Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Ansteuern von Rotationsdruckmaschinen und eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens gemäß den Oberbegriffen der Ansprüche 1 und 2.The invention relates to a method for controlling rotary printing machines and a device for carrying out the method according to the preambles of claims 1 and 2.
Durch die DE 35 09 633 A1 ist eine elektronische, transportable Datenspeichereinrichtung für Druckmaschinen bekanntgeworden. Um die im Speichersystem gespeicherten Daten an die Druckmaschine zu übertragen, müssen die Speichereinrichtung und die Vorrichtung zum Kommunizieren in eine genau definierte Lage zueinander gebracht werden, damit über Oktokoppler oder Schallkoppler ein Datenaustausch stattfinden kann.From DE 35 09 633 A1, an electronic, portable data storage device for printing machines has become known. In order to transmit the data stored in the storage system to the printing press, the storage device and the device for communicating must be brought into a precisely defined position in relation to one another so that data can be exchanged via an octocoupler or sound coupler.
Es ist also im Gegensatz zur Erfindung jeweils notwendig, an der Stelle der Druckmaschine, von der die Maschine gesteuert werden soll, eine Speichereinrichtung und eine Vorrichtung zum Kommunizieren anzuordnen. Das bedeutet, daß bei den unübersichtlichen Druckmaschinen, insbesondere bei den Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen, eine Vielzahl von Speichereinrichtungen und Vorrichtungen zum Kommunizieren angebracht werden müssen. Das hat zur Folge, daß aufwendige Verriegelungs- und Sicherheitsschaltungen notwendig sind, um eine sichere Bedienung der Maschine zu gewährleisten.In contrast to the invention, it is therefore necessary in each case to arrange a storage device and a device for communicating at the location of the printing press from which the press is to be controlled. This means that in the confusing printing presses, in particular in the case of web-fed rotary printing presses, a large number of storage devices and devices for communicating must be attached. The consequence of this is that complex locking and safety circuits are necessary to ensure safe operation of the machine.
Aus der EP 01 60 167 A1 ist ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum Steuern ausgewählter Funktionen einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine bekannt, bei der ausgewählte Druckmaschineneinheiten eine eigene Digital-Prozessor-Steuerung haben, die mit einer zentralen Mikroprozessor-Steuerung kommunizieren. Der eingesetzte Kommunikationsdatenbus kann u. a. Daten drahtlos übertragen.EP 01 60 167 A1 discloses a method and a device for controlling selected functions of a web-fed rotary printing press, in which selected printing press units have their own Have digital processor controls that communicate with a central microprocessor control. The communication data bus used can transmit data wirelessly, among other things.
Drahtlose Einrichtungen zum drahtlosen Steuern von Geräten und Apparaten, z. B. Fernsehern, sind seit langem als IR- (Infrarot-) oder Ultraschallsteuerungen bekannt. Mit derartigen Steuerungen, die im wesentlichen aus einem in handlichen transportablen Gehäusen eingebauten Sendern mit einer Mehrzahl von Befehlstasten und einem im Gerät eingebauten Empfänger bestehen. Die Steuerbefehle werden drahtlos vom Sender mittels modulierter IR- bzw. Ultraschallwellen zum Empfänger gesendet. Dort werden sie mittels elektr. Auswerte-Einheiten in O/I-Signale umgewandelt.Wireless devices for wireless control of devices and apparatus, e.g. B. televisions have long been known as IR (infrared) or ultrasonic controls. With such controls, which essentially consist of a transmitter built into a handy portable housing with a plurality of command buttons and a receiver built into the device. The control commands are sent wirelessly from the transmitter to the receiver using modulated IR or ultrasonic waves. There they are electr. Evaluation units converted into O / I signals.
