Definitions

  • the invention relates to a controller for rotary printing presses in a unit design with decentralized drives according to the preamble of the first claim.
  • Each unit of a rotary printing press with decentralized drives represents a definable structural and functional unit with local (decentralized) control and its own local (decentralized) drives, which are synchronized across aggregates by a master computer in cooperation with a central machine control.
  • the control of rotary printing presses generally runs at least hierarchically two control levels: in the unit control and in the subordinate drive control.
  • the second control unit is used for redundant control and monitoring the protection and safety functions by correcting the first control unit Processing of protection and security signals checked.
  • PLC programmable controls
  • EP 1031 420 A1 describes a monitoring system for safety-related processes on actuating and drive elements, which uses safety input devices to decentrally detect safety-relevant states at the point of origin and forwards them to additional decentralized safety monitoring controls, which can be assigned to these actuating and drive elements.
  • DE 19529430 it is known to extend the drive control by means of error analysis functions.
  • This document describes a safety module belonging to the drive system, which is used for fault detection and diagnosis for all functions belonging to the drive system (e.g. encoder failure, excessive motor current, collision considerations).
  • Angle-dependent unit functions pressure switching, sheet guidance
  • angle processing units electronic cam switches
  • Decentralized drives or individual drives and procedures for their synchronization are according to generally known in the current state of the art (e.g. DE 19626287).
  • Such a drive consists essentially of a motor with drive controller, one with the drive shaft connected high-resolution rotary encoder and a programmable electronic Drive control unit.
  • the drive control units are in turn PLCs, all of which are directly necessary for the drive Control functions such as B. acceleration and braking ramps or position control of the drive shaft of the motor according to a specified function (virtual leading axis, following axis control) To run.
  • Unit control units and drive control units communicate via bus systems or networks and are subordinate to the central machine control and the host computer.
  • a disadvantage of this control architecture is the high outlay on control units and angle encoders.
  • the object of the invention is the control systems to simplify cost-saving.
  • the decentralized drives must meet high demands with regard to constant speed or position accuracy are sufficient and therefore have powerful drive control units.
  • the invention now uses those that are always present in the drive control units Capacity reserves to the functions of the genset control, which over the immediate Drive functions go beyond to implement in the drive control units and thus reduce the hardware effort and minimize signal runtimes.
  • the high accuracy of the decentralized rotary angle encoders in the decentralized drives enables the separate rotary angle encoders of the central machine control to be saved and the pulse control of the units to be implemented on the basis of the clock signals generated in the decentralized drive controls.
  • the decentralized distribution of the angle processing functions which are assigned directly to the individual units performing these functions and their control units, results in the known advantages of distributed control functions: reduced wiring, clear structuring of the control functions, saving of communication times, etc.
  • the first unit control unit 4.1 in each case is, for example with two subordinate drive control units 6.1,6.2 from two decentralized drives 5.1,5.2 connected in this printing unit (e.g. a drive for the sheet-guiding cylinders and a separate drive for the plate, rubber and / or one or more of the The inking cylinder).
  • Each drive control unit 6 comprises a PLC for the aggregate-specific drive control (e.g. for acceleration and braking ramps), a drive controller, a power electronics part and inputs and outputs for the control signals.
  • the PLC of the drive control points the signal and bus inputs and outputs E, A required for communication (Fig. 2).
  • a drive motor 8 is assigned to each of the drive control units 6. Integrated in the engine 8 or a rotary encoder 9 is arranged on the shaft driven by the motor 8, which transmits the position information about the driven assembly to the drive control.
  • the rotation angle signals are initially in a known manner used for position control of the drive motor 8.
  • the used on decentralized drives Rotation angle sensors 9 already have the very high resolution of rotation angle sensors for the central clock control and synchronization of the printing press units.
  • the subject of the invention therefore includes that according to the prior art from a separate Angle processing unit 7 (electronic cam switch) within the central Machine control required for the unit control in the individual units Have the decentralized drive control generate clock signals directly on site. Is to just a program module for freely programmable angle processing in the drive control units 6 record.
  • the angle of rotation-dependent Control signals (clock signals) for the clock control of the unit functions be made available directly by the drive control of the respective unit. This means there is no additional hardware for central angle detection and processing necessary.
  • Another application of the inventive idea leads to the integration of the otherwise in the Master computer 1 implemented synchronization functions of drives within a Aggregates and / or across aggregates in the drive control units 6 of the ones to be synchronized Drive motors 8 or units DW1, DW2, so that the drive control units 6.11,6.12,6.21 form a drive control system.
  • the high-resolution required for this Angle of rotation sensors 9 are already present in the decentralized drives 5.
  • the too Synchronizing drive control units 6 are via the bus system 2, which carries the synchronization signals transmits, among themselves and connected to the host computer 1, the only partial functions according to the control task (e.g. specification of the virtual Leading axis).
  • the control task e.g. specification of the virtual Leading axis
  • a further expansion of the functional scope of the drive control units 6 with control functions that are not direct drive functions are the safety functions, such as, for. B. the monitoring and execution of occupational safety functions.
  • the safety-relevant states must be read in at two independent inputs and processed independently in mutually independent safety modules.
  • double safety contacts on the circuit breakers for triggering the safety-relevant signals separate signal inputs and 2 independent safety modules processing safety signals in separate control units for parallel processing of the safety signals are required.
  • the safety-relevant process is triggered when a safety contact is triggered in just one module - either in the safety module or in the redundant safety monitoring module. In this way it can be ensured that in the event of a fault in the safety signal processing, the redundant function module triggers the safety function via the second safety contact.
  • the signal status of the safety contacts and the formed output signals of both safety modules are monitored for equality by the safety monitoring module and a fault message is output if they are not identical.
  • two drive control units 6.11,6.12 are present per unit, each of which has one of the security modules 13, 13.S for implementing the redundant security functions.
  • the redundant safety signal processing can be ensured by two decentralized control units 6.11,6.21 from different units DW1, DW2 working in parallel in the safety signal processing (FIG. 4).
  • Each safety module 13, 13.S is assigned one or more safety signal input modules 10.S by means of safety bus lines 3.S.
  • the respective safety signal input module 10.S reads the states of the emergency stop buttons, limit switches, temperature sensors or similar. 12 and transmits them via a safety-related bus system 3.S to the responsible safety module 13 in a drive control unit 6.
  • Parallel to the first safety signal the redundant safety signal is routed to a second safety signal input ES independent of the first input in a second safety signal input module 10.S and in Security monitoring module 13.S processed.
  • the safety function provided for the respective fault is activated by activating the corresponding signal outputs A from one of the two or from both safety modules 13, 13.
  • the respective first safety contacts 12 and the first safety module 13 are checked for proper function by the second safety monitoring module 13.S by comparison with the protective contact input states ES and the output signals A formed by the safety module. If there are deviations in the signal states ES or in the safety signal processing between the redundant ones Function modules occur when only one safety contact 12 is triggered or one of the two buses 3.S fails or a safety module 13, 13.S works incorrectly, an error message is output to master computer 1 and / or the press is forcibly transferred to a safe one Status.
  • Another development of the subject matter of the invention is to increase the signal transmission speed between the central machine control, the drive control units and the signal input and output modules directed by the signal transmission optically, e.g. by means of light guides. Associated with this is an advantageous one Insensitivity of the bus systems 2,3 to EMC interference.
  • control structure according to the invention is also with those in peripheral auxiliary drives existing drive control units that are not directly connected to the printing press units belong, implementable, provided they have the required power reserves - comparable to the decentralized drive control units 6 in the printing units DW1, DW2 - feature.
