Abstract

For the control of a saddle binder at a saddle stitch stapling machine, a data processing network (1) is linked to the junctions of the motor control units (3 1-3 n). A coordination link (2) transmits command data telegrams and receives status reports from the motor control units to determine the commands to be transmitted.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Antriebssteuerung einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von aus einer Mehrzahl von Teilerzeugnissen zusammengesetzten Druckerzeugnissen, die eine längs eines Förderweges transportierende Transporteinrichtung, eine der Mehrzahl der Teilerzeugnisse entsprechende Mehrzahl von Zuführeinrichtungen, von denen die Teilerzeugnisse an längs des Förderweges voneinander beabstandeten Stellen in einer dem Druckerzeugnis entsprechenden Reihenfolge in die Fördereinrichtung einspeisbar sind, und ein den Betriebsablauf der Vorrichtung steuerndes Datenverarbeitungsnetzwerk aufweist, wobei die Transporteinrichtung und jede der Zuführeinrichtungen jeweils mit einem elektrischen Antriebsmotor und einer die elektrische Energiezufuhr zu dem Antriebsmotor steuernden Motorsteuereinheit versehen ist, deren jede einen Knoten des Netzwerks bildet, der Datentelegramme aus dem Netzwerk empfängt und an das Netzwerk aussendet, sowie auf eine hierfür geeignete Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a method for driving control of an apparatus for producing printed products composed of a plurality of partial products, comprising a conveying means transporting along a conveying path, a plurality of feeders corresponding to the plurality of the divided products, of which the part products are spaced apart along the conveying path Provided in an order corresponding to the printed matter in the conveyor can be fed, and having a data processing network controlling the operation of the device, wherein the transport device and each of the feeders is provided with an electric drive motor and a motor control unit controlling the electrical power supply to the drive motor, each of forms a node of the network which receives data telegrams from the network and sends them out to the network, as well as to a suitable device for this purpose ichtung.

