Abstract: There is described a control device of a machine, an engineering system and a method for operating said control device. Said control device is used to control and/or regulate the machine and is used to carry out at least one user program which is used to at least perform one function, and said control device comprises a debug function. The functionality of the debug function is limited in large user programs due to the high complexity and the unclearness thereof. According to the invention, in order to improve said function, the user program comprises stop points for the debug function and said stop points can be activated and/or deactivated.

Abstract: Due to the diversity of the requirements to be met for controlling the movement of production machines, a system and method based on a range of hardware modules, which are provided with adequate computing capacity, a real-time operating system and specific basic functionality, a network (for example Profibus) for constructing a decentralized system with distributed control functionality and also operating and monitoring units with planned interfaces is disclosed. The invention comprises a configurable, distributable and programmable control software system for individually adapting the control solution to the client's requirements, with which the planned control solution is distributed among hardware modules and in which an engineering system used for management, configuration, programming, monitoring, debugging and commissioning.
