## Abstract

The invention relates to a module for reproducing a transmitter signal (xactE). A control device (1) is coupled to a driving device (4a) for controlling a machine while being coupled to the module (5, 5′) via a data bus (7) for exchanging data. A reproduced transmitter signal (xactEn) is determined from a reference value (xdes) that is predefined by the control device with the aid of the module (5, 5′). The module (5, 5′) is logically coupled to the control device (1) via the data bus (7) in such a way that the module (5, 5′) is projected in the same way as the driving device (4a) from the perspective of the control device (1). The inventive module (5, 5′) for reproducing a transmitter signal (xactE) thus makes it possible to project, start, and adjust the dynamics of the machine in a simple manner.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A control system for controlling a machine, comprising:
a module for reproducing a transmitter signal;
a drive device;
a control device for controlling the machine, wherein the control device interprets a configuration of the module and a configuration of the drive device in an identical manner;
a first position regulating device within the control device;
a second position regulating device within the control device;
a data bus connecting the drive device and the control device to transmit a first desired value from the first position regulating device to the drive device and to transmit a first actual value from the drive device to the first position regulating device, wherein the first desired value is based upon a guide value predefined by the control device;
a transmitter coupled to the drive device and to the machine;
a data bus connecting the module and the control device and configured to transmit a second desired value from the second position regulating device to the module, wherein the module determines a reproduced transmitter signal from the second desired value, which is based upon the guide value, wherein the determination is based upon a simulation of a control characteristic of a machine axle, and to transmit a second actual value, based upon the determined value, from the module to the second position regulating device; and
a further control device connected to the module to receive a value based upon the second actual value.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The module of claim 1, wherein the module is directly coupled to the control device by the data bus.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The module of claim 1, wherein the module is coupled to the control device by the data bus via an additional drive device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The module of claim 1, wherein the module is logically coupled as an actuator.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The module of claim 1, wherein the data bus is implemented as a Profibus.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The module of claim 1, wherein control device interprets the reproduced transmitter signal as being regulated and as having dynamical properties identical to those of a machine axle that is controlled by the control device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The control system of claim 1, wherein the machine comprises a machine tool, a production machine or a robot.