Bei einem derartigen bekannten Verfahren, das zur Antriebssteuerung eines Sammelhefters dient ( EP 0 917 965 B1 ), wird der synchrone Betrieb der Einzelkomponenten des Sammelhefters dadurch gewährleistet, daß unmittelbar zwischen den Motorsteuereinheiten ein bidirektionaler Austausch von Nachrichten stattfindet. Jede Motorsteuereinheit muß dabei die Fähigkeit aufweisen, auf die von den anderen Motorsteuereinheiten empfangenen Nachrichten angemessen zu reagieren. Tritt beispielsweise in einer der Motorsteuereinheiten ein Fehler auf, der in einer von dieser Motorsteuereinheit ausgesendeten Nachricht mitgeteilt wird, müssen die anderen Motorsteuereinheiten entscheiden, ob die von ihnen gesteuerten Antriebsmotore gestoppt werden müssen.In such a known method, which serves to drive control of a saddle stitcher ( EP 0 917 965 B1 ), the synchronous operation of the individual components of the saddle stitcher is ensured by the fact that a bidirectional exchange of messages takes place directly between the engine control units. Each engine control unit must have the ability to respond appropriately to the messages received from the other engine control units. For example, if an error occurs in one of the engine control units that is reported in a message sent by that engine control unit, the other engine control units must decide whether to stop the drive engines they are controlling.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein demgegenüber einfacheres Verfahren zur Antriebssteuerung zu schaffen und eine hierfür geeignete Vorrichtung anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a contrast simpler method of drive control and specify a device suitable for this purpose.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe hinsichtlich des Verfahrens dadurch gelöst, daß das Netzwerk einen koordinierenden Knoten aufweist, der Datentelegramme aus dem Netzwerk empfängt und an das Netzwerk aussendet, daß der koordinierende Knoten die von ihm ausgesendeten Datentelegramme jeweils mit einer Information versieht, die ihn als Absender und einen der die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten oder alle diese Knoten als Empfänger identifiziert, daß jeder der eine Motorsteuereinheit bildenden Knoten die von ihm ausgesendeten Datentelegramme jeweils mit einer Information versieht, die ihn als Absender und nur den koordinierenden Knoten als Empfänger identifiziert, daß durch jeden Knoten nur solche Datentelegramme empfangen werden, in denen er als Empfänger identifiziert ist, und daß jeder der eine Motorsteuereinheit bildenden Knoten Datentelegramme nur dann aussendet, wenn er durch ein empfangenes Datentelegramm dazu aufgefordert wird.According to the invention, this object is achieved in terms of the method in that the network has a coordinating node that receives data telegrams from the network and sends to the network that the coordinating node provides the data telegrams sent by him in each case with information that uses him as the sender and identifies one of the engine control units forming nodes or all these nodes as a receiver, that each of the engine control unit forming the data telegrams sent by him each with an information that identifies him as the sender and only the coordinating node as a receiver, that by each node only such data telegrams are received, in which it is identified as a receiver, and that each of the engine control unit forming node sends data telegrams only if it is requested by a received data telegram.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Gestaltung des Verfahrens sendet also der koordinierende Knoten Datentelegramme aus, in denen alle anderen, eine Motorsteuereinheit bildenden Knoten oder jeweils einer dieser Knoten als Empfänger des ausgesendeten Datentelegramms identifiziert sind. Hierdurch wird das von dem koordinierenden Knoten ausgesendete Datentelegramm ausschließlich von dem oder den darin als Empfänger identifizierten Knoten empfangen. Die die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten senden nur dann ein Datentelegramm aus, wenn sie ein eine Sendeaufforderung enthaltendes Datentelegramm vom koordinierenden Knoten empfangen haben. Sie versehen die ausgesendeten Datentelegramme jeweils mit einer Information, die sie als Absender identifiziert und ausschließlich den koordinierenden Knoten als Empfänger identifiziert. Auf diese Weise teilt allein der koordinierende Knoten den anderen Knoten die Berechtigung zum Senden von Datentelegrammen zu. Gleichzeitig ist gewährleistet, daß die von den die Motorsteuerungen bildenden Knoten ausgesendeten Datentelegramme ausschließlich von dem koordinierenden Knoten empfangen werden, welcher seinerseits jedoch Datentelegramme aussendet, die wahlweise von allen oder von nur einem der die Motorsteuerungen bildenden Knoten empfangen werden. Durch die von dem koordinierenden Knoten ausgesendeten Datentelegramme können somit die Bewegungsphasen der Zuführeinrichtungen mit der Bewegungsphase der Fördereinrichtung derart koordiniert werden, daß die Teilprodukte lagerichtig an die Fördereinrichtung übergeben werden und dadurch die Teilerzeugnisse nacheinander längs des Förderweges zur Bildung der beabsichtigten Druckerzeugnisse zusammengeführt werden. Wenn beispielsweise an einem der die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten eine Störung auftritt, teilt der gestörte Knoten diese Störung dem koordinierenden Knoten ansprechend auf dessen einer zyklischen Abfrage aller Knoten dienenden Datentelegramme durch ein ausgesendetes Datentelegramm mit. Ansprechend auf den Empfang dieses Datentelegramms trifft sodann der koordinierende Knoten die Entscheidung über die in Abhängigkeit von der mitgeteilten Störung an den die Motorsteuerungen bildenden Knoten zu treffenden Maßnahmen und gibt entsprechende Datentelegramme aus, die von den die Motorsteuerungen bildenden Knoten empfangen werden und dort den Maßnahmen entsprechende Aktionen auslösen, im einfachsten Fall beispielsweise eine selektive oder vollständige Abschaltung aller Antriebsmotore.In the design of the method according to the invention, therefore, the coordinating node transmits data telegrams in which all other nodes forming a motor control unit or in each case one of these nodes are identified as receivers of the transmitted data telegram. As a result, the data telegram transmitted by the coordinating node is received exclusively by the node (s) identified therein as the receiver. The nodes forming the engine control units only transmit a data telegram if they have received a data telegram containing a transmission request from the coordinating node. They each provide the transmitted data telegrams with information that identifies them as sender and identifies only the coordinating node as the recipient. In this way, only the coordinating node authorizes the other node to send data telegrams to. At the same time, it is ensured that the data telegrams sent by the nodes forming the motor controls are received exclusively by the coordinating node, which in turn, however, transmits data telegrams which are received selectively by all or only one of the nodes forming the motor controls. By means of the data telegrams transmitted by the coordinating node, the movement phases of the feeders can thus be coordinated with the movement phase of the conveyor so that the partial products are transferred in the correct position to the conveyor, thereby bringing the partial products together successively along the conveying path to form the intended printed products. For example, if a fault occurs at one of the engine control units forming nodes, the faulty node notifies the coordinating node to the coordinating node in response to its cyclically polling of all nodes serving data telegrams by a transmitted data telegram. In response to the reception of this data telegram, the coordinating node then makes the decision about the measures to be taken in response to the notified disturbance at the nodes forming the motor controls and outputs corresponding data telegrams which are received by the nodes forming the motor controls and corresponding there to the measures Trigger actions, in the simplest case, for example, a selective or complete shutdown of all drive motors.

