Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zu fingerbefähigter Eingabe und Anzeige von Steuerbefehlen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for finger-enabled input and display of control commands according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die EP-A 01 60 167 zeigt eine gattungsgemäße Einrichtung mit einem Microcomputer. Nachteilig ist, daß über die Bedienungsfläche herausragende Schalter, Lampen und Anzeigen vorgesehen sind. Eine Bildschirmdarstellung zur graphischen und numerischen Anzeige und Eingabe von Steuerbefehlen ist nicht vorgesehen.EP-A 01 60 167 shows a generic device with a microcomputer. The disadvantage is that protruding switches, lamps and displays are provided on the control surface. A screen display for graphical and numerical display and input of control commands is not provided.

Aus der US-A 37 60 360 ist fingerdruckbetätigbarer Matrixschalter mit einer Schaltfolie mit aufgedruckter Straßenkarte zu entnehmen, der in einem Fahrzeug eingebaut ist. Durch Fingerdruck auf die Straßenkarte wird ein Signal erzeugt, das drahtlos an eine Empfängerstation gesendet wird und Informationen enthält, wo sich das Fahrzeug befindet. Die Schaltfolien sind austauschbar und weisen Informationsträger zu ihrer automatischen Identifizierung auf.US-A 37 60 360 shows finger-actuated matrix switches with a switching film with a printed road map that is installed in a vehicle. By pressing a finger on the road map, a signal is generated that is sent wirelessly to a receiver station and contains information about where the vehicle is located. The switching foils are interchangeable and have information carriers for their automatic identification.

Eine Schalt-Tastaturkonsole ist aus der DE-A 18 01 696 bekanntgeworden, bei der die Tastaturkonsole aus einem ersten Träger mit Leiterflächen besteht, die sich mit Abstand gegenüberstehen und die Kontaktierung der sich gegenüberliegenden Leiterflächen durch örtlichen Druck auf den flexiblen Träger geschieht.A switching keyboard console has become known from DE-A 18 01 696, in which the keyboard console consists of a first carrier with conductor surfaces which face each other at a distance and the contacting of the opposite conductor surfaces takes place by local pressure on the flexible carrier.

Aus der DE-A 27 23 786 ist eine Datenterminalvorrichtung zu ersehen, die ein Tastenfeld aufweist, das mit einer Schaltermatrix zusammenwirkt. Das Tastenfeld ist austauschbar. Auf einem Display können die eingegebenen Werte angezeigt werden.DE-A 27 23 786 shows a data terminal device which has a keypad which interacts with a switch matrix. The keypad is interchangeable. The entered values can be shown on a display.

Durch die DE-A 32 20 622 ist eine Einrichtung zur Eingabe von Daten zur Überwachung und Steuerung einer Druckmaschine bekannt. Die Dateneingabe erfolgt mittels einer durchsichtigen, druckempfindlichen Schicht, die sich auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung befindet und die Steuersignale an die Druckmaschine weiterleitet. Der Nachteil dieser Einrichtung liegt darin, daß das Dateneingabefeld von der Größe der Anzeigeeinrichtung abhängig ist. Dies bedeutet, daß eine übersichtliche Anordnung bei großen Maschinen mit relativ vielen Funktionsfeldern auf dem zur Anzeige benutzten recht kleinen Bildschirm nicht möglich ist. Außerdem erfolgt das Steuern der Maschine hierarchisch von einem Eröffnungsbild über verschiedene Zwischenbilder bis zu dem gewollten aktuellen Bild, so daß eine relativ lange Zeit vergeht, bis man auf das gewünschte Bild stößt. Abgesehen von dem nötigen Zeitaufwand ist eine gute Kenntnis der Bedienerstruktur erforderlich.DE-A 32 20 622 discloses a device for entering data for monitoring and controlling a printing press. The data is entered by means of a transparent, pressure-sensitive layer, which is located on a display device and forwards the control signals to the printing press. The disadvantage of this device is that the data entry field depends on the size of the display device. This means that a clear arrangement of large machines with a relatively large number of functional fields is not possible on the rather small screen used for the display. In addition, the machine is controlled hierarchically from an opening picture to various intermediate pictures up to the desired current picture, so that a relatively long time passes until the desired picture is encountered. Apart from the time required, a good knowledge of the operator structure is required.