Bei Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen, die 50 m und länger sein können, sind an den einzelnen Maschinenteilen eine große Anzahl von Befehlstastern vorgesehen, mit denen die verschiedensten Kommandos für den Betrieb der Maschine oder einzelner Teile der Maschine gegeben werden können. Diese Taster mußten bisher alle verdrahtet werden, was einen erheblichen Aufwand an Platz in der Maschine und an Kosten für die elektr. Geräte und die Verdrahtung bedeutete. Außerdem konnten aus konstruktiven Gründen oftmals die Befehlsgeräte nicht da plaziert werden, wo sie ergonometrisch günstig wären, so daß eine bequeme Bedienung manchmal nicht möglich ist.In the case of web-fed rotary printing machines, which can be 50 m and longer, a large number of command buttons are provided on the individual machine parts, with which the most varied commands can be given for the operation of the machine or individual parts of the machine. So far, these buttons had to be wired, which requires a considerable amount of space in the machine and costs for the electrical. Devices and the wiring meant. In addition, for design reasons, the command devices could often not be placed where they would be ergonomically favorable, so that convenient operation is sometimes not possible.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens zum drahtlosen Steuern von Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen zu schaffen, mit der es möglich ist, von jeder Stelle der Maschine aus sicher drahtlose Steuerbefehle auszugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a method and a device for performing the method for wireless control of web-fed rotary printing presses, with which it is possible to safely issue wireless control commands from any point on the machine.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Teile der Ansprüche 1 und 2 gelöst.The object is solved by the characterizing parts of claims 1 and 2.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß standortunabhängig, sicher Steuerbefehle ausgesendet werden können. Es können handliche, portable Sendeeinheiten verwendet werden, die leicht an Maschinenteilen vorübergegend angebracht werden können und so die Maschine von Stellen aus leicht bedienbar machen, von denen es bisher nur unbequem möglich war. Der beträchtliche Aufwand für die Verdrahtung der Kommandotaster an der manchmal beträchtlich langen Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine wird erheblich reduziert. Um Fehlsteuerungen zu vermeiden, können die eingebauten Kommandos auf einem Display auf dem Sendergehäuse angezeigt und quittiert werden, bevor die Maschine das Kommando ausführt. Es ist auch möglich die menschliche Stimme zur Kommandogabe zu verwenden.The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that control commands can be transmitted reliably regardless of location. Handy, portable transmitter units can be used, which can easily be attached to machine parts and thus make the machine easy to operate from places where it was previously uncomfortable. The considerable effort for wiring the command buttons on the sometimes considerably long web-fed rotary printing press is considerably reduced. To avoid incorrect controls, the built-in commands can be shown on a display on the transmitter housing and acknowledged before the machine executes the command. It is also possible to use the human voice to issue commands.

Die Einrichtung zum drahtlosen Ansteuern einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine 1 in einem Druckereiraum 2 besteht im Prinzip aus einem handgerechten, portablen Handgerät 5 mit einem Sender 3 in einem Gehäuse 4. Auf einer Bedienungsfläche 6 des Gehäuses 4 sind eine Mehrzahl von Kommandotastern 8 und ein Display 9 zum Anzeigen des soeben gegebenen Kommandos in alphanummerischen Zeichen.The device for wireless control of a web-fed rotary printing press 1 in a printing room 2 basically consists of a hand-held, portable hand-held
Durch Drücken eines Kommandotasters 8 wird im Sender 3 ein vorbestimmtes Signal in Form einer Steuerimpulsfolge erzeugt. Dieses gepulste Signal 7, der aus elektromagnetischen Wellen, Lichtstrahlung, Infrarotstrahlung oder Ultraschallwellen bestehen kann, wird drahtlos an einen Empfänger 11 übertragen. Von Empfänger 11 werden die aufgefangenen Signale 7 verstärkt und einem Decoder 12 zugeführt, der jedes Signal 7 in ein entsprechendes Steuerkommando 13 umwandelt und anschließend einer elektr. Steuereinheit 14 zuführt, die Stellglieder wie Motoren, Ventile usw. aktiviert (Fig. 1).By pressing a
Bei Verwendung einer drahtlosen Ansteuerung bei Maschinen müssen unbeabsichtige Kommandoauslösungen unbedingt ausgeschlossen werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird die drahtlose Kommandogabeeinrichtung wie in Fig. 2 gestaltet.When using wireless control on machines, unintentional triggering of commands must be excluded. For this purpose, the wireless command device is designed as in FIG. 2.
