Abstract

The machine includes a control unit which regulates and/or controls partial unit of the printing machine. The control unit is connected with an operating unit for servicing and supervising the printing machine, whereby messages and instructions for the supervision and/or control of the printing machine are exchanged bi-directional between the control unit and the operating unit. The operating unit (10, 11, 12) comprises a communications-capable user surface in form of a browser, and is connected over a server (9) with the control unit (8) of the printing machine (1).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Druckmaschine, insbesondere eine Bogenoffsetdruckmaschine, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a printing press, in particular a sheet-fed offset printing press, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bei Druckmaschinen werden im Verlauf des Druckprozesses vielfältige Daten zwischen einer Steuereinheit, die den Maschinenprozess steuert und einer Überwachungs- und Bedieneinheit ausgetauscht. Die Überwachung- und Bedieneinheit ist üblicherweise im Leitstand einer Druckmaschine ausgebildet. Ein Austausch von Daten und Nachrichten zwischen Steuereinheit und Überwachungs- und Bedieneinheit erfolgt dabei über fest vorgegebene Protokolle, wobei vom jeweiligen Sender die Nachricht immer in Form einer Datei erzeugt wird, welche an den jeweiligen Empfänger übermittelt und von diesem geöffnet und gelesen wird.In printing presses, a variety of data is exchanged between a control unit that controls the machine process and a monitoring and control unit during the printing process. The monitoring and control unit is usually formed in the control room of a printing press. An exchange of data and messages between the control unit and monitoring and control unit is carried out via fixed protocols, the message from the transmitter is always generated in the form of a file, which is transmitted to the respective recipient and opened and read by this.

Diese Art der Datenübertragung hat den Nachteil, dass die Kommunikation mit der Steuereinheit nur vom Leitstand erfolgen kann, da dieser auf die Konfiguration der Maschinensteuerung abgestimmt ist. Ein Zugriff auf die Maschinensteuerung von einer Stelle außerhalb des Leitstandes erfordert einen hohen Installations- und Konfigurationsaufwand.This type of data transmission has the disadvantage that the communication with the control unit can only be done by the control room, since this is tuned to the configuration of the machine control. Access to the machine control from a location outside the control room requires a high installation and configuration effort.

In der EP 0 878 303 A2 wird eine Architektur zur Steuerung mit verteilten Masken an digitalen Druckmaschinen und Druckplattenbelichtern beschrieben. Die Architektur zur Steuerung ist hierbei mit einem Browser ausgerüstet, der für die Bearbeitung, Darstellung und Steuerung aller im Zusammenhang mit Auftragsarbeiten an einer Druckmaschine notwendigen Vorgänge verwendet wird. Der Browser ist in einem Auftragsrechner der entsprechenden digitalen Druckmaschine angeordnet.In the EP 0 878 303 A2 describes an architecture for distributed mask control on digital presses and platesetters. The control architecture is equipped with a browser that is used to process, visualize, and control all operations necessary in the context of contract work on a press. The browser is arranged in a job computer of the corresponding digital printing press.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Druckmaschine anzugeben, bei welcher ein kommunikationsorientierter Zugriff auf die Steuereinheit von jeder beliebigen Position möglich ist.The invention is thus based on the object of specifying a printing machine in which a communication-oriented access to the control unit from any position is possible.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention the object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin dass, ohne Installations- und Konfigurationsaufwand jeder Rechner, dessen Bedieneroberfläche entsprechend ausgebildet ist, zum Client im Maschinen-Informations- und Steuersystem werden kann. Dabei wird bei Eingabe eines Befehls in die Bedieneinheit eine Nachricht erzeugt, welche eine Anweisung enthält, wie mit einem Programm Daten zu erzeugen sind, wobei die Steuereinheit nach Erhalt der Nachricht die Daten selbst generiert. Der Datenaustausch in die entgegengesetzte Richtung von der Steuereinheit zur Bedieneinheit erfolgt analog.The advantage of the invention is that, without installation and configuration effort, each computer, whose user interface is designed accordingly, can become the client in the machine information and control system. When entering a command into the operating unit, a message is generated which contains an instruction as to how data is to be generated by a program, with the control unit generating the data itself after receiving the message. The data exchange in the opposite direction from the control unit to the control unit is analog.

