Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine An- und Abschaltvorrichtung für eine Druckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a startup and shutdown device for a printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.

[Stand der Technik][State of the art]

Druckmaschinen werden heute zunehmend von einem Leitstand aus bedient und überwacht. Der Rechner des Leitstandes ist hierbei als PC ausgebildet, so dass über einen Monitor Daten und Einstellwerte visualisiert werden können. Über den Leitstand der Druckmaschine erfolgt ebenfalls eine Einstellung bzw. Veränderung von Prozessdaten sowie ggf. auch eine Verwaltung der auf der Maschine auszuführenden Druckaufträge. Ein Rechner für den Leitstand einer Druckmaschine ist insbesondere aus der DE 195 39 794 A1 bekannt.Today, printing presses are increasingly being operated and monitored from a control room. The computer of the control station is designed as a PC so that data and settings can be visualized via a monitor. The control console of the printing press also carries out a setting or change of process data and possibly also an administration of the print jobs to be executed on the machine. A computer for the control station of a printing press is known in particular from DE 195 39 794 A1.

Die Steuerfunktionen der Druckmaschine, welche ggf. über Bedienelemente des Leitstandes vorgewählt bzw. ausgelöst worden sind, werden durch einen separaten Steuerungsrechner (SPS) bewirkt. Dieser Steuerrechner kann als ein oder mehrere Rechner zentral angeordnet bzw. den einzelnen Funktionseinheiten der Druckmaschine zugeordnet sein. Der eine oder die mehreren Steuerrechner sind über ein Bussystem mit dem Leitstandrechner verbunden. So können von der Steuerung erfasste Daten / Werte dem Leitstandrechner zugeführt und dort zur Visualisierung verarbeitet werden. Umgekehrt können Dateneingaben und insbesondere das Laufverhalten der Druckmaschine betreffende Kommandos als entsprechende Signale über das Bussystem der Steuerung zugeführt und dort über entsprechende Aktuatoren bzw. den Antrieb der Druckmaschine umgesetzt werden.The control functions of the printing press, which may have been preselected or triggered via controls of the control station, are effected by a separate control computer (PLC). This control computer can be arranged centrally as one or more computers or assigned to the individual functional units of the printing press. The one or more control computers are connected to the control center computer via a bus system. Thus, data / values acquired by the control can be supplied to the control center computer and processed there for visualization. Conversely, data inputs and, in particular, the commands relating to the running behavior of the printing machine can be fed to the controller as corresponding signals via the bus system and converted there via corresponding actuators or the drive of the printing press.

Sowohl die Rechner der Steuerung der Druckmaschine als auch der Leitstandrechner sowie der oder die Antriebe der Druckmaschine sind über Netzteile mit dem Spannungsnetz verbunden. Entsprechend sind diesen Netzteilen Hauptschalter zugeordnet, so dass zum An- und Abschalten der Druckmaschine sowie Leitstandrechner mehrere Bedienhandlungen nötig sind. Zwar ist aus der DE 297 09 783 U1 eine Netzversorgung für eine Druckmaschine bekannt, bei der die Hauptschalter der einzelnen Komponenten über Zeitglieder miteinander verkoppelt sind, jedoch ist eine derartige Lösung nicht auf die Steuerung einer Druckmaschine mit einem Leitstandrechner übertragbar, bei welchem der Leitstandrechner mit einem modernerem Betriebssystem wie Windows (NT), UNIX oder dergleichen betrieben wird. Dies hat seinen Grund darin, dass bei derartigen modernen Betriebssystemen das Abschalten des Leitstandrechners softwaremäßig eingeleitet wird, d.h. nach eingeleitetem Herunterfahren des Rechners werden zunächst zu sichernde Daten abgespeichert und erst dann erfolgt das spannungsfrei Schalten des Rechners vom System aus. Ein Koppeln des Hauptschalters der Druckmaschine mit dem Schalter des Leitstandrechners ist also nicht möglich, da über den Hauptschalter der Druckmaschine ein über die Software des Leitstandrechners auszuführendes Herunterfahren nicht auslösbar ist.Both the computer of the control of the printing press and the control center computer and the drive or the drives of the printing press are connected via power supplies to the power grid. Accordingly, these power supplies are associated with main switches, so that for switching on and off the printing press and control center computer several operations are necessary. Although a mains supply for a printing machine is known from DE 297 09 783 U1, in which the main switch of the individual components are coupled together via timers, however, such a solution is not transferable to the control of a printing press with a control center computer, in which the control center computer with a modern operating system such as Windows (NT), UNIX or the like is operated. This is due to the fact that in such modern operating systems, the switching off of the control center computer is initiated by software, ie after the shutdown of the computer to be backed up first data to be backed up and only then takes place the voltage-free switching of the computer from the system. Coupling of the main switch of the printing press with the switch of the control center computer is therefore not possible because of the main switch of the printing press on the software of the control center computer shutdown is not triggered.

