labelling machine for labelling containers, having at least one docking station for a label-ling apparatus, and a machine control system, wherein the docking station comprises at least one network access for establishing a network connection between the machine control system and a docked labelling apparatus, wherein the network connection is de-signed to transmit security-relevant data and/or time-critical data, and wherein the net-work access is connected to a manageable Ethernet network switch of the machine control system with a DHCP server, wherein the DHCP server is adapted to assign a pre-set IP address determined by the DHCP server to a labelling apparatus connected to the network access.
A labelling machine for labelling containers, having at least one docking station for a labelling apparatus and a machine control system, wherein the docking station comprises at least one network access for establishing a network connection between the machine control system and a docked labelling apparatus, wherein the network connection is adapted to transmit security-relevant data and/or time-critical data, and wherein the network access is connected to a manageable Ethernet network switch of the machine control system with a DHCP server, wherein the DHCP server is adapted to assign a preset IP address determined by the DHCP server to the labelling apparatus connected to the network access.
A method for establishing a network connection for transmitting security-relevant data and/or time-critical data between a labelling machine and a labelling apparatus, wherein the labelling machine comprises at least one docking station for the labelling apparatus and a machine control system, wherein the docking station comprises at least one network access with which the network connection is established between the machine control system and the docked labelling apparatus, wherein the network connection is adapted for transmitting the security-relevant data and/or time-critical data, and wherein the network access is connected to a manageable Ethernet network switch of the machine control system with a DHCP server, wherein the DHCP server assigns a preset IP address determined by the DHCP server to a labelling apparatus connected to the network access.
