  • the decoupling of a drive of the labeling device may correspond to an electronic decoupling.
  • a controller may electronically decouple the operation of a drive of the labeling device from operating a drive of the providing device. This may in particular mean that the labeling device can be operated or controlled independently of the drive of the provisioning device.
  • the labeling device may comprise at least one transfer element arranged between the labeling device and the delivery device, wherein the automatic transfer of the predetermined number of articles comprises introducing the articles into the at least one transfer element.
  • the at least one transfer element may, for example, be a transfer star.
  • the predetermined number of articles can be introduced by the delivery device directly into the transfer element or be introduced into the transfer element via an output element of the delivery device.
  • the predetermined number may for example correspond to 1 to 8, in particular 3 to 5, articles.
  • the predetermined number may be selected depending on the receiving capacity of the at least one transfer element disposed between the labeling device and the delivery device.
  • the predetermined number of articles may be less than or equal to the capacity of the at least one transfer element.
  • the labeling device may comprise a plurality of drives.
  • each of the transfer elements may comprise its own drive.
  • drives of the labeling device in the decoupling step can be decoupled from the supply device, in particular from one or all drives of the provision device.
  • the automatic delivery of the predetermined number of articles may include determining whether the predetermined number of articles is located in the transfer element.
  • the step of decoupling may be performed once it has been determined that the predetermined number of articles has been placed in the transfer element.
  • the block system After the step of operating the labeling apparatus at the second operating speed, synchronization of a drive of the labeling apparatus with a drive of the supply apparatus and an operation of the labeling apparatus and the provision apparatus can take place in the first operating speed. As a result, as soon as the settings of the labeling device have been checked and possibly corrected, the block system can be operated at production speed.
  • an interruption of the provision of further articles can be canceled by the provision device.
  • the provisioning device can provide further articles.
  • the invention also provides a control element for controlling a labeling device, wherein the control element is configured or designed to carry out a method as described above.
  • the invention also provides a block system comprising a labeling device for furnishing articles, in particular bottles, with a label and a delivery device for providing the articles to be labeled, the block system also having a control element for controlling the block system, in particular the labeling device, according to one of the above method described.
  • the block system may comprise a delivery device as a blowing machine and / or a filling plant.
  • the block system may also include a blocking element that is configured such that after the provision of the predetermined number of articles, the provision of further articles may be interrupted.
  • the blocking element may for example be a Preformsperre, which, when activated, prevents preforms are introduced into a blow molding machine.
