Process control system for production of parts with graphical interface

A device for controlling the course of a cyclic process in the production of parts in a tool in a production device with or without subsequent reject separation, comprising:

• a sensor, which is fitted to the tool for detecting measured values during the production process,
• a data processing system comprising a display for reading in and displaying the detected measured values and
• an output element which is connected to the data processing system, wherein during the course of the production process a user can enter into the data processing system one or more target process parameters that are presented on the display in a quantitative graphical relationship simultaneously with the detected measured values, wherein the user can enter the target process parameters into the data processing system on the basis of previous measured values of the cyclical process, wherein at least one evaluation element is provided as a target parameter in a graphic form on the display, which graphic form can be shifted and changed in its size by the input on the display by the user, wherein the previously measured values include a line acquired during the complete formation of an acceptable part in at least one previous process cycle, the measured values represented by at least a position and size of the line, the target process parameters represented by at least a position and size of at least one line, wherein the target process parameters pertain to parameters of the production process rather than parameters of the parts produced by the process, and an output quantity can be ascertained by the data processing system on the basis of a quantitative analysis of the target process parameters and the detected measured values, said output quantity being able to be transferred by means of the output element to the production device for the purpose of controlling the course of the process, wherein at least one of the target process parameters can be entered by the user with the display in an analogue manner, and wherein the analogue manner by which the user enters the at least one target process parameter into the data processing system by employing a “drag and drop” operation of an input device of the data processing system.
