Abstract
A production machine has a controller and a plurality of components that include link addresses associated with a memory region of a separate computer that can be connected with the controller via a computer-to-computer link. Parameter data for the components are stored in the memory region. The link addresses are stored either in the components themselves or in component associated with these components. The controller accesses the link addresses and then uses the link addresses to access parameter data. The controller executes a control program to determine control commands for components, such as actuators, of the production machine, with the control commands depending on the parameter data, and transmits the control commands to the production machine.
