Abstract
A filling line is provided and includes a first filling machine having a first machine controller, and one or more second filling machines having a second machine controller, which is selectively operable independently of the first filling machine. The filling line also includes a data interface for connecting the machine controllers to each other for control communication. The machine controllers are configured to be operated reciprocally either in a slave control mode or in a master control mode, depending on control information provided. The slave control mode transmits read and write rights in respect of recipe-relevant process parameters to the machine controller operated in the master control mode, and the master control mode implements the transferred read and write rights in the machine controller operated in the master control mode. A method for operating such a filling line is also provided.