Bei diesem erfindungsgemäßen Grundprinzip senden also die die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten nur solche Datentelegramme aus, in denen der koordinierende Knoten als Empfänger identifiziert ist, wogegen der koordinierende Knoten in seinen Datentelegrammen sowohl jeweils einen einzelnen Knoten als auch alle Knoten als Empfänger identifizieren kann. Dieses Prinzip wird in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform dahingehend modifiziert, daß genau einer der die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten die von ihm ausgesendeten Datentelegramme wahlweise mit einer Information versieht, die alle anderen Knoten als Empfänger identifiziert.In this basic principle according to the invention, therefore, the nodes forming the motor control units only send data telegrams in which the coordinating node is identified as the recipient, whereas the coordinating node can identify both individual nodes and all nodes as recipients in its data telegrams. This principle is modified in an advantageous embodiment to the effect that exactly one of the engine control units forming nodes selectively provides the data telegrams sent by him with information that identifies all other nodes as recipients.

Dieser eine Motorsteuereinheit bildende Knoten, der gegenüber den anderen, Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten die Besonderheit aufweist, daß er ebenso wie der koordinierende Knoten Datentelegramme auch an alle anderen Knoten versenden kann, kann zweckmäßig als Leitwertgeber dienen, indem in diesen an alle anderen Knoten ausgesendeten Datentelegrammen jeweils eine der Drehposition des betreffenden Antriebsmotors entsprechende Information als Leitwert für die Antriebsmotore aller anderen Knoten übertragen wird. Zweckmäßigerweise wird der die Motorsteuereinheit des Antriebsmotors der Transporteinrichtung bildende Knoten als ein solcher Leitwertgeber eingesetzt.This forming a motor control unit node, which has the special feature over the other, engine control units forming node that he as well as the coordinating node can send data telegrams to all other nodes, can serve as a Leitwertgeber useful by these sent to all other nodes data telegrams each one of the rotational position of the respective drive motor corresponding information is transmitted as conductance for the drive motors of all other nodes. The node forming the engine control unit of the drive motor of the transport device is expediently used as such a master value transmitter.

Auch bei dieser besonderen Ausbildung, bei der sowohl der koordinierende Knoten als auch genau ein eine Motorsteuereinheit bildender, besonderer Knoten Datentelegramme an alle anderen Knoten senden können, findet kein bidirektionaler Datenverkehr zwischen den die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten statt. Der besondere Knoten überträgt lediglich unidirektional Datentelegramme, die insbesondere eine Leitwertinformation enthalten, an die übrigen Knoten, die ihrerseits Datentelegramme ausschließlich an den koordinierenden Knoten übertragen.Also in this particular embodiment, where both the coordinating node and one particular engine controller forming special node can send data telegrams to all other nodes, there is no bidirectional traffic between the nodes forming the engine controllers. The particular node transmits only unidirectional data telegrams, which in particular contain conductance information, to the remaining nodes, which in turn transmit data telegrams exclusively to the coordinating nodes.

