Abstract
A method of controlling an industrial process by a programmable process control has the steps of taking data in form of resulting values which are decisive for the process, storing the data in a storage of a programmable process control, during starting a control program reading pre-defined configuration data which are stored in a storage in the control and connected with a control program, based on the configuration data selecting a subset of the resulting values adapted to a resulting value storage available in the control, and subsequently storing it in this storage.
Claims9
A method of controlling an industrial screwing process by a programmable screwing process control, comprising the steps of taking data in form of resulting values corresponding to screwing data, which are decisive for the industrial screwing process;
- storing the data in a storage of a programmable process control;
- during starting a control program reading predefined configuration data, said configuration data containing information as to types of resulting values that are stored in the control program in a resulting value storage, wherein said configuration data are stored in a storage in the programmable screwing process control and connected with the control program;
- based on the configuration data selecting a subset of the resulting values adapted to the resulting value storage available in the programmable process screwing control, wherein said resulting value storage is configured as a stack or ring storage depending on the industrial screwing process;
- and subsequently storing the subset of the resulting values in the stack or ring storage.
An apparatus for implementing a method including the steps of taking data in form of resulting values which are decisive for the method, storing the data in a storage of a programmable process control, during starting a control program reading pre-defined configuration data said configuration data containing information as to types of resulting values that are stored in the control program in a resulting value storage, wherein said configuration data are stored in a storage in the programmable process control and connected with a control program;
- based on the configuration data selecting a subset of the resulting values adapted to a resulting value storage available in the programmable process control, and subsequently storing the subset of the resulting values in the storage, the apparatus comprising a process control;
- at least one operating device connected with said process control through an element selected from the group consisting of a communication interface and a bus system, said process control having a storage which contains configuration data which are changeable via said operating device by an operation program provided therefore, and wherein said programmable process control is a screw control.