Ungünstig wirkt sich weiterhin aus, daß die Ein-und Ausgabeeinrichtung sehr schmutzantällig ist, d. h. man kann bei einer Verschmutzung der druckempfindlichen Schicht, nicht mehr gut durch diese hindurchsehen, so daß man weder die Funktionsfelder noch die Anzeigen gut erkennen kann und es dadurch leicht zu Fehlbedienungen kommt.A further disadvantage is that the input and output device is very dirty. H. if the pressure-sensitive layer is contaminated, it is no longer possible to see through it so that neither the functional fields nor the displays can be clearly recognized and this can easily lead to incorrect operation.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung zur Eingabe von Daten zur Überwachung und Steuerung einer Druckmaschine zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, möglichst schnell unter Vermeidung langwieriger Bedienerführungen, in eine gewünschte Funktionsebene zu gelangen, von der aus man Kommandos an die elektrische Maschinensteuerung geben kann.The invention has for its object to provide a device for inputting data for monitoring and controlling a printing press, which makes it possible to get to a desired functional level as quickly as possible, avoiding lengthy operator guidance, from which commands are given to the electrical machine control can.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung bestehen darin, daß die Eingabeebene der Eingabekonsole als Digitalisierebene ausgelegt ist, welche wahlweise als ein Digitalisiertableu mit induktiver Ansteuerung oder als manuell bedienbare Digitalisierebene mit Mikrofolientastschaltern (Folientaster) oder durch kapazitive bzw. induktive (Hall-IC) bzw. piezoelektrische Schaltfelder sowie Multilayer-Digitalisierebene mit Widerstandskoordinaten manuell betätigt werden kann, wobei deren Frontseite in vorteilhafter Weise jeweils aus einer leicht auswechselbaren graphisch beliebig gestaltbaren Frontfolie bestehen kann. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Eingabeebene zu verändern bzw. zu erweitern, ohne daß elektromechanische Änderungen vorgenommen werden müssen. Bei einer Multilayer-Digitalisierebene mit Widerstandskoordinaten wird z. B. je nach Berührungspunkt der Eingabeebene ein definierter Widerstand an die X-/Y-Achse als Ausgangsgröße gemeldet.The advantages of the invention are that the input level of the input console is designed as a digitizing level, which can be used either as a digitizing table with inductive control or as a manually operated digitizing level with microfoil pushbuttons (membrane pushbuttons) or through capacitive or inductive (Hall IC) or piezoelectric switch panels and multilayer digitizing level with resistance coordinates can be operated manually, the front side of which can advantageously consist of an easily exchangeable graphically designed front film. This makes it possible to change or expand the input level without having to make electromechanical changes. With a multilayer digitizing level with resistance coordinates, e.g. B. Depending on the point of contact of the input level, a defined resistance to the X / Y axis is reported as the output variable.

Eine Eingabekonsole 1 für eine Druckmaschine weist in seiner geneigten Oberfläche 2 eine rechteckige Vertiefung 3 auf, deren Grundfläche 4 horizontal angeordnet ist. Die Grundfläche 4 kann jedoch auch bedienerfreundlich geneigt sein. Die Grundfläche 4 dient als Auflage für eine als Digitalisiertableau ausgeführte Kontaktebene 6. Auf der Kontaktebene 6 ist beliebig mit einer oder mehreren Kommandofolien 7 austauschbar eine Kommandofolie 8 als Eingabefeld 9 angeordnet. Oberhalb des Eingabefeldes 9 ist bequem ablesbar ein mit der Kontaktebene 6 über einen Leitstandrechner 14 gekoppelter Bildschirm 12 vorgesehen. Der Austausch der Kommandofolien 7, 8 kann z. B. wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, durch Umblättern oder durch Einschieben in einen Rahmen (nicht dargestellt) erfolgen.An input console 1 for a printing press has in its inclined surface 2 a rectangular depression 3, the base 4 of which is arranged horizontally. The base 4 can each but also inclined to be user-friendly. The base area 4 serves as a support for a contact level 6 designed as a digitizing tableau. A command sheet 8 is interchangeably arranged as an input field 9 on the contact level 6 with one or more command foils 7. Above the input field 9, a screen 12 coupled to the contact level 6 via a control center computer 14 is provided in a conveniently readable manner. The exchange of the command foils 7, 8 can, for. B. as shown in Fig. 1, by turning pages or by pushing into a frame (not shown).