Das Handgerät 5 ist mit einer Spannungsversorgung, z. B. wiederaufladbare Zellen, einem Sender 3, einem Empfänger 11, Kommandotastern 8, einer Decodier- und Vergleicherschaltung 16 und wahlweise auch mit einem Display 9 zur alphanummerischen Anzeige des eingegebenen Kommandos ausgerüstet. Die Decodier- und Vergleicherschaltung 16 erfüllt die Aufgabe in einer kurzen Zeitspanne z. B. 10 msec. die völlige Übereinstimmung von mindestens zwei Signalfolgen 7 (20) und 17 (30) festzustellen und dann eine Quittiersignalfolge 18 zu erzeugen. Mit dem Sender 3 und dem Empfänger 11 des Handgerätes 5 wirkt ein stationäres Sende-und Empfangsteil 21 zusammen, wobei das Empfangsteil 21 mit einem sich selbst zurückstellenden elektr. Speicherteil 22 versehen ist.The
Mit dem Sende- und Empfangsteil 21 wirkt ein elektronische Steuerungseinheit 14 z. B. eine freiprogrammierbare Steuerung zusammen.
Wird einer der Kommandotaster 8 des Handgerätes 5 gedrückt, so sendet der Sender 3 des Handgerätes 5 drahtlos eine dem gegebenen Kommandobefehl zugeordnete Signalfolge 7 aus, die vom Empfänger 23 des Sende- und Empfangsteils 21 empfangen wird, dort in eine elektrische Signalfolge 17 umgewandelt und mittels eines Leiters zum Sendeteil 24 des Sende- und Empfangsteils 21 übertragen wird, dann wieder in eine drahtlose Signalfolge 17.1 umgewandelt und gesendet wird. Gleichzeitig erzeugt der Sender 3 eine vom Informationsinhalt gleiche elektrische Signalfolge 20, die der Decodier- und Vergleicherschaltung 16 zugeführt wird. Die drahtlose Signalfolge 17.1 wird vom Empfänger 11 des Handgeräts 5 in eine entsprechende elektrische Signalfolge 30 umgewandelt und der Decodier- und Vergleicherschaltung 16 zugeführt. Dort werden die elektr. Signalfolgen 20 und 30 miteinander verglichen. Nur wenn vollständige Übereinstimmung beider Signalfolgen 20 und 30 besteht, wird eine Quittierungssignalfolge 25 gebildet und an den Sender 3 im Handgerät 5 abgesetzt, der diese elektrische Quittiersignalfolge 25 in ein drahtlos übertragbare Quittiersignalfolge 18 umwandelt, die vom Empfänger 23 empfangen und in ein elektr. Signal 13, das dem gewünschten Kommando entspricht umgewandelt und über Leitung einem elektronischen Steuerungsteil 14 z. B. einer freiprogrammierbaren Steuerung für den Antrieb einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine zugeführt.With the transmitting and receiving

Die Decodier-, Vergleicher- und Übergabeschaltung 16 kann als Microrechner ausgeführt sein. Um die Systemsicherheit noch weiter zu erhöhen, kann jede der elektronisch oder drahtlos übertragbaren Steuersignalfolgen mittels des Prüfsummenverfahrens kontrolliert werden.The decoding, comparator and
Die drahtlose Verbindung zwischen dem stationären Sende-und Empfangsteil 21 und dem Sender 3 und Empfänger 11 des Handgeräts 5 kann auch verwendet werden um Störungsmeldungen, Sicherheitsfunktionen, Betriebsdaten auf das Display 9 zu übertragen oder akustische Warnsignale auszulösen, oder zur Kupplung von Steuerungsleitrechnern und untergeordneten Steuerungsrechnern benützt werden. Auch ist es möglich, jede Signalfolge mindestens durch den Kommandotaster 8 zweimal auszulösen und erst bei völligen Übereinstimmungen der Information die Quittiersignalfolge 25 auszulösen. Da jede Signalfolge als Informationsgruppe aus Signalen und dazwischen liegenden Signalpausen besteht, können auch diese zur Verifizierung der Signalfolge verwendet werden.The wireless connection between the stationary transmitting and receiving
Die drahtlose Übertragungseinrichtung ermöglicht es auch mittels eines an sich bekannten Sprachanalysesystems die Fernsteuerung einer Druckmaschine verbal über geläufige Befehlswörter wie z. B. "Vorrücken", "Stop", "Lauf" usw. durchzuführen. Die Klangfarbe der Stimme der einzelnen Bedienungspersonen kann dabei ausgenutzt werden für die Zulässigkeit bestimmter Kommandos.The wireless transmission device also makes it possible, by means of a speech analysis system known per se, to remotely control a printing press verbally via common command words such as, for. B. "Advance", "Stop", "Run", etc. to perform. The timbre of the voice of the individual operators can be used to allow certain commands.