In vorrichtungsmäßiger Hinsicht wird die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von aus einer Mehrzahl von Teilerzeugnissen zusammengesetzten Druckerzeugnissen, mit einer längs eines Förderweges transportierenden Transporteinrichtung, einer der Mehrzahl der Teilerzeugnisse entsprechenden Mehrzahl von Zuführeinrichtungen, von denen die Teilerzeugnisse an längs des Förderweges voneinander beabstandeten Stellen in einer dem Druckerzeugnis entsprechenden Reihenfolge in die Fördereinrichtung einspeisbar sind, und einem den Betriebsablauf der Vorrichtung steuernden Datenverarbeitungsnetzwerk, wobei die Transporteinrichtung und jede der Zuführeinrichtungen jeweils einen elektrischen Antriebsmotor und eine die elektrische Energiezufuhr zu dem Antriebsmotor steuernde Motorsteuereinheit aufweist, deren jede einen Knoten des Netzwerks bildet, von dem Datentelegramme aus dem Netzwerk empfangbar und an das Netzwerk aussendbar sind, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß das Netzwerk einen koordinierenden Knoten aufweist, von dem Datentelegramme aus dem Netzwerk empfangbar und an das Netzwerk aussendbar sind, daß in dem koordinierenden Knoten und in jedem der die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten jeweils eine ihn in dem Netzwerk eindeutig identifizierende Information gespeichert ist, daß durch den koordinierenden Knoten die von ihm ausgesendeten Datentelegramme jeweils mit einer Information versehbar sind, die ihn als Absender und einen der die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten oder alle diese Knoten als Empfänger identifiziert, daß durch jeden der eine Motorsteuereinheit bildenden Knoten die von ihm ausgesendeten Datentelegramme jeweils mit einer Information versehbar sind, die ihn als Absender und nur den koordinierenden Knoten als Empfänger identifiziert, daß durch jeden Knoten nur solche Datentelegramme empfangbar sind, in denen er als Empfänger identifiziert ist, und daß durch jeden der eine Motorsteuereinheit bildenden Knoten Datentelegramme nur dann aussendbar sind, wenn er durch ein empfangenes Datentelegramm dazu aufgefordert wird.In terms of the device, the object underlying the invention is achieved by a device for producing printed products composed of a plurality of partial products, having a conveying device transporting along a conveying path, a plurality of feeders corresponding to a plurality of the divided products, of which the partial products are along the conveying path and the operation of the device controlling data processing network, wherein the transport device and each of the feeders each having an electric drive motor and an electric power supply to the drive motor controlling engine control unit, each having a Node of the network, from which data telegrams from the network can be received and sent to the network, which thereby characterized in that the network comprises a coordinating node, from which data telegrams are receivable from the network and can be sent to the network, that in the coordinating node and in each of the nodes forming the motor control units, an information uniquely identifying it in the network is stored in each case, in that the data telegrams transmitted by the coordinating node are each providable with information identifying it as sender and one of the nodes forming the motor control units or all these nodes as receivers, by each of the data telegrams transmitted by each of the motor control unit forming nodes are identifiable with information that identifies him as the sender and only the coordinating node as a receiver, that only such data telegrams can be received by each node in which it is identified as a receiver, and that by each of the one Motorsteuereinh eit forming node data telegrams can only be sent if it is requested by a received data telegram to do so.

