Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03070577A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling a packaging machine, which comprises a product conveyor for conveying a product and a packaging conveyor for conveying a packaging. Said conveyors run, in sections, parallel and synchronous to one another whereby enabling the product to be introduced into the packaging inside a transfer station. The packaging machine additionally comprises an including conveyor for including an inclusion part to be enclosed with the product, for example, a pamphlet or a measuring scoop. A data memory provided in the form of a shift register contains different state data and control data pertaining to the packaging units consisting of the product, packaging and the inclusion part. The data, at time t0, are displaced in the shift register in a clocked manner. At at least time tp, which is given by an initiator, a monitoring or processing action is initiated on the inclusion part, whereby time tp can be shifted with regard to time t0. The relative position of time tp with regard to time t0 is checked, and time tp is shifted when it is located within a tolerance period of time T formed around time t0.