Demzufolge sind bei einem Leitstandrechner ohne zusätzliche Spannungspufferung (USV) zwei Schritte für das Herunterfahren nötig. Zunächst wird, wie aus dem Bereich der PC's bekannt, das Herunterfahren des Leitstandrechners über einen entsprechenden Menüpunkt eingeleitet. Nachdem dann der Rechner des Leitstandes heruntergefahren und auch durch die Software abgeschaltet wurde, erfolgt das Abschalten der Steuerung der Druckmaschine (Steuerung nebst Antriebe) durch Betätigen des Hauptschalters.As a result, two steps for shutdown are required in a control room computer without additional voltage buffering (UPS). First, as is known from the field of PC's, the shutdown of the control center computer via a corresponding menu item initiated. After the computer of the control station has been shut down and also switched off by the software, the control of the printing press (control and drives) is switched off by pressing the main switch.

Aus der DE 297 20 039 U1 ist eine Spannungsversorgung für den Rechner einer Druckmaschine bekannt, bei welcher einem Rechner eine erste vorgegebene Zeitkonstante überbrückende Spannungspufferung (USV) vorgeordnet ist, welche eingangsseitig mit der über einen Hauptschalter schaltbaren Netzspannung verbunden ist. Dadurch lassen sich auf dem Rechner laufende Anwendungen ordnungsgemäß beenden und der Rechner herunterfahren, bevor das endgültige Abschalten des Rechners erfolgt. Mit einer derartigen Einrichtung ist es somit möglich, sowohl den Leitstandrechner als auch die damit verbundene Druckmaschine gleichzeitig mit einer Bedienhandlung abzuschalten.From DE 297 20 039 U1 a power supply for the computer of a printing press is known in which a computer, a first predetermined time constant bridging voltage buffering (UPS) is arranged upstream, which input side is connected to the switchable via a main switch mains voltage. As a result, applications running on the computer can be terminated properly and the computer shut down before the final shutdown of the computer takes place. With such a device, it is thus possible to disconnect both the control center computer and the press connected thereto simultaneously with an operator action.

Nachteilig bei dieser Lösung ist jedoch, dass eine kostenintensive Spannungspufferung in Form einer USV notwendig ist.A disadvantage of this solution, however, is that a costly voltage buffering in the form of a UPS is necessary.

[Aufgabe der Erfindung]OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine An- und Abschaltvorrichtung für eine Druckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 derartig zu erweitern, so dass unter Vermeidung der vorstehend genannten Nachteile eine einfache Möglichkeit zur Abschaltung des Rechners und der Druckmaschine gegeben ist.The object of the present invention is therefore to expand a startup and shutdown device for a printing press according to the preamble of claim 1 such that, while avoiding the above-mentioned disadvantages, a simple possibility for switching off the computer and the printing machine is provided.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

[Beispiele][Examples]