Dabei kann die jeden Knoten identifizierende Information durch die jeweilige Hardwareadresse einer in der jeweiligen Motorsteuereinheit vorgesehenen Netzwerkkarte handeln. Die Hardwareadressen bekannter Netzwerkkarten sind in den Netzwerkkarten gespeichert und in dem Sinne eindeutig, daß keine Netzwerkkarte dieselbe Hardwareadresse hat wie eine andere. Es ist jedoch zweckmäßig, jede Motorsteuereinheit zusätzlich mit einer Kodierschalteranordnung zu versehen, durch die manuell eine individuelle Knotennummer eingestellt werden kann. Dann kann der koordinierende Knoten beim Hochlauf der Vorrichtung die Motorsteuereinheiten anhand der eingestellten Knotennummern identifizieren und den jeweils identifizierten Knoten dazu auffordern, ein seine Hardwareadresse enthaltendes Datentelegramm an den koordinierenden Knoten auszusenden. Dadurch ist es nicht erforderlich, die Hardwareadressen in den koordinierenden Knoten manuell einzuspeichern.In this case, the information identifying each node can act through the respective hardware address of a network card provided in the respective engine control unit. The hardware addresses of known network cards are stored in the network cards and in the sense that no network card has the same hardware address as another. However, it is expedient to provide each engine control unit additionally with a Kodierschalteranordnung by manually an individual node number can be set. Then, when the device starts up, the coordinating node can identify the engine control units based on the set node numbers and request the respective identified node to send a data telegram containing its hardware address to the coordinating node. This eliminates the need to manually store the hardware addresses in the coordinating node.

Sowohl für das Verfahren als auch die Vorrichtung ist es zweckmäßig, daß das Netzwerk eine Bus-Topologie aufweist. Alle Knoten des Netzwerkes befinden sich dann in den von dem Bus gebildeten Netzwerkstrang.For both the method and the device, it is desirable for the network to have a bus topology. All nodes of the network are then in the network thread formed by the bus.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Antriebssteuerung kann mit Vorteil in einem Sammelhefter angewendet werden, bei dem die Transporteinrichtung eine Sammelkette und die Zuführeinrichtungen Bogenanleger sind. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Antriebssteuerung werden die Antriebsmotore der Sammelkette und der Zuführeinrichtungen derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß jeweils eine in Transportrichtung stromabwärts angeordnete Zuführeinrichtung die Bogen derart an die Sammelkette übergibt, daß sie auf von einer demgegenüber stromaufwärts angeordneten Zuführeinrichtung übergebenen Bogen zu liegen kommen und dadurch in bekannter Weise von innen nach außen gesammelt werden.The drive control method according to the invention can be advantageously used in a saddle stitcher in which the transport device is a gathering chain and the feeders are sheet feeders. By the drive control according to the invention, the drive motors of the gathering chain and the feeders are coordinated such that each one downstream in the feed direction the sheet passes to the gathering chain so that they come to lie on a contrast arranged upstream feeding device bow and thereby in a known Be collected from the inside out.

Bekanntlich weisen Sammelhefter eine stromabwärts der Zuführeinrichtungen angeordnete Heftstation auf, mit der die gesammelten Bogen geheftet werden. In diesem Fall ist zweckmäßig vorgesehen, daß einer der die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten den Antriebsmotor einer Heftstation des Sammelhefters steuert.As is known, saddle stitchers have a stitching station arranged downstream of the feeders, with which the collected sheets are stapled. In this case, it is expedient for one of the nodes forming the engine control units to control the drive motor of a stitching station of the saddle stitcher.

Weiterhin ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Antriebssteuerung einer Einsteckmaschine geeignet, bei der die Transporteinrichtung eine Taschenkette und die Zuführeinrichtungen Anleger sind, mit denen die Teilprodukte in die Taschen übergeben werden. Auch hier wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Antriebssteuerung der Betrieb der Antriebsmotore der Taschenkette und der Anleger derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß in der Transportrichtung stromabwärtige Anleger den von stromaufwärtigen Anlegern mit Teilerzeugnissen beschickten Taschen die für das zusammengesetzte Druckerzeugnis noch benötigten weiteren Teilerzeugnisse zuführen.Furthermore, the method according to the invention is suitable for driving control of a plug-in machine, in which the transport device is a pocket chain and the feed devices are feeders with which the partial products are transferred into the pockets. Again, by the drive control according to the invention, the operation of the drive motors of the bag chain and the investor tuned to each other so that in the direction of transport downstream investors fed the upstream investors with sub-products loaded pockets still required for the composite printed product further sub-products.

