Abstract:
1. A method for interactive control of a plastics material injection molding machine, where, via an input unit, which is provided with actuating fields, operating parameters necessary for an operating sequence of a machine are input, in a form which prompts an operator, into a data processing unit which stores these operating parameters, and subsequently one or more operating sequences are carried out in accordance with the stored operating parameters, the method comprising: recording a data set covering basic rules of the operating sequence of the machine in the data processing unit and, by using the data set, providing the operator on a graphical user interface with visualization of a selected choice of input possibilities, based on a machine configuration and a machine environment, for additional parts of the operating sequence that can be added in a compatible manner into existing parts of the operating sequence; providing to an operator, for manual input and/or for input by means of a manipulator, on the graphical user interface a selected choice of actuating fields corresponding to the additional parts of the operating sequence and for navigation on a navigation surface statically arranged on the graphical user interface;