Die verbalen Befehle können zum Zwecke der Erhöhung der Übertragungssicherheit in IR-Lichtimpulse umgesetzt werden und umgekehrt. Die Eingabe und Rückmeldung von verbalen Befehlen kann drahtlos oder leitungsgebunden erfolgen. Der Informationsinhalt der Sprache kann durch Modulation, elektromagnetisch oder mittels Induktionsschleifen erfolgen.The verbal commands can be converted into IR light pulses for the purpose of increasing the transmission security and vice versa. Verbal commands can be entered and reported back wirelessly or wired. The information content of the language can be done by modulation, electromagnetic or by means of induction loops.
Die Steuerimpulse können im Empfänger in eine serielle ASCII-Informationskette umgewandelt und einem Steuerrechner der Maschine über Lichtleiter zugeführt werden. Schmalbandige IR-Filter an den Sendern und Empfängern können die Störsicherheit erhöhen. Selbstverständlich kann polarisiertes IR-Licht gesendet und empfangen werden.The control pulses can be converted into a serial ASCII information chain in the receiver and fed to a machine control computer via fiber optics. Narrow-band IR filters on the transmitters and receivers can increase interference immunity. Of course, polarized IR light can be sent and received.
Bei größeren Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen 1 ist es besonders notwendig auch aus abgelegenen Teilen sicher Kommandos geben zu können. Dieses wird erreicht, in dem eine oder mehrere Relaisstationen 26 im Druckereiraum 2 über der Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine 1 aufgehängt werden. Jede Relaisstation 26 besteht aus einem Empfänger und einem mit ihm zusammenwirkenden Sender. Der / die Sender der Relaisstation ist / sind auf das Sende- und Empfangsteil 21 das z. B. auf der Schaltanlage montiert ist, ausgerichtet. Die Kommandogabe erfolgt in der gleichen Weise wie bei Fig. 2 beschrieben, über die Handgeräte 5. Die gleiche Sicherheitsschaltung kann dabei angewendet werden. Die von den Sendern 3 der Handgeräte 5 ausgesandten Impulsfolgen 7 werden entweder direkt auf das Sende- und Empfangsteil 21 oder indirekt über den Umweg über die Relaisstation 26 an das Sende- und Empfangsteil 21 abgestrahlt und von diesem aufgenommen und wie bei Fig. 2 beschrieben verarbeitet. Über je ein Lichtleitkabel 28 und 29 gelangen die IR-Steuerimpulssignalfolgen vom Sende- und Empfangsteil 21 bzw. von der Tastatur 8 eines Bedienungspultes 27 zu einem Lichtleitempfänger 31 in eine Schaltanlage 32 mit einer frei programmierbaren Steuerung 14.In the case of larger web-fed rotary printing presses 1, it is particularly necessary to be able to issue commands reliably even from remote parts.
