SERVICE CELL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SERVICE CELL

摘要

We have developed a method, a service cell, a device for controlling a service cell, and a computer program for better control of a service cell. The service cell comprises at least one device to be served, such as a machine tool, at least one set of manipulating means for manipulating of pieces, and at least one control unit for controlling the manipulation or machining of pieces. The machining of a piece is controlled by the control unit, state data on the state of the service cell is defined, a control symbol is selected from at least two control symbols on the basis of the state data, the control symbol is displayed to the operator by means of an active graphic element, the control symbol corresponding to a first control command, the control command is received from the operator by means of the active graphic element, and the machining of the piece is controlled on the basis of the control command.