Falls stromabwärts einer dieser Vorrichtungen eine Schneidstation zum Seitenbeschnitt der zusammengesetzten Druckerzeugnisse angeordnet ist, kann auch eine ihren Antriebsmotor steuernde Motorsteuereinheit einen Knoten des Datenverarbeitungsnetzwerkes bilden und wie die anderen, Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten in die erfindungsgemäße Antriebssteuerung einbezogen werden.If, downstream of one of these devices, a cutting station is arranged for side trimming of the composite printed products, a motor control unit controlling its drive motor can also form a node of the data processing network and like the other motor control unit forming nodes can be included in the drive control according to the invention.

In der folgenden Beschreibung wird die Erfindung anhand einer einzigen Zeichnungsfigur beispielhaft erläutert. Diese Figur zeigt schematisch ein eine Bus-Topologie aufweisendes Datenverarbeitungsnetzwerk, dessen Bus mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 bezeichnet ist. Mit dem Bus 1 sind ein koordinierender Knoten 2 und n weitere Knoten 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n gekoppelt. Hierzu weisen der koordinierende Knoten 2 und jeder der weiteren Knoten 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n jeweils eine Netzwerkkarte auf, in deren jeder eine die Netzwerkkarte in dem Netzwerk eindeutig identifizierende Hardwareadresse gespeichert ist.In the following description, the invention will be explained by way of example with reference to a single drawing figure. This figure shows schematically a bus topology having data processing network whose bus is designated by the reference numeral 1. A coordinating node 2 and n further nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ,..., 3 n-1 , 3 n are coupled to the bus 1. For this purpose, the coordinating node 2 and each of the further nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 , ..., 3 n-1 , 3 n each have a network card, in each of which a hardware address uniquely identifying the network card in the network is stored ,

Die Netzwerkkarte des koordinierenden Knotens 2 dient als Schnittstelle für die Datenübertragung zwischen dem Bus 1 und einem in dem koordinierenden Knoten 2 ablaufenden Betriebsprogramm. Die Netzwerkkarte jedes der weiteren Knoten 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n dient als Schnittstelle für die Datenübertragung zwischen dem Bus 1 und einer in jedem dieser weiteren Knoten jeweils vorgesehenen Motorsteuereinheit.The network card of the coordinating node 2 serves as an interface for the data transmission between the bus 1 and an operating program running in the coordinating node 2. The network card of each of the further nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ,..., 3 n-1 , 3 n serves as an interface for the data transmission between the bus 1 and an engine control unit respectively provided in each of these further nodes.

Jede Netzwerkkarte weist eine Sende/Empfangseinrichtung auf, bei der es sich um einen bekannten Ethernet-PHY handeln kann, mit dem Datentelegramme an das Netzwerk ausgesendet und aus dem Netzwerk empfangen werden. Ferner ist jede Netzwerkkarte mit zwei Ports und einem die Datentelegramme zwischen den Ports weiterleitenden HUB versehen, so daß benachbarte Knoten in Linienverkabelung direkt miteinander verbunden werden können.Each network card has a transmitting / receiving device, which may be a known Ethernet PHY, are sent with the data telegrams to the network and received from the network. Furthermore, each network card is provided with two ports and a HUB forwarding the data telegrams between the ports, so that adjacent nodes in line cabling can be connected directly to each other.

