Abstract

Eine Vorrichtung zum Steuern einer Vielzahl von Farbzonen (20, 40, 50, 60) mit einem Prozessor, insbesondere in einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine, wobei die Farbzonen (20, 40, 50, 60) jeweils einen Sollwert-Controller (24) aufweisen, welcher Sollwertsignale als Eingaben von dem Prozessor erhält, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Farbzonen (20, 40, 50, 60) jeweils einen Protokoll-Controller (22) aufweisen, der mit dem Prozessor und mit dem jeweiligen Sollwert-Controller (24) verbunden ist, wobei der jeweilige Protokoll-Controller (22) die Sollwertsignale von dem Prozessor über ein lokales Netzwerk (2) erhält.

Figure imgaf001
An apparatus for controlling a plurality of inking zones (20, 40, 50, 60) with a processor, particularly in a web-fed rotary printing press, wherein the inking zones (20, 40, 50, 60) each comprise a set point controller (24) which outputs setpoint signals received as inputs from the processor is characterized in that the ink zones (20, 40, 50, 60) each comprise a protocol controller (22) connected to the processor and to the respective setpoint controller (24) wherein the respective protocol controller (22) receives the setpoint signals from the processor via a local area network (2).