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Rechner des Leitstandes und die Steuerung der Druckmaschinen derartig in Signalverbindung stehen, so dass dem Leitstandrechner ein Signal zuführbar ist, dem entnehmbar ist, ob sich die Druckmaschine bzw. die Steuerung der Druckmaschine in einem Zustand befindet, in welchem ein Abschalten möglich ist. Wird dem Leitstandrechner über dieses Signal mitgeteilt, dass ein Abschalten möglich ist, so kann der Maschinenbediener über den Leitstandrechner über einen vorgesehenen Menüpunkt in der von PC's gewohnter Weise das Herunterfahren des Leitstandrechners mit nachfolgendem Abschalten der Maschinensteuerung nebst Druckmaschine auslösen. Dazu wird seitens des Leitstandrechners ein Signal an den Rechner der Steuerung gesandt, welches ein Zeitglied aktiviert. Gleichzeitig erfolgt das gezielte Herunterfahren der Anwendungen sowie des Betriebssystems des Leitstandrechners. Dabei erfolgt ein Abspeichern noch nicht gesicherten Daten auf den dafür vorgesehenen Datenträgern (Festplatte).According to the invention, it is provided that the computer of the control station and the control of the printing presses are in signal communication, so that the control center computer, a signal can be fed, which can be removed whether the press or the control of the printing press is in a state in which a shutdown is possible. If the control center computer is notified via this signal that shutdown is possible, then the machine operator can use the control console computer via a designated menu item in the manner customary by the PC to shut down the control console computer with subsequent shutdown trigger the machine control and printing press. For this purpose, a signal is sent by the control room computer to the computer of the controller, which activates a timer. At the same time, the targeted shutdown of the applications and the operating system of the control center computer takes place. This saves data that has not yet been saved on the data carriers (hard disk) provided for this purpose.

Das durch die Maschinensteuerung (den Rechner der Maschinensteuerung) aktivierte Zeitglied ist beispielsweise als eine entsprechende Softwareroutine innerhalb der Maschinensteuerung realisiert und bezüglich der vorgesehenen Zeitkonstante derartig bemessen, so dass innerhalb dieser Zeitspanne in jedem Fall das Herunterfahren des Leitstandrechners möglich ist. Nach Ablauf der entsprechenden Zeitspanne wird seitens der Maschinensteuerung ein Signal generiert, durch welches ein mit der Maschinensteuerung in Signalverbindung stehendes und sowohl den Rechner der Maschinensteuerung, den Leitstandrechner sowie die Antriebe der Druckmaschine mit dem Netz verbindenden Hauptschalter (Hauptschütz) betätigbar ist. Es erfolgt so das spannungsfreie Schalten der Rechner sowie der durch die Rechner (Steuerung) steuerbaren Antriebe.The timer activated by the machine control (the computer of the machine control) is implemented, for example, as a corresponding software routine within the machine control and dimensioned with respect to the provided time constant, so that in each case the shutdown of the control center computer is possible within this time span. After the appropriate period of time, a signal is generated by the machine control, by which a standing with the machine control in signal connection and both the computer of the machine control, the control center computer and the drives of the printing press with the network main switch (main contactor) can be actuated. The voltage-free switching of the computers as well as the drives controllable by the computer (control) takes place in this way.

Durch die Erfindung ist es möglich, die normalerweise zwei Bedienhandlungen, nämlich das Herunterfahren des Leitstandrechners und das nachfolgende Abschalten der Druckmaschine (Druckmaschinensteuerung) über den Hauptschalter zu einer einzigen Bedienhandlung zusammenzufassen. Eine vorgeordnete Spannungspufferung in Form einer USV ist dabei nicht erforderlich.By the invention it is possible to combine the normally two operations, namely the shutdown of the control center computer and the subsequent shutdown of the printing press (printing machine control) via the main switch to a single operator action. An upstream voltage buffering in the form of a UPS is not required.