Die Kontaktebene 6 ist als Schaltermatrix ausgeführt, und in viele kleine (z. B. 672) Kontaktfelder 13 unterteilt. Die Kontaktfelder 13 sind mit einer Verarbeitungslogik (Interface) des Leitstandrechners 14 mittels Kontaktleitungen 24 (Fig. 5) "hardware"-mäßig verbunden. Die Ansteuerung der Verarbeitungslogik 14 kann binär oder auf andere Weise codiert erfolgen. Die Unterteilung der Kontaktebene 6 in viele Kontaktfelder 13 ermöglicht eine Änderung bzw. Erweiterung von Kommandofeldern 16 auf dem Eingabefeld 9, ohne daß elektromechanische Änderungen vorgenommen werden müßten. Es wird lediglich das Codierungsprogramm der Verarbeitungslogik 14 "software"-mäßig umcodiert. Die Kommandofelder 16 sind entsprechend gekennzeichnet auf die Kommandofolie 8 aufgedruckt.The contact level 6 is designed as a switch matrix and divided into many small (eg 672) contact fields 13. The contact fields 13 are connected to a processing logic (interface) of the control center computer 14 by means of contact lines 24 (FIG. 5) in terms of “hardware”. The control of the processing logic 14 can be binary or coded in some other way. The subdivision of the contact level 6 into many contact fields 13 enables a change or extension of command fields 16 on the input field 9 without having to make any electromechanical changes. Only the coding program of the processing logic 14 is transcoded in terms of "software". The command fields 16 are marked accordingly on the command film 8.

Nach Auflage der Kommandofolie 8 auf die Kontaktebene 6 sind jedem Kommandofeld 16 je nach Größe ein oder mehrere Kontaktfelder 13 zugeordnet. Die weitere Zuordnung zu den Stellmitteln 11 der Druckmaschine jedes der von den Kontaktfeldern 13 zum Leitstandrechner 14 zugeführten Signale erfolgt "software"-mäßig. Da man die einzelnen Eingabefunktionen in Abhängigkeit von der "Software" beliebig anordnen kann, ergeben sich Anordnungsmöglichkeiten, die nur durch die verfügbare Fläche des Eingabefeldes 9 bzw. der Kontaktebene 6 oder durch die Anzahl der Kontaktfelder 13 begrenzt sind. Um die Anzahl der Kommandofelder 16 beliebig erhöhen zu können, kann die Kommandofolie 8 z. B. gegen weitere Kommandofolien 7 ausgetauscht werden (Fig. 3). Eine Zuordnung der Kontaktfelder 13 zu der neuen Lage der Kommandofelder 16 erfolgt ebenfalls "software"-mäßig. Eine Erkennung der neuen Kommandofolie 7 erfolgt automatisch durch entsprechende Informationsträger 17 (z. B. Barcode) auf der Kommandofolie 7, 8 oder durch außerhalb der Kommandofolie 7, 8 stationär angeordnete Eingabetasten 18. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich die Kommandofolie 7, 8 auf der Kontaktebene 6 zu befestigen (z. B. aufzukleben) und jeweils einen gemeinsamen Austausch der Kommandofolie 7, 8 zusammen mit der Eingabeebene 6 als Austauschmodul 19; 20 vorzunehmen. Der Anschluß des Austauschmoduls 19; 20 an die Verarbeitungslogik 9 kann z. B. als Steckerleiste 21 ausgeführt sein (Fig. 4). Das Austauschmodul 19; 20 kann auch selbst eine Intelligenz beinhalten, die die Funktionen des Eingabefeldes 9 dem Leitstandrechner 14 zuordnet. In diesem Fall braucht die Zuordnungs-"Software" des Leitstandrechners 14 nicht geändert zu werden.After the command foil 8 has been placed on the contact level 6, one or more contact fields 13 are assigned to each command field 16, depending on the size. The further assignment to the actuating means 11 of the printing press of each of the signals fed from the contact fields 13 to the control center computer 14 is done in a "software" manner. Since the individual input functions can be arranged as desired depending on the "software", there are arrangement options which are only limited by the available area of the input field 9 or the contact level 6 or by the number of contact fields 13. In order to be able to increase the number of command fields 16 as desired, the command film 8 can, for. B. can be exchanged for other command foils 7 (Fig. 3). An assignment of the contact fields 13 to the new position of the command fields 16 is also carried out "software". The new command film 7 is recognized automatically by corresponding information carriers 17 (e.g. barcode) on the command film 7, 8 or by input keys 18 arranged stationary outside the command film 7, 8. Of course, it is also possible to use the command film 7, 8 on the To attach contact level 6 (for example by gluing) and in each case a joint exchange of command foil 7, 8 together with input level 6 as exchange module 19; 20 to make. The connection of the exchange module 19; 20 to the processing logic 9 can e.g. B. be designed as a connector 21 (Fig. 4). The exchange module 19; 20 can also itself contain intelligence that assigns the functions of the input field 9 to the control center computer 14. In this case, the assignment "software" of the control center computer 14 need not be changed.

