Abstract: A data processing system and device for a cohesive technical process are disclosed. The data processing system includes at least one processing station for processing at least one product with an associated specific data record in which product features and/or process information for the product are maintained. The processing station may also include associated data and product buffers. The product associated data record may be provided in a decentralized manner at the processing station during the technical process and can be passed-on to a further processing station. The processing station further comprises data record storage locations that may be used dynamically. The data record for a product may be dynamically matched to a data record length required from a process sequence.

Abstract: The invention relates to a data processing system and a data processing device for a cohesive technical process, which has at least one processing station (BS1 to BS21) for an initial product or end product of the process, with each initial product or end product of the process having an associated specific data record (D1 to D23), in which case features and/or process information for the initial products or end products can be administered in at least one respective data record (D1 to D23), and with the processing station (BS1 to BS21) having an associated upstream or downstream product buffer (PP1 to PP4). At least one product-associated data record (D1 to D23) can be passed on in time with the processing clock cycle (T) to the respective processing station (BS1 to BS21), and synchronized to the product (P1 to P15) to the following processing station (BS1 to BS21).

Abstract: A system for automating the control and regulation of machines and systems in the plastics industry, in particular for blow molding machines, having programmable logic controllers (PLC), via which control and regulation functions of the machines and systems can be implemented as desired. The programmable logic controllers (PLC) have at least one operating and monitoring device and a local bus (user platform), and are further provided with digital technology blocks (10) which simulate individual electric circuit components and which can be used to implement the desired control and regulation functions in a modular fashion. The digital technology blocks (10) are connected to one another and to the user platform via data interfaces.