Vorteilhafterweise wird ein Internet-Browser zur Bedienung und Überwachung der Druckmaschine eingesetzt. Damit steht ein standardisiertes Mensch-Maschine-Interface zur Verfügung. Da Standard-Internetbrowser für jedes gängige Betriebssystem erhältlich sind, ist die Bedienung und Überwachung der Druckmaschine plattformunabhängig.
An den Client werden keinerlei aufwendige Hardware- und Softwareanforderungen gestellt. Jeder Standart-PC kann nach Herstellung einer Netzwerkverbindung sofort verwendet werden. In Frage kommen auch gängige Kleingeräte wie Notebooks, Handheld-PCs, Palmtops und entsprechend ausgestattete Mobiltelefone.Advantageously, an Internet browser is used to operate and monitor the printing press. This provides a standardized man-machine interface. Since standard Internet browsers are available for every common operating system, the operation and monitoring of the printing press is platform-independent.
The client does not have to spend any complex hardware and software requirements. Any standard PC can be used immediately after establishing a network connection. In question are also common small devices such as notebooks, handheld PCs, palmtops and appropriately equipped mobile phones.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Server Bestandteil der Steuereinheit. Softwarepflege und Updates sind somit nur für die Serverkomponenten notwendig.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the server is part of the control unit. Software maintenance and updates are therefore only necessary for the server components.

Vorteilhafterweise greifen weitere Bedieneinheiten, welche dieselbe kommunikationsfähige Bedieneroberfläche aufweisen, unabhängig voneinander auf den Server zu. Die Bedienung und Überwachung der Druckmaschine , basierend auf der Client/Server - Technologie, kann somit global und lokal einer definierten Anwendergruppe verfügbar gemacht werden. Somit können mehrere Standard-Browser, die an beliebiger Stelle an der Druckmaschine für die Bedienung (lokal) bzw. im Umfeld zur Informationsverarbeitung (global) plaziert sein können, eingesetzt werden.Advantageously, further operating units, which have the same communication-capable user interface, access the server independently of one another. Operation and monitoring of the printing press, Based on the client / server technology, it can be made available globally and locally to a defined user group. Thus, several standard browsers, which can be placed anywhere on the press for the operation (local) or in the environment for information processing (global) can be used.

Um die Bedienung und Überwachung nur berechtigten Nutzern zu erlauben, ist mindestens eine Bedieneinheit über eine Zugriffsschutzeinheit mit dem Server verbunden.In order to allow operation and monitoring only authorized users, at least one operating unit is connected via an access protection unit to the server.

In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung erfolgt die Übertragung der Nachrichten zwischen Server und der Bedieneinheit drahtlos. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Bedieneinheit frei beweglich zu gestalten.In one embodiment of the invention, the transmission of messages between the server and the control unit is wireless. This makes it possible to make the control unit freely movable.

Die eigentliche Maschinensteuerung der Druckmaschine erfolgt in einem echtzeitfähigen Teilprozess, welcher über mindestens eine standardisierte Schnittstelle mit nichtechtzeitfähigen Logik- und Bedienprozessen der Bedieneinheit kommuniziert. Dieser Maschinensteuerungsprozeß läuft maschinennah und beinhaltet keinerlei Geschäftsprozesse oder Visualisierungskomponenten.The actual machine control of the printing press takes place in a real-time capable sub-process, which communicates via at least one standardized interface with non-real-time-capable logic and operating processes of the operating unit. This machine control process runs close to the machine and does not include any business processes or visualization components.

Für den Service ergeben sich somit neue Möglichkeiten. Eine einfache Fehlerdiagnose ist in örtlich getrennten Teams unabhängig vom Leitstand möglich. Die Erfindung ermöglicht eine globale Verfügbarkeit des Maschinennetzes der Druckmaschine mit einer Standardsoftware.This opens up new possibilities for service. A simple fault diagnosis is possible in locally separated teams independent of the control center. The invention enables a global availability of the machine network of the printing press with standard software.

Die Erfindung läßt zahlreiche Ausführungen zu. Eine davon soll anhand der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Figuren näher erläutert werden.The invention allows numerous embodiments. One of them will be explained in more detail with reference to the figures shown in the drawing.

