• a further advantage is that starting from the overall documentation thus formed of the complex device by providing an interface, in particular a remote interrogation interface, it is possible in a simple manner for the manufacturer of the complex device to query the current assembly state with regard to the components and parts of the complex device and so the operator of the complex device, eg. B. the injection molding machines by means of further information, for example, during operation and / or repair can be on the side. This avoids the risk that the operator of the complex device and the manufacturer of this device assume a different device state.
• both the components and the parts only have identification information which is dependent on an identification Direction of the complex device can be read.
