Abstract: A control method for a complex consisting of a plurality of multiaxial handling devices arranged in succession and/or side by side, is provided. A complex consisting of a plurality of multiaxial handling devices, arranged in succession and/or side by side, for the execution of multidimensional working and/or handling movements and consisting of at least one conveyor facility for transporting objects is controlled. The handling devices are provided for picking up, processing and setting down the objects being transported along. The guide value for the multidimensional movement sequence of handling devices is modeled on one or more objects transported along by a conveyor facility as a guide value in a distributed multiaxial system with synchronous operation, such as for example in the case of a printing machine, a paper mill or rolling mill or the like.

Abstract: A method of synchronizing a pickup of a handling device, a computer readable medium and a control device are disclosed. During movement, a pickup of a multi-axis handling device is synchronized with an object to be picked up which is carried along by a conveyor device. Furthermore, the pickup is synchronized with a moving conveyor device in order to put the object down onto the conveyor device. The pickup is synchronized along a computationally-determined polynomial path of at least the 3rd order between a starting point and a destination point.

Abstract: A drive device for an electric motor is provided. The drive device decides based on signals it receives from outside whether it is monitoring an actual value of the electric motor with respect to the adherence to an actual value condition (monitoring operation). During monitoring operation, the drive device causes the motor to be disconnected from a power supply if the actual value does not adhere to the actual value condition. Via a communication connection, the drive device provides a drive control unit with first information, which reveals whether the drive device is in the monitoring operating mode. The drive device provides the drive control unit with second information, which reveals what the actual value condition is. Based on the first information, the drive control unit examines whether the drive device is in the monitoring operating mode. If this is the case, the drive control unit, based on the second information, determines what the actual value condition is.

The respective mechatronic signal flow between the technological objects can be defined on a graphic level by means of connections to which the inputs and the outputs of the technological objects can e joined. Such a graphic mechatronic model substantially facilitates projection of an automation process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a module for reproducing a transmitter signal (xactE). A control device (1) is coupled to a driving device (4a) for controlling a machine while being coupled to the module (5, 5?) via a data bus (7) for exchanging data. A reproduced transmitter signal (xactEn) is determined from a reference value (xdes) that is predefined by the control device with the aid of the module (5, 5?). The module (5, 5?) is logically coupled to the control device (1) via the data bus (7) in such a way that the module (5, 5?) is projected in the same way as the driving device (4a) from the perspective of the control device (1). The inventive module (5, 5?) for reproducing a transmitter signal (xactE) thus makes it possible to project, start, and adjust the dynamics of the machine in a simple manner.

Abstract: There is described a method and a device for positioning an element of a machine. A setpoint position variable is generated, said setpoint position variable is reduced by means of a limiting variable and a modified setpoint position variable which is forwarded as a setpoint variable to a controller for positioning the element is formed in this manner. An expected setpoint position variable is determined from the modified setpoint position variable, the braking distance of the element is determined from the expected setpoint position variable, and a braking process of the element is initiated if the braking distance matches a target position which is reduced by the expected setpoint position variable. An element of a machine can so be positioned with accuracy.
