METHOD FOR OPERATING A CONTAINER TREATMENT SYSTEM WITH FAULT DIAGNOSIS

摘要

Method for operating a container treatment system (1), wherein containers are treated in a first predefined fashion with a first treatment device (2) of this container treatment system (1), are subsequently transported from this first treatment device (2) to a second treatment device (4) of the container treatment system (1) and are subsequently treated in a second predefined fashion by the second treatment device (4), wherein a first multiplicity of first reference characteristic values (RK1), which are characteristic of the treatment of the containers (10) the first treatment device (2), is recorded by means of first sensor devices (22a, 24a), and a second multiplicity of second reference characteristic values (RK2), which are characteristic of the treatment of the containers (10) with the second treatment device (4), is recorded by means of second sensor devices (42a, 44a), and wherein these reference characteristic values (RK1, RK2) are stored in a memory device (16). According to the invention, the reference characteristic values (RK1, RK2) are registered with a time value which is characteristic of the chronological occurrence of the respective reference characteristic value (RK1, RK2), and a multiplicity of test characteristic values (PK1, PK2) is recorded, and at least one information item (I), which is characteristic of the determination of a present or future fault state of the system, is output on the basis of comparison between at least one of these test characteristic values (PK1, PK2) and at least one reference characteristic value (RK1, RK2).

1. A method for operating a container treatment system (1), wherein containers are treated by a first treatment device (2) of this container treatment system (1) in a first predefined manner, are subsequently transported from said first treatment device (2) to a second treatment device (4) of the container treatment system (1) and are subsequently treated by the second treatment device (4) in a second predefined manner, wherein by means of first sensor units (22a, 24a), a first plurality of first reference characteristic values (RK1) is recorded, which are characteristic of the treatment of the containers (10) with the first treatment device (2), and by means of second sensor units (42a, 44a), a second plurality of second reference characteristic values (RK2) is recorded, which are characteristic of the treatment of the containers (10) with a second treatment device (4), and wherein these reference characteristic values (RK1, RK2) are stored in a storage unit (16),
wherein the reference characteristic values (RK1, RK2) are detected with a time value that is characteristic of the temporal occurrence of the respective reference characteristic value (RK1, RK2), and a plurality of test characteristic values (PK1, PK2) is recorded, and as a result of a comparison between at least one of said test characteristic values (PK1, PK2) and at least one reference characteristic value (RK1, RK2), at least one piece of information (I) is output that is characteristic of the determination of a present or future fault condition of the system.