Die Steuereinheit 8 beinhaltet einen Webserver 9, über welchen die Steuereinheit 8 mit mehreren Mensch-Maschine -Schnittstellen 10, 11, 12 kommuniziert. Diese Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen 10, 11, 12 weisen jeweils eine Bedieneroberfläche auf, welche in einem Standard Web-Browser realisiert ist. Dabei sind die Mensch - Maschine -Schnittstellen 11, 12 vorzugsweise als Personalcomputer ausgebildet und mit dem Webserver 9 über eine definierte und geschützte Zugriffsschleuse 13, beispielsweise in Firewall-Technologie verbunden. Diese Schnittstellen 11, 12 erlauben unter anderem einem Außendienstmitarbeiter, dem Service oder einem Kundenberater Zugriff auf die Daten der Druckmaschine. Diese Mitarbeiter sind räumlich von dem Standort der Druckmaschine entfernt.The control unit 8 includes a web server 9, via which the control unit 8 communicates with a plurality of human-machine interfaces 10, 11, 12. These man-machine interfaces 10, 11, 12 each have an operator interface, which is realized in a standard web browser. The human-machine interfaces 11, 12 are preferably designed as personal computers and connected to the web server 9 via a defined and protected access lock 13, for example in firewall technology. These interfaces 11, 12 allow, among other things, a sales representative, the service or a customer consultant access to the data of the printing press. These employees are physically away from the location of the press.

Die direkt mit dem Webserver 9 verbundene Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle 10 ist, wie bei Druckmaschinen gebräuchlich, am Leitstand ausgebildet. Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu können ein oder mehrere nicht weiter dargestellte Personalcomputer, welche eine entsprechende Bedieneroberfläche aufweisen, ebenfalls direkt mit dem Webserver 9 verbunden sein.

Additionally or alternatively, one or more personal computers not shown further, which have a corresponding user interface, may also be connected directly to the web server 9. These personal computers are located in the local environment of the printing machine 1 and are used by the operator of the printing machine, a work preparation, a service technician or the like. served.

Mit Hilfe von Figur 2 soll die Kommunikations-Architektur der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung näher erläutert werden.With the help of Figure 2, the communication architecture of the device according to the invention will be explained in more detail.

Innerhalb der Druckmaschine 1 werden verschiedene Kommunikationsebenen über den Webserver 9 verwaltet. Der Webserver 9 verwaltet den Datenbank-Server-Prozess 15 direkt oder über Geschäfts-Prozess-Komponenten 16.
Die Geschäfts-Prozess-Komponenten 16 kommunizieren über einen Gateway-Prozess 17 mit der eigentlichen Maschinensteuerung 18 der Druckmaschine 1.Within the printing machine 1, various communication levels are managed via the web server 9. The web server 9 manages the database server process 15 directly or via business process components 16.
The business process components 16 communicate via a gateway process 17 with the actual machine control 18 of the printing machine 1.

Während zwischen der Maschinensteuerung 18 und den Gateway-Prozessen 17 eine Low-Level Kommunikation besteht, erfolgt der Austausch der Nachrichten zwischen den Geschäfts-Prozess-Komponenten 16 und dem Gateway-Prozess 17 bzw. dem Webserver 9 über an sich bekannte Protokolle und Techniken, wie CORBA und COM/DCOM.While there is low-level communication between the machine controller 18 and the gateway processes 17, the messages are exchanged between the business process components 16 and the gateway process 17 or the web server 9 via protocols and techniques known per se. like CORBA and COM / DCOM.

Für die Kommunikation zwischen dem Webserver 9 und dem Datenbank-Server-Prozess 15 kommen ADO/DAO, OLEDB, ODBC zum Einsatz. Denkbar wären aber auch andere Techniken, wie HTTP, TCP/IP, FTP, Web-Tunneling, RPC, SQL und ASP.For the communication between the web server 9 and the database server process 15 ADO / DAO, OLEDB, ODBC are used. However, other technologies could also be considered, such as HTTP, TCP / IP, FTP, Web tunneling, RPC, SQL and ASP.

Als Entwicklungssprache für die Mensch-Maschine.Schnittstelle 10 zum Webserver 9 kommen XML + HTML, dynamisches HTML (DHTML) sowie die in den Webtechnologien verfügbaren Skriptsprachen zum Einsatz. Anforderungen höherer Komplexität können auf der Clientseite mit Javascript und/oder Java-Applets realisiert werden, wobei alle Quellen stets zentral vom Webserver 9 geladen werden.The development language for the human-machine interface 10 to the web server 9 is XML + HTML, dynamic HTML (DHTML) and the scripting languages available in the web technologies. Requirements of higher complexity can be realized on the client side with Javascript and / or Java applets, all sources are always loaded centrally from the web server 9.
