This setpoint is given to an input of a controller 56. The actual value of the speed of the motor 44 is fed back to another input of the controller 56. The controller 56 forms a controlled variable from the difference between the actual value and the desired value and effects a change in the speed of the motor 44 in a manner known per se.
  • a controller 57 is provided for regulating the speed of the motor 42. The controller 57 receives the actual speed values of the motors 42 and 44 as input variables as well as an additional one described below Controlled variable.

  • the microprocessor 62 calculates an additional controlled variable for the controller 59.
  • the control circuits 65 and 66 described above are each constructed according to the principle of the master / slave drive: one of the two drives to be controlled, namely the motor 44 in relation to the circuit 65 and the motor 41 in relation to the circuit 66, is called Considered master drive; consequently, an external setpoint is supplied to the respectively assigned controller, that is, controller 56 or controller 58.
  • the respective other drive, that is Motor 42 or motor 43 are then a slave drive, the speed of which is regulated as a function of the actual speed of the master drive.
  • the two control circuits 65 and 66 are thus able to control the motors 42 and 44 or 41 and 43 of the printing presses 1 and 11 with respect to their speed so that the unit 6 of the printing press 1 with the units 12 to 19 of the printing press 11th is synchronized and that the unit 8 is synchronized with the unit 5 as long as the printing press 1 works without the unit 6.

  • the exact number of the respective components depends on how many printing machines the printing press system comprises and how many motors are to be controlled in total.
  • An improvement in the control of the speed of the motor 42 can be achieved in that an electrical signal is generated by means of a sensor arranged on the coating unit 6, such as, for example, a register mark scanner 77, and a computing and control device 78 connected downstream thereof Paper web 46 corresponds to applied register marks and which is supplied to the microprocessor 61 as an additional control variable.

  • Such an improvement in the regulation of the speed of the motor 42 is particularly advantageous if the coating unit 6 is arranged at a relatively large distance from the printing press 11 and if one registering painting is of particular importance. If another unit is functionally assigned to the printing press 11 instead of the coating unit 6, the same improvement in the control can be achieved by using a different type of sensor and a correspondingly designed computing and control device.
