The invention also relates to a molding machine comprising said control device.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a control device for a molding machine and to a molding machine, in particular an injection molding machine, having such a control device.
Background
The operating device of a generic control device has a screen on which an operating field can be shown. These operation areas can be operated via an input device. Touch-sensitive screen surfaces, pointing devices (so-called "mice"), trackballs or the like can be used as input means. The input device enables the operating field to be activated by direct touch of the operating field or by manipulation of a pointing and enter key on the operating field.
The operating zones can in principle be divided into two categories:
a navigation operation area: navigation control fields are control fields by means of which navigation can be performed in a menu system of the control device. The screen content shown is transformed by touching these operating fields. Without introducing, interrupting or affecting the drive motion or function of the molding machine. I.e. not to actuate the actuators of the molding machine.
A control operation area: control operating zones are operating zones by means of which the actuators of the molding machine are controlled and thus the drive motions or functions of the molding machine are introduced, interrupted or influenced. By touching these operating fields, for example, a drive movement or function of the molding machine is initiated and is held actuated until the operating fields are released again. The screen content remains substantially unchanged.
Each actuator may be associated with a respective drive/function of the molding machine or with a group of drives/functions of the molding machine. The drive can be designed as a hydraulic or pneumatic valve, as a pump, as an electric motor or the like. The function may be, for example, the temperature regulation of the molding machine, the implementation of a measurement or the like.
By activating the control actuation area, the associated actuator is controlled by the control unit, i.e. the drive movement or function is started, stopped or otherwise influenced.
In the known solutions, the control operating area is provided in a structure in which: the structure does not have a link to a sequence of individual drive motions or functions within the production cycle. Although the arrangement of the operating zones mostly follows logic that is not always understandable or predictable to the user. However, the arrangement of the operating zones remains unchanged when the sequence of driving movements or functions changes.
A disadvantage of these known solutions is that for the actual execution of the drive movement or function, a time-consuming and unpleasant navigation procedure by means of a navigation operating field is required and thus valuable production time of the molding machine is wasted.
For example, a targeted introduction of the axial movement of the molding machine is not possible without doubt. If the sequence is not known, it is often the case for less skilled operators that the sequence can only be studied by learning one or more display masks that define the sequence. This drawback also occurs in the sequences of the individual driving movements or functions that are changed according to the product being manufactured, by operators who are absolutely experienced and who believe the usual sequences of driving movements or functions.
If the sequence is known, the control surfaces assigned to the next actuator must be calculated by the user and displayed on the screen before the actuator can be actuated if necessary.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a control device for a molding machine and a molding machine in which the disadvantages discussed above do not occur.
This object is achieved by a control device according to the features described below and a molding machine according to the features described below. The control device for a molding machine according to the invention comprises an electronic computing unit configured to provide a user with operating means and to control the actuators of the molding machine according to the user's desires, wherein the operating means comprise: a screen on which a plurality of operating fields can be displayed, wherein some of the operating fields are configured as navigation operating fields, by means of which navigation in a menu system of the operating unit is possible, and some of the operating fields are configured as control operating fields, by means of which control of the individual drive movements or functions of the molding machine via the actuators is possible; an input device for operating the operation area by a user; and the electronic computing unit is designed to carry out, in accordance with the user's actuation of the respective control actuation area, the drive movements or functions of the production cycle that follow one another in succession according to the stored sequence via the associated actuators; the control device is characterized in that the electronic computing unit is designed to arrange the control operator area on the screen according to a stored sequence of production cycles for the respective drive motions or functions of the production cycles, and to adapt the arrangement of the control operator area on the screen in the event of a change in the sequence of drive motions or functions.
The screen of the operating device of the control device shows a control operating field according to the sequence of the respective drive movements or functions in the determined production cycle. If the sequence of the driving movements or functions changes, the sequence of the operating zones is adapted as well. The arrangement of the control panel therefore takes place automatically in a logically understandable and user-predictable manner.
This occurs, for example, in the following manner: the arrangement of the control operator control fields on the screen takes place in a sequence corresponding to the sequence of the drive movements or functions of the production cycle according to the stored process sequence. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the arrangement of the control operator control fields on the screen takes place in a sequence which is opposite to the sequence of the individual drive movements or functions of the production cycle according to the stored program.
As a possible proposal for the display, the control operator areas are shown in a table. The control operator zones of the respective drive motions or functions carried out in succession are implemented, for example, in a row. If necessary, the arrangement of the control operator zones of the simultaneous drive movements or functions is implemented in one row. Of course, the arrangement may be implemented in reverse.
The invention is not limited to the defined geometrical way of the arrangement of the control operation zones (linear right to left or left to right, circular, etc.).
A common control operating region can be assigned to a group of simultaneous actuating movements or functions. In the event of a touch of the common control operating field, all actuators of the group are actuated.
In general terms, it is of course possible (with safety considerations or avoidance of logical impossibility) that the user does not touch all displayed control fields and therefore also does not actuate all associated actuators.
Preferably, the input device is designed as a touch-sensitive surface of a screen or as a pointing device.
The molding machine, in particular an injection molding machine, according to the invention has a control device according to the invention.
