Abstract: An arrangement for printing machine plate cylinder adjustment to zero position includes an evaluation circuit which is interposed between a potentiometer which issues an electrical signal representative of the instantaneous position of an adjustment transmission driven by a motor, and motor protection devices for the two senses of rotation of the motor. The evaluation circuit is operative for generating respective control signals for a right-hand end position, for a left-hand end position, for a right-hand switching point, and for a left-hand switching point.

Abstract: An arrangement for printing machine plate cylinder adjustment to zero position includes an evaluation circuit which is interposed between a potentiometer which issues an electrical signal representative of the instantaneous position of an adjustment transmission driven by a motor, and motor protection devices for the two senses of rotation of the motor. The evaluation circuit includes an A/D converter unit which is connected at its input side with the potentiometer and at its output side via at least one equivalence circuit and a flip-flop with respective AND-gates which are arranged ahead of the motor protection devices and are also connected at their inputs directly to an output of the A/D converter unit, and at least one additional AND-gate which is connected via at least one up-counter with the equivalence circuit.