Durch die Verbindung des Leitstandrechners mit der Maschinensteuerung ist eine permanente Erfassung des Zustandes der Maschinensteuerung gegeben, ob nämlich ein Abschalten von Maschine, Steuerung und Leitstand-PC möglich ist. Liegt ein derartiger und das Abschalten ermöglichender Zustand vor, so kann in gewohnter Weise über einen vorgesehenen Menüpunkt das Herunterfahren des Leitstandrechners eingeleitet werden. Dieses wird als ein sogenannter ShutDown-Befehl an die Maschine (Maschinensteuerung) gesendet, gleichzeitig wird hierbei die Steuerung der Druckmaschine in einen vorgesehenen Betriebszustand (ShutDown) versetzt, in welcher keine Produktion mehr möglich und die Maschine nur noch mit Einschränkungen bedienbar ist. Hierbei kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass nur noch diejenigen Kommandos ausgeführt werden können, welche die Maschine in einen für den Bediener auf jeden Fall sicheren Betriebszustand versetzten.Through the connection of the control center computer with the machine control is a permanent detection of the state of Given machine control, namely, whether a shutdown of machine, control and control center PC is possible. If such a state and the deactivation enable state, the shutdown of the control center computer can be initiated in the usual way via a designated menu item. This is sent as a so-called ShutDown command to the machine (machine control), at the same time the control of the printing machine in a scheduled operating condition (ShutDown) is added, in which no more production possible and the machine is only operated with restrictions. This can be provided in particular that only those commands can be executed, which put the machine in a safe for the operator in any case operating condition.

Nach dem Empfang des ShutDown-Befehls seitens des Leitstandrechners sendet die Maschinensteuerung (der Rechner der Maschinensteuerung) eine entsprechende Quittung an die Software des Leitstandrechners. Dadurch wird der ShutDown aktiviert und kann nun vom Bediener über den Leitstandrechner nicht mehr abgebrochen werden (ShutDownActive).After receiving the ShutDown command from the control center computer, the machine control (the machine control computer) sends a corresponding acknowledgment to the software of the control center computer. This activates the shutdown and can no longer be aborted by the operator via the control room computer (ShutDownActive).

Nun starten die seitens des Betriebssystems vorgesehenen Routinen zum Abspeichern nicht gesicherter Daten auf den vorgesehenen Datenträgern sowie das gezielte Terminieren der auf dem Leitstandrechner laufenden Anwendungen. Als abschließendes Signal sendet die Software des Leitstandes ein gezieltes PowerOFF-Kommando an die Maschine (Rechner der Maschinensteuerung) in Form eines SwitchPowerOFF-Signals. Dieses Signal entspricht demjenigen Signal bei üblichen Büro-PC's, durch welches dann der Netzschalter des Rechners betätigt wird. Die Maschinensteuerung, welche das PowerOFF-Kommando bereits empfangen hat, wird nun ihrerseits die internen Vorgänge des Betriebssystems beenden und dann den Abschaltvorgang auslösen. Dieses Abschalten wird durch die Maschinensteuerung realisiert, in dem beispielsweise über ein SPS-Output der Arbeitsstromauslöser der Maschine den Hauptschalter der Maschine in eine neutrale Endstellung bringt. In diesem Zustand sind dann die Maschine, die Steuerung der Druckmaschine als auch der Leitstandrechner völlig spannungsfrei. Ein Wiedereinschalten der Maschine erfolgt dann, in dem der Hauptschalter von der neutralen Endstellung in die PowerOff-Stellung gebracht wird und daraufhin anschließend in die PowerON-Stellung.Now start the part of the operating system provided routines for storing unsecured data on the intended data carriers and the targeted termination of running on the control room computer applications. As a final signal, the software of the control station sends a targeted PowerOFF command to the machine (machine control computer) in the form of a SwitchPowerOFF signal. This signal corresponds to that signal in conventional office PC's, through which then the power switch of the computer is operated. The machine control, which has already received the PowerOFF command, will now terminate the internal operations of the operating system and then the Trigger shutdown. This shutdown is realized by the machine control, in which, for example, via a PLC output of the shunt release of the machine brings the main switch of the machine in a neutral end position. In this state, then the machine, the control of the printing press and the control center computer are completely stress-free. The machine is switched on again by moving the main switch from the neutral end position into the PowerOff position and then into the PowerON position.

