The invention relates to a method and device for controlling the operation sequences of one or several machines or one or several devices by means of a control unit embodied in the form of a man-machine interface (MMI). Operational sequences and parameters are programmed and operationally modifiable by a person or user on the operator interface of the control unit in a screen-assisting manner by means of input points. The operator interface is distributed on two controll panels. The first control panel is provided with a relatively large screen and makes it possible, first of all, to carry out a sequential programming complementary to visualising operating conditions, tables, lists etc. The second control panel is used in the form of a central function for operational interferences. The two control panels are designed in such a way that they make it possible to carry out a two-directional data exchange, thereby enabling at least one part of the input points of the second control panel to be programmable in such a way that the same input points can be automatically used for different functions and substantially reduce the number of input points on the second control panel. |