Eine Betätigung der Kontaktfelder 13 erfolgt durch die Kommandofolie 7, 8 hindurch, z. B. mittels eines Fingers oder Stiftes.The contact fields 13 are actuated through the command film 7, 8, for. B. using a finger or pen.

Fig. 5 zeigt den mechanischen Aufbau der Kontaktfelder 13 der Kontaktebene 6. Die Kontaktebene 6 besteht aus einer unteren Leiterfolie 22 mit darauf angeordneten Schaltelementen 23 und zugehörigen Kontaktleitungen 24, die die Verbindung zur nachgeschalteten Verarbeitungslogik 14 (Interface) herstellen. Auf der Leiterfolie 22 ist (z. B. mittels Klebstoffes) eine Abstandsfolie 26 befestigt, die im Bereich der Schaltelemente 23 jeweils einen Durchbruch 27 aufweist. Auf der Abstandsfolie 26 ist eine weitere Trägerfolie 28 befestigt, die im Bereich der Durchbrüche 27 und Schaltelemente 23 jeweils ein Kontaktgitter 29 aufweist. Bei Betätigung eines auf der Kommandofolie 8 abgebildeten Kommandofeldes 16 wird das jeweils darunterliegende Kontaktgitter 29 in Berührung mit dem jeweils darunter im Abstand angeordneten Schaltelement 23 gebracht und ein elektrisches Signal ausgelöst, das mittels der Kontaktleitungen 24 zur Verarbeitungslogik 14 gelangt. Selbstverständlich können die einzelnen Kontaktfelder 13 der Kontaktebene 6 auch als kapazitive, induktive oder piezoelektrische Schaltelemente ausgeführt werden.5 shows the mechanical structure of the contact fields 13 of the contact plane 6. The contact plane 6 consists of a lower conductor foil 22 with switching elements 23 arranged thereon and associated contact lines 24 which establish the connection to the downstream processing logic 14 (interface). A spacer film 26 is fastened (for example by means of an adhesive) to the conductor film 22, each of which has an opening 27 in the area of the switching elements 23. A further carrier film 28 is fastened on the spacer film 26, each of which has a contact grid 29 in the area of the openings 27 and switching elements 23. When a command field 16 depicted on the command foil 8 is actuated, the contact grid 29 below it is brought into contact with the switching element 23, which is arranged at a distance below it, and an electrical signal is triggered, which reaches the processing logic 14 via the contact lines 24. Of course, the individual contact fields 13 of the contact plane 6 can also be designed as capacitive, inductive or piezoelectric switching elements.

Fig. 6 zeigt beispielhaft eine Kommandofelderanordnung auf einer Kommandofolie 31. Die Kommandofelder 32, 33 im oberen Drittel des Eingabefeldes 9 dienen z. B. zur Anwahl der verschiedenen Druckeinheiten, Falzapparate, Trockner oder anderer Peripheriegeräte. Bei z. B. einer Betätigung des Kommandofeldes 33 zur Anwahl einer zweiten Druckeinheit wird auf dem Bildschirm 12 ein Bild 39 (Fig. 7) mit Istwerten der verschiedenen Registereinstellsystemen der zweiten Druckeinheit angezeigt. Die Anzeige erfolgt sowohl graphisch 41, als auch numerisch 42. Die frei zuordenbaren Kommandofelder F1 - F12 im mittleren Drittel des Eingabefeldes 9 dienen zur gewünschten Funktionsanwahl gemäß den Funktionsanzeigen 35 am unteren Bildrand des Bildschirms 12.6 shows an example of a command field arrangement on a command film 31. The command fields 32, 33 in the upper third of the input field 9 are used, for. B. to select the various printing units, folders, dryers or other peripheral devices. At z. For example, when the command field 33 is actuated to select a second printing unit, an image 39 (FIG. 7) with actual values of the various register setting systems of the second printing unit is displayed on the screen 12. The display is carried out both graphically 41 and numerically 42. The freely assignable command fields F1-F12 in the middle third of the input field 9 serve for the desired function selection according to the function displays 35 at the bottom of the screen 12.