Aufgrund der Erfindung erfolgt ein Abschalten des Leitstandrechners als auch der Druckmaschine softwaregesteuert über den Leitstandrechner selbst. Grundsätzlich ist es aber auch möglich, die Druckmaschine nebst der zugeordneten Rechner über den Hauptschalter direkt abzuschalten bzw. es sind Vorkehrungen zu treffen, wenn sowohl Druckmaschine als auch die zugeordneten Rechner durch einen Spannungsausfall abgeschaltet werden. Aufgrund entsprechender Softwareprotokollierung im Leitstandrechner ist feststellbar, dass der Abschaltvorgang nicht in der vorgesehenen Weise softwaregesteuert erfolgt ist. Dies wird sowohl aufgezeichnet als auch beim nächsten Hochfahren des Rechners dem Benutzer visuell mitgeteilt. Weiterhin erhält der Steuerrechner der Maschine (SPS) eine kurze Zeitspanne (z.B. 200mS) vor dem Abschalten ein Signal, dass der Hauptschalter betätigt wurde, demzufolge sendet der Steuerrechner (SPS) der Software des Leitstandrechners beim Booten ein Signal, welches dokumentiert / angibt, dass über den Hauptschalter abgeschaltet worden ist.Due to the invention, a shutdown of the control center computer and the printing machine software controlled via the control center computer itself. In principle, it is also possible to turn off the press together with the associated computer via the main switch directly or there are precautions to be taken if both printing press and the assigned computer can be switched off by a power failure. Due to appropriate software logging in the control center computer, it can be determined that the switch-off process has not been software-controlled in the intended manner. This is both recorded and visually communicated to the user the next time the computer is booted. Furthermore, the control computer of the machine (PLC) receives a short time (eg 200mS) before switching off a signal that the main switch has been actuated, consequently sends the control computer (PLC) of the software of the control center computer at boot time, a signal that documents / indicates that has been switched off via the main switch.

Wurde die Druckmaschine nebst der zugeordneten Rechner durch einen Netzausfall abgeschaltet, so ist dies über entsprechende Softwareprotokollierung ebenfalls feststellbar und dem Benutzer visuell mitteilbar.If the printing machine and the assigned computer were switched off by a power failure, this can also be detected by appropriate software logging and communicated to the user visually.

Um im Fall unkontrollierter Netzzusammenbrüche Datenverluste zu vermeiden, werden wie allgemein bekannt in vorgegebenen Zeitabständen Sicherungskopien der im Arbeitsspeicher vorhandenen Daten durchgeführt. Somit liegt bei einem Wiederhochfahren des Rechnersystems auf jeden Fall der Zustand des letzten Backup's gesichert vor. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, im laufenden Betrieb alle relevanten Daten sofort bzw. periodisch zu sichern. Während des Einschaltens wird dann eine Synchronisation aller auf der Festplatte gesicherten Daten durchgeführt. Durch ein spezielles Backup-Verfahren ist gesichert, dass wenigstens ein Zustand wieder erreichbar ist, dass die Maschine im Fall eines Datenverlustes wieder lauffähig wird (FallBack-Strategy).In order to avoid data losses in the event of uncontrolled network breakdowns, as is generally known, backup copies of the data present in the main memory are carried out at predetermined time intervals. Thus, in a reboot of the computer system in any case the state of the last backup is secured. It can be provided to secure all relevant data immediately or periodically during operation. During power up, all data backed up to disk will be synchronized. A special backup procedure ensures that at least one state can be reached again, that the machine will become operational again in case of data loss (FallBack strategy).

