Abstract: A labeling machine and a method for labeling containers are provided. The labeling machine comprises at least one a labeling module for labeling containers with a label, and a connection device for connecting a labeling module to an electric current line with which electric current can be supplied to the labeling module for operating the labeling module, wherein the connection device it configured such that a data link for transmitting a data signal between the labeling module and the labeling machine is realized via the connection for the electric current line. Alternatively, it is possible, as well, to configure the connection device for transmitting in non-contact a data signal between the labeling module and the labeling machine.

Abstract: A device and a method, in particular for labeling containers, in particular bottles, having a corresponding conveyor device, several equipment units, in particular labeling units, and a controller as well as a control console for controlling certain unit functions. To ensure reliable operation of the device, the control console is arranged to be variable in position and at least one position detector is provided, whereby the controller enables or blocks certain functions in a safety-oriented manner as a function of the position of the control console.

Abstract: A device for storing articles with two conveyor tracks that can be driven in opposite directions and a transfer mechanism that can be moved along the conveyor tracks for transferring the articles between the two conveyor tracks // with this device at least one functional control unit that monitors the device is provided. This significantly improves the possibility of detecting damage and trouble and prevents serious consequences, damages and downtime.

Abstract: Device, method and system for displaying data of a machine control system. Status data for at least one element of the system, which represent at least one physical state variable, are received. The status data, which are received for the element, are represented in a circuit diagram which displays, at least for the element, the electrical/physical connection of the element in the system.
