Abstract:
1. A device that monitors and controls a machine having at least one mold device comprising a top mold part and a bottom mold part disposed on a mold base which is supported on a vibrating table, comprising at least two sensors for recording measurement variables comprising motion variables selected from a group consisting of frequency of vibration, amplitude of vibration, duration of vibration and pressing power with which the top part of the mold device acts on the bottom part of the mold and an electronic control loop that evaluates the recorded measurement variables and correspondingly controls machine components which influence the measurement variables, wherein at least one sensor has its own power source which is fed by a generator that converts motion energy into electrical energy, wherein at least one sensor comprises a processor for processing data determined by the at least one sensor itself or data determined by another sensor, wherein the device is adapted to exchange data wirelessly between the sensors and the electronic control loop via at least one of a transmitting device and a receiving device, and wherein the at least one sensor comprises a data memory for storing at least one of data determined by the at least one sensor itself and data determined by another sensor.
