摘要:
A method and unit (3) for changing the configuration of an automatic machine (1), whereby a user selects a desired end configuration (C2) by means of a selection device (6), and a display device (5) then displays an orderly list (11) of all and only the operations to be performed on the machine (1) to convert the machine (1) from a current start configuration (C1) to the desired end configuration (C2); the list (14) is arranged according to the sequence in which the operations are performed, and for each operation are displayed the state (16) of at least one respective operating value (VF) in the start configuration (C1), and the state (17) of the same operating value (VF) in the end configuration (C2).
摘要:
An automatic cigarette processing machine (1) having a control unit (32) and a number of successive work stations (9), each having a respective number of operating devices (10); for each work station (9), the control unit (32) has at least one respective controller (33) directly connected to the work station (9) and for controlling all the operating devices (10) at the work station (9) substantially independently of the other controllers (33).
摘要:
A method and unit for controlling an automatic machine (1) having a number of operating devices located along a production line for producing a succession of articles (2); at least one operating device (10) having an adjustable work member, which operates in a repetitive work cycle and can be set to a number of different operating configurations to adjust the way in which it interacts with the production process of the articles (2); upon a command being received during normal operation of the automatic machine (1), the operating configuration of the adjustable work member is adjusted as the adjustable work member performs a work cycle to process an article (2).

摘要:
Production plant featuring automatic making and packing machines (2), each of which has a relevant control unit (3); a collection computer (9) awaits receipt of information packages (P) transmitted independently and asynchronously by the control units over a first communication network (5; 8); and the collection computer (9) organizes and processes the information packages (P) received from the control units (3) to generate overall data (D) accessible over a second communication network (8), with respect to which the collection computer (9) acts as a server.
