Abstract

Method for operating a control system in printing works for at least one printing machine (1; 2) with at least one control console (3; 7) containing a computer (4,8) and a monitor (5), characterized in that the transmission of information to and from Pressing machine (1, 2) via an at least one of the computers (4, 8) of the control station (3, 7) assigned e-mail address and this computer (4, 8) is equipped with the appropriate software.

Description

The The invention relates to a method of operating a control system in print shops for at least one printing press.

Out the magazine "Economic Week "No. 38 from 17.09.1993, pages 84 and 86, it is already known between a printing company and a printing press manufacturer online maintenance of a printing press perform. The printing press manufacturer has a remote diagnosis and remote maintenance station, in which a monitor is installed. In the printing house are from a television camera taken pictures from a printing machine. These images become the Remote Diagnosis and Remote Maintenance Station transmitted by the printing press manufacturer. There, the images displayed on the monitor from the printing press evaluated by a specialist. This one gives over a telephone connection advices to repair the printing press in the printing works. It is even possible over one Online connection to intervene in the control of the printing press.

Furthermore, by the EP 07 27 313 A1 It is known that via an ISDN card the printing machine PC is in communication with a multiplexed demultiplexing unit and from there data from the PC as digital signals in the ISDN method either via permanently installed optical or electrical lines or from a ground sending station via a satellite a remote diagnosis and remote maintenance station to be transported.

Via phone preferably over Videophone exchanges the maintenance and service personnel in the printing house with the personnel in the remote diagnosis and remote maintenance station about faults and errors the web-fed rotary printing press. Also over the data lines or over the Satellites become data between the web-fed rotary press and the remote diagnostics and remote maintenance station both sent as also received.

adversely is that only a data exchange between the control station of the printing press and the maintenance and diagnostic station can take place, only press data can be exchanged and the danger of unauthorized interference exists.

task The invention is the creation of a universal data connection from and to the printing press (s).

According to the invention Task solved by the patent claim 1.

following the invention is based on an embodiment described in more detail.

The Drawing shows a control system in a printing plant for control from one or more printing presses.

The printer shown in the drawing is equipped with a first printing press 1 and a second printing machine 2 fitted. The first printing press 1 is one as the first control center 3 trained control room assigned. The control center 3 contains a tuning table 6 , a calculator 4 and a monitor 5 ,

This calculator 4 is equipped with an e-mail software and the calculator 4 is assigned an e-mail address.

In order to can Information - eg. Eg shift information - directly via e-mail to the first printing press or from the first printing press Any third party to be sent.

Of Further can Machine presetting data and program versions transmitted be, even the transmission collected operating data to higher level Systems is possible.

Conveniently, the first computer 4 integrated into the computer system of the enterprise via Internet for the purpose of the data exchange - Intranet.

The transfer of videos and pictures z. B. of faults and errors from the Control room to the service station and the transmission of service information, Maintenance instructions (including video chips) directly to the control room possible.

The second printing press 2 is analogous to the first printing press 1 fitted.

According to one variant, there is at least one control control station 3 with a higher-level system component control center 7 trained control room. The system component control station 7 contains a system computer 8th and a system monitor 9 ,

With the system component control station 7 are the system components scanners 10 , Color controller 11 and CIP components 12 connected. In a printing house, there are other system components not mentioned here which are also sent to the system component control station 7 can be connected.

The system calculator 8th and / or at least one computer of the system components is equipped with e-mail software and has a E-mail address.