Jede der Motorsteuereinheiten steuert die elektrische Energiezufuhr zu einem ihr zugeordneten elektrischen Antriebsmotor. Einer dieser Antriebsmotore, beispielsweise der von dem Knoten 3n-1 gesteuerte Antriebsmotor, bildet den Hauptantrieb für eine längs eines Förderweges transportierende Transporteinrichtung, beispielsweise die umlaufende Sammelkette eines Sammelhefters oder die umlaufende Taschenkette einer Einsteckmaschine. Jeder der von den Knoten 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n gesteuerten Antriebsmotore treibt jeweils eine Zuführeinrichtung an, mit welcher der Transporteinrichtung Teilerzeugnisse zusammengesetzter Druckerzeugnisse an längs ihres Förderweges voneinander beabstandeten Stellen zugeführt werden. Diese Art der Bildung zusammengesetzter Druckerzeugnisse durch Sammeln oder Einstecken ist dem Fachmann allgemein bekannt, weswegen an dieser Stelle auf eine weitergehende Erläuterung verzichtet wird. Der durch den verbleibenden Knoten 3n gesteuerte Antriebsmotor veranschaulicht beispielhaft den Antrieb einer im Falle eines Sammelhefters vorgesehenen Heftstation und/oder einer der Einsteckmaschine nachgeschalteten Schneidstation.Each of the engine control units controls the electrical power supply to an associated electric drive motor. One of these drive motors, for example the drive motor controlled by the node 3 n-1 , forms the main drive for a transport device transporting along a conveying path, for example the circulating collecting chain of a saddle stitcher or the circulating pocket chain of a inserting machine. Each of the drive motors controlled by the nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ,..., 3 n-1 , 3 n respectively drives a feed device with which the transport device is supplied with partial products of composite printed products at locations spaced apart along their conveying path. This type of formation of composite printed products by collecting or inserting is generally known to the person skilled in the art, which is why this Place is waived further explanation. The drive motor controlled by the remaining node 3 n exemplifies the drive of a stitching station provided in the case of a saddle stitcher and / or a cutting station connected downstream of the inserting machine.

Der koordinierende Knoten 2 sendet unter der Steuerung des in ihm laufenden Betriebsprogramms über seine Netzwerkkarte Datentelegramme an den Bus 1 aus, in denen er sich durch die Angabe seiner Hardwareadresse als Absender des Datentelegramms identifiziert. Außerdem identifiziert er in jedem dieser von ihm ausgesendeten Datentelegramme einen der weiteren Knoten 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n als Empfänger, indem er dessen Hardwareadresse angibt, oder identifiziert alle diese Knoten als Empfänger, indem er eine in dem System festgelegte Sammeladresse angibt.The coordinating node 2 sends out, under the control of the operating program running in it, via its network card data telegrams to the bus 1, in which it identifies itself by specifying its hardware address as the sender of the data telegram. In addition, in each of these data telegrams it sends, it identifies one of the further nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 , ..., 3 n-1 , 3 n as a receiver by specifying its hardware address, or identifies all these nodes as receivers by specifying a collection address specified in the system.

Die Netzwerkkarten der die Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n prüfen die Empfängeradressen, die in den auf den Bus 1 ausgegebenen Datentelegrammen enthalten sind. Wenn die in dem Datentelegramm angegebene Empfängeradresse nicht mit der Hardwareadresse der betreffenden Netzwerkkarte oder der Sammeladresse übereinstimmt, sperrt die Netzwerkkarte den Empfang dieses Datentelegramms.The network cards of the motor control units forming nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 , ..., 3 n-1 , 3 n examine the receiver addresses contained in the data telegrams output on the bus 1. If the recipient address specified in the data telegram does not match the hardware address of the relevant network card or the collective address, the network card blocks the reception of this data telegram.

Wenn infolge einer Übereinstimmung mit der Sammeladresse oder der individuellen Hardwareadresse des betreffenden Knotens das Datentelegramm empfangen wird, leitet die Netzwerkkarte die in dem Datentelegramm enthaltene Information an die ihr zugeordnete Motorsteuereinheit weiter. Diese Information kann beispielsweise eine von dem koordinierenden Knoten 1 an die Motorsteuereinheit des betreffenden Knotens 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n ausgesendete Führungsgröße für den Antriebsmotor sein, durch die dieser Antriebsmotor beispielsweise dazu veranlaßt wird, eine bestimmte Drehposition in bezug auf die Drehposition eines der anderen Antriebsmotore einzunehmen. Es kann aber auch eine Aufforderung an diesen Knoten sein, ein Datentelegramm auszusenden, in dem eine Zustandsinformation der Motorsteuerung mitgeteilt wird, die beispielsweise die momentane Drehposition oder auch einen Fehlerzustand des betreffenden Antriebsmotors beinhaltet.If the data message is received as a result of a match with the collective address or the individual hardware address of the relevant node, the network card forwards the information contained in the data message to its associated engine control unit. This information can be, for example, a command variable emitted by the coordinating node 1 to the motor control unit of the relevant node 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ,..., 3 n-1 , 3 n for the drive motor, by which this drive motor causes it, for example is to take a certain rotational position with respect to the rotational position of one of the other drive motors. But it can also be a request to this node to send out a data message in which a state information of the engine control is communicated, which includes, for example, the current rotational position or an error state of the respective drive motor.

