Abstract: The invention relates to a method for tolerating the breakdown and/or decoupling of at least one network node in a communication network used for controlling and/or adjusting the movement of a plurality of machine parts, for example the rotation bodies in a printing machines, machine tools and other production machines, wherein the network is operated according to a closed single or multiple ring structure, in which each node communicates with the transmitter or the port of a first adjacent node by means of a receiver or a first port and with the receiver or the port of a second adjacent network node by means of a transmitter or a second port, the closed ring structure is preserved in the case of the breakdown or decoupling of at least one node, at least one network node is coupled to the network by means of a data path switching device which is actuated, in the case of the breakdown or decoupling of said node, in such a way that the communicating nodes, which exist in the network and are arranged next to eac

Abstract: Method for the synchronization of one or more drives of a folding unit of a printing press that processes weblike objects with additional drives of the printing press, in that these first drives are synchronized in a common communication link (Sercos ring) on a common command axis, wherein one or more second drives are operated in the printing press outside of the communication link (Sercos ring), each of which is provided with a transmitter input and synchronized on the command axis of the communication link (Sercos ring) such that position transmitter and/or velocity transmitter and/or acceleration transmitter signals are generated depending on synchronous setpoint values of the command axis in the communication link (Sercos ring) and furnished as setpoints to the respective transmitter inputs of the second drive or drives.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer network for configuration, installation, monitoring, error-diagnosis and/or analysis of several physical technical processes, in particular electrical drive processes, which occur under the control, regulation and/or monitoring of several process computer nodes, connected by means of at least one common communication system to at least one diagnosis computer node, in which one or several configuration, monitoring and diagnosis services and/or functions are implemented, provided for the processes and/or the process computer nodes and/or the data processing processes running therein, whereby the common communication system is achieved by means of the Ethernet, or a similar asynchronous and/or bus or communication system working with a stochastic access method.

Abstract: An electrical drive system for the synchronized adjustment of rotatable axles or linearly movable functional parts in particular for printing machines, in terms of their position, speed or acceleration. Drive units are controlled using computer assistance and are connected to one or more functional parts for their adjustment. A plurality of drive networks, which each have a plurality of the drive units as network nodes, are allocated to some or a group of the functional parts. Inside at least one of the drive networks, its nodes or drive units are arranged in accordance with the master/slave principle and are respectively connected to one another in a ring structure through communication channels and/or a communication system. At least one node of a drive network is coupled in a ring structure with one node of another drive network, likewise in accordance with the master/slave principle, through inter-communication channels and/or an inter-communication system or network.