Um z. B. das Umfangsregister des oberen Druckwerks der gewählten zweiten Druckeinheit einstellen zu können, wird das der Funktionsanzeige 38 zugeordnete Kommandofeld F7 betätigt. Zur Eingabe der Sollwerte sind die Kommandofelder 34 im unteren Drittel des Eingabefeldes 9 vorgesehen. Die Sollwerteingabe kann entweder numerisch oder inkremental erfolgen, wobei unter inkremental zu verstehen ist, daß eine Aufsummierung der Sollwerte bei einer anhaltenden oder wiederholten Betätigung einer der Kommandofelder 34 erfolgt. Soll nun eine Registerverstellung z. B. in einer fünften Druckeinheit erfolgen, kann das entsprechende Kommandofeld 32 direkt betätigt werden und es wird ein dem Bild 39 entsprechendes Bild für das fünfte Druckwerk angezeigt.To z. B. to be able to set the circumferential register of the upper printing unit of the selected second printing unit, the command field F7 assigned to the function display 38 is actuated. The command fields 34 are provided in the lower third of the input field 9 for entering the target values. The setpoint input can either be numeric or occur incrementally, where incremental is understood to mean that the setpoints are added up when one of the command fields 34 is actuated continuously or repeatedly. Should a register adjustment z. B. in a fifth printing unit, the corresponding command field 32 can be actuated directly and an image corresponding to image 39 is displayed for the fifth printing unit.

Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich zur Verstellung (z. B. der Register) eine geeignete "Software" derart zu erstellen, so daß der Ort und die Bewegungsrichtung eines Gegenstandes (z. B. Finger) auf der Eingabeebene 6 vom Leitstandrechner 11 registriert wird und für die Zeitdauer der Bewegung eine Verstellbewegung des zuvor z. B. mittels des Kommandofeldes F7 angewählten Umfangsregisters durchführt. Die Richtung der Bewegung des Gegenstandes z. B. von unten nach oben bedeutet beispielsweise eine Vergrößerung eines Stellwertes, die Bewegungsrichtung von oben nach unten eine Verringerung des Stellwertes. Zur Einstellung eines Diagonalregisters könnte die Bewegungsrichtung entsprechend diagonal sein.It is of course also possible to create suitable "software" for the adjustment (for example the register) in such a way that the location and the direction of movement of an object (for example fingers) is registered on the input level 6 by the control center computer 11 and for the duration of the movement an adjustment movement of the previously z. B. by means of the command field F7 selected circumferential register. The direction of movement of the object e.g. B. from bottom to top means, for example, an increase in a manipulated variable, the direction of movement from top to bottom in a decrease in the manipulated variable. The direction of movement could accordingly be diagonal for setting a diagonal register.

Da kapazitive und piezoelektrische Systeme auch durch eine Papierschicht hindurch noch sicher arbeiten, ist es möglich z. B. beim Einsatz der Eingabekonsole 1 für eine Farbregisterregelung an einer Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine eine Verstellung der Farbregister wie beschrieben durch einen auf die Kontaktebene 6 oder das Eingabefeld 9 gelegten Bogen hindurch vorzunehmen.Since capacitive and piezoelectric systems also work safely through a paper layer, it is possible e.g. B. when using the input console 1 for a color register control on a sheet-fed rotary printing press to adjust the color register as described through a sheet placed on the contact plane 6 or the input field 9 therethrough.

Beim Einsatz von piezoelektrischen Systemen für die Kontaktfelder 13 kann der Betätigungsdruck als zusätzlicher Eingabeparameter verwendet werden, da die Piezoelemente je nach Druckbeaufschlagung unterschiedlich hohe Ausgangsspannungen erzeugen. Durch Druckdosierung können also auch Verstellvorgänge gesteuert werden. Die Kommandofelder 16, 32, 33, 34, F1 - F12, weisen kleine Wulste 36 um ihre Betätigungsfläche 37 auf, damit diese Betätigungsflächen 37 nicht unbeabsichtigt betätigt werden können. In dieser Ausführung entspricht das Eingabefeld 9 den allgemeinen Sicherheitsbestimmungen für Druckmachinen und kann deshalb auch für Maschinen-Lauf-Kommandos (z. B. Vorrücken) verwendet werden.When using piezoelectric systems for the contact fields 13, the actuation pressure can be used as an additional input parameter, since the piezo elements generate differently high output voltages depending on the pressurization. Adjustment processes can also be controlled by pressure dosing. The command fields 16, 32, 33, 34, F1-F12 have small beads 36 around their actuating surface 37 so that these actuating surfaces 37 cannot be actuated unintentionally. In this version, input field 9 corresponds to the general safety regulations for printing presses and can therefore also be used for machine run commands (e.g. advance).
