Abstract (en)
A filling machine (1) has: a number of filling units (10) designed to engage at least one container (2) to carry out filling thereof with a filling product, each filling unit (10) provided with a respective decentralized control unit (12) configured to control filling operations thereof; a central control unit (20) to control execution of the processing operations by the filling units (10); and a digital data communication bus (16), communicatively coupling the decentralized control units (12) of the filling units (10) to the central control unit (20), to carry control signals from the central control unit (20) to the filling units (10) and feedback detection signals from the filling units (10) to the central control unit (20). The central control unit (20) is provided with a buffer memory (30), to store, for each filling unit (10) a buffer (31) of detection data associated to the feedback detection signals during the filling operations.
