Abstract
A control circuit for an apparatus. The apparatus includes a heating device for preforms, a blow molding machine for producing containers from heated preforms, a first measuring device for determining an actual temperature of the heated preforms and a second measuring device for determining an actual light transmission of the containers. The control system is configured for controlling the light transmission of containers. The control system includes a first-level control circuit including a first comparator configured to determine a first control difference and a first controller configured to output a first adaptation of a process parameter of a station of the blow molding machine. The control system includes a subordinate control circuit including a second comparator configured to determine a second control difference and a second controller configured to output a second adaptation of a heating behavior of the heating device.