Die Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung sind darin zu sehen, dass ein zentrales Abschalten der Maschine sowie der zugeordneten Rechner (Steuerungsrechner, Leitstandrechner) über die Software des Leitstandrechners möglich ist. Eine gepufferte Spannungsversorgung (USV) ist hierzu nicht nötig. Durch entsprechende Zusatzmaßnahmen ist ein sicheres Datenhandling auch im Falle von unvorhergesehenen Abschaltvorgängen über Hauptschalter / Netzzusammenbruch möglich. Entsprechende Protokollierungsmaßnahmen geben zudem die Möglichkeit dem Benutzer darzustellen, ob ein Netzzusammenbruch oder ein einfacher Abschaltvorgang über Hauptschalter bzw. Software durchgeführt wurde.The advantages of the present invention can be seen in the fact that a central shutdown of the machine and the associated computer (control computer, control center computer) via the software of the control center computer is possible. A buffered power supply (UPS) is not necessary for this purpose. By appropriate additional measures a secure data handling is also possible in case of unforeseen shutdowns via main switch / network breakdown. Corresponding logging measures also enable the user to visualize whether a network breakdown or a simple switch-off process has been carried out via the main switch or software.

Des weiteren erfolgt die Erläuterung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung.

Diese zeigt:

Furthermore, the explanation of an embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawing.
This shows:
A printing press with associated control computer and control console as well as mains connection and main switch.

An der Druckmaschine 1 weist eine wenigstens aus einem Rechner bestehende Steuerung 2 in Form einer SPS auf. Die Steuerung 2 ist über einen Bus mit einem Leitstandrechner 3 nebst zugeordneter Anzeigevorrichtung 4 (Monitor) verbunden. Über das die Steuerung 2 mit dem Leitstandrechner 3 verbindende Bussystem können die für den Betrieb der Maschine nötigen Daten ausgetauscht werden. Weiterhin ermöglicht die Verbindung zwischen Leitstandrechner 3 und Steuerung 2 die Übermittlung seitens des Steuerrechners 2 an den Leitstandrechner 3 sendbarer Signale, welche angeben, dass ein Zustand vorliegt, welcher ein Abschalten der Maschine erlaubt. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn bestimmte Laufkommandos nicht ausgeführt werden.At the printing machine 1 has an at least one computer controller 2 in the form of a PLC. The controller 2 is connected via a bus with a control center computer 3 together with associated display device 4 (monitor). About the controller 2 with the control center computer 3 connecting bus system necessary for the operation of the machine data can be exchanged. Furthermore, the connection between control center computer 3 and control 2 enables the transmission on the part of the control computer 2 to the control room computer 3 of sendable signals which indicate that a state is present which allows a shutdown of the machine. This is especially the case when certain running commands are not executed.

Über die Signalverbindung zwischen Leitstandrechner 3 und der Steuerung 2 können im Leitstandrechner 3 generierte PowerOFF-Signale an den Steuerrechner 2 gesandt werden, durch welches dann über einen speziellen SPS-Output (Signalleitung) das über den Hauptschalter 5 auch manuell betätigbare Hauptschütz 6 betätigbar ist. Wie bereits zuvorstehend erläutert, erfolgt das spannungsfrei Schalten sowohl der Druckmaschine 1 als auch der Rechner der Steuerung 2 sowie des Leitstandes 3 (gemeinsame Spannungsversorgung über Hauptschütz 6) über den Steuerrechner 2 nach einer das Herunterfahren des Betriebssystems des Leitstandrechners 3 ermöglichenden und durch Softwareroutinen im Steuerrechner 2 bewirkten Zeitspanne.Via the signal connection between the control center computer 3 and the controller 2 3 Generated PowerOFF signals can be sent to the control computer 2 through which then via a special PLC output (signal line) via the main switch 5 also manually operable main contactor 6 can be actuated. As already explained above, the voltage-free switching takes place both the printing machine 1 and the computer of the controller 2 and the control station 3 (common power supply via main contactor 6) via the control computer 2 after a shutdown of the operating system of the control center computer 3 enabling and by software routines in the control computer 2 caused time span.
