Abstract:
1. A method for operating controlled machines, comprising the steps of: controlling a motion of at least one movable machine element of a machine using a motion profile specific to said motion; subdividing said motion profile of said motion of the machine into a plurality of profile segments; assigning at least one profile segment to at least one motion condition which influences said at least one profile segment, wherein said at least one motion condition is monitored at an instant of execution; assigning to said at least one motion condition at least one tripping event and at least one action event associated with said tripping event and tripped by a trippable event, wherein the at least one action event influences the at least one profile segment, such that the at least one moveable machine element follows said motion profile in a substantially jerk-free motion; and jumping between said profile segments by means of the least one motion condition, wherein a jump between said profile segments is initiated by a jump command, and wherein in response to said jump command, a new motion profile is ascertained.
