The invention relates to methods and devices which allow the secure, intentional and error-free initiation of different, directly executable industrial functions of machines or similar using a comparatively large-area, touch-sensitive entry means, in particular of the touch-screen type. A plurality of operating elements or selection fields is depicted on the entry means and the operator is able to find and actuate the operating elements without visual aid or control. The core part of the invention relates to the use of such touch-sensitive entry means of the capacitive touch-screen type, according to which the provided operating elements or selection fields are identified by applied haptically perceptible markings. In addition, in order to initiate an operating element or an industrial function that is associated with a selection field, the operator selects said field in a first step and makes an entry by means of a characteristic touch gesture in a second step. This allows the control system to differentiate accidental contact, such as an unsighted feeling of an identified operating element, from a deliberate operating action, and thus to reliably prevent unintentional operating actions.

The programmable logic control (PLC) program has a number N of tasks (N ≥ 1 ). The respective task has a number of execution paths, each one of the execution paths being individually executable in one cycle. For at least a plurality of cycles while executing the PLC program and for at least one task, the execution path of the respective task being executed in the respective cycle is recorded. Further, the reactive behavior of the executed PLC program is determined in dependence on the recorded execution paths of the at least one task. Then, a state model may be used to represent the reactive behaviour of a task program, wherein the respective execution path represents a particular state of the finite state machine, and a change from one execution path to another execution path represents a state transition of the finite state machine. Further, the finite state machine may be embodied as a Markov model, where the transition probabilities represent the observed relative frequencies of the changes from one execution path to another execution path in the original program run and the transition probabilities of the Markov model are used as indicators for identifying and localizing potential defects in the program run of the PLC program.

The invention relates to a method and devices for protecting a reading device (1) for card-shaped data carriers (2) against unauthorized evaluation or copying of magnetically encoded data detected in the reading device (1) for card-shaped data carriers (2). To this end, an electromagnetic noise field (18) is generated by means of a noise field coil (17). The use or disposition of the at least one noise field coil (17) is such that the authorized magnetic field reading head (10) is also affected by the noise field (18) of the noise field coil (17) when the magnetically encoded data of a card-shaped data carrier (2) is being read. An output or sum signal of the authorized magnetic field reading head (10) generated from the wanted signal of a card-shaped data carrier (2) and from the effects of the noise field (18) is detected. The effect of the noise field (18) of the noise field coil (17) in the output or sum signal of the authorized magnetic field reading head (10) is then compensated or filtered out or the wanted signal is selectively filtered out of the output or sum signal of the authorized magnetic field reading head (10).

The invention relates to a setting method for the semi-automatic production of a process-capable basic setting for an injection molding machine (1) for processing molding compounds made of plastic. Using an interactive start-up assistant (15) that is integrated in a control apparatus (14) of the injection molding machine (1) by way of software, wherein said start-up assistant (15) guides an operator of the injection molding machine (1) in steps at least through partial sections of the setting process, values or variables for system-relevant process parameters are determined by which a process-capable basic setting is attained as quickly and reliably as possible. For this purpose, prior to starting a test phase, those conditions are defined on a preliminary basis which significantly influence the flow properties of the molding compound, in particular the injection speed and the compound temperature. In addition, a characteristic for the respective flow behavior is determined at least approximately by the start-up assistant (15), in particular a viscosity of the molding compound that is used under said preliminarily established process conditions. Said characteristic for the flow behavior of the molding compound, and optionally other process characteristics which have been determined or specified, are used to establish a provisional, preliminary setting for the target value and/or for the upper threshold value of the injection pressure for the test phase to be started thereafter.

The invention relates to a method and a control device (2) for operating an electrically controllable technical device (1), in particular a machine, an installation, a unit or a technical process. A control panel (4) having input means (6) for issuing control commands to the technical device (1) and for inputting data to the control device (T) from an operator (7) is provided in this case. This control panel (4) also comprises a graphics-enabled output means (8) for displaying subsets of information which is available overall for an operator (7).

The invention relates to a method for creation, editing, monitoring and/or optimizing the overall machine process of a programmable machine or installation, supported at the user end by a graphics editor. In this case, the programmable machine or installation is first of all assembled as a system of individual machine units which are involved in the overall machine process during particular time periods, by carrying out a number of partial machine processes. These partial machine processes of the machine units which are involved in the overall machine process are first of all synchronized with one another, after their definition, and are then configured. All of the above method steps are carried out on the basis of a two-dimensional flowchart (1), which is produced by the graphics editor, in the chart area of which symbols relating to the associated process are entered for all the partial machine processes involved in the overall machine process. In this case, the process symbols are positioned or repositioned by the graphics editor such that they are arranged in one machine component dimension corresponding to their association with a machine unit and in a time dimension corresponding to the synchronization of their associated partial machine processes with further partial machine processes of the same machine unit or with partial machine processes of other machine units.

The invention relates to a lock (1) which can be unlocked in an electrically automated manner, in particular for use for storage systems like lockers. In this case, a blocking element (9) is provided which can be inserted into the lock (1), can be blocked in the lock (1) and in this case holds a locker door (2), which is firmly connected to the blocking element (9), in the closed position. Furthermore, a blocking catch (14) is provided which can be moved rotationally in a limited manner and which, on assuming its blocking position, engages either directly or indirectly via at least one coupling element (12), which is mounted such that it can move, with the blocking element (9). The essential feature in this case is that the section of a force introduction point (33') for the blocking force into the blocking catch (14) is designed such that force and impulse introduction, which are dependent on an interlock on the installation, from the blocking element (9) or from an intermediate coupling element (12), which may be provided, to the blocking catch (14) occurs directed virtually exclusively radially with respect to the pivoting axis (31) thereof, and any tangential force or impulse components which may occur can be transmitted virtually exclusively by friction forces to the force introduction point (33'). This achieves increased security against external manipulatory actions.