Mit Ausnahme des den Hauptantrieb steuernden Knotens 3n-1 können die Netzwerkkarten der anderen, Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten 31, 32, 33, 3n-2, 3n nur die individuelle Hardwareadresse des koordinierenden Knotens 2 als Empfängeradresse angeben mit der Folge, daß die von ihnen ausgesendeten Datentelegramme nur von dem koordinierenden Knoten 2 empfangen werden. Lediglich der den Hauptantrieb steuernde Knoten 3n-1, kann wahlweise die von ihm ausgesendeten Datentelegramme auch mit der Sammeladresse als Empfängerangabe versehen, so daß sie von allen anderen, Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten empfangen werden können. Hierdurch ist es insbesondere möglich, daß der Hauptantrieb seine momentane Drehposition an alle anderen Antriebsmotore als Leitwert weitergibt. Ebenso wie alle anderen, Motorsteuereinheiten bildenden Knoten sendet der dem Hauptantrieb zugeordnete Knoten 3n-1 Datentelegramme nur dann auf den Bus 1 aus, wenn er durch vom koordinierenden Knoten 2 empfangene Telegramme dazu aufgefordert wird.With the exception of the main drive controlling node 3 n-1 , the network cards of the other motor control unit forming nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 , 3 n-2 , 3 n may indicate only the individual hardware address of the coordinating node 2 as the receiver address, with the result in that the data telegrams transmitted by them are received only by the coordinating node 2. Only the node 3 n-1 controlling the main drive can optionally also transmit the data telegrams transmitted by it with the collective address provided as a receiver indication, so that they can be received by all other, engine control units forming nodes. This makes it possible, in particular, that the main drive transmits its current rotational position to all other drive motors as a guide value. Like all other nodes forming motor control units, the node 3 assigned to the main drive sends n-1 data telegrams to the bus 1 only when requested to do so by telegrams received from the coordinating node 2.

Der vorstehend dargelegte Betriebsablauf setzt voraus, daß der koordinierende Knoten 2 die Hardwareadressen der Netzwerkkarten aller weiteren Knoten 31, 32, 33, ..., 3n-1, 3n kennt. Deshalb ist in dem erörterten Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, daß jede Netzwerkkarte zusätzlich mit einer Kodierschalteranordnung versehen ist, auf der manuell eine beispielsweise zweistellige hexadezimale Knotennummer eingestellt werden kann. Dann kann der koordinierende Knoten 2 beim Systemhochlauf durch die Aussendung von Datentelegrammen, die als Empfängeridentifikation die Sammeladresse enthalten, die zu jeder Knotennummer gehörende Hardwareadresse der betreffenden Netzwerkkarte abfragen und erhält dadurch die für den weiteren Betriebsablauf erforderliche Adresseninformation.The above-described operation assumes that the coordinating node 2 knows the hardware addresses of the network cards of all other nodes 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 , ..., 3 n-1 , 3 n . Therefore, it is provided in the embodiment discussed that each network card is additionally provided with a Kodierschalteranordnung on which manually, for example, a two-digit hexadecimal node number can be set. Then the coordinating node 2 at system startup by the transmission of data telegrams containing the receiver address as the collection address, query the hardware node belonging to each node number of the relevant network card and thereby receives the information required for the further operation address information.
