METHOD FOR PRODUCING PACKAGING BY MEANS OF A PACKING MACHINE

The invention relates to a method for producing packaging, in particular tubular bags, by means of a packaging machine (1) having a PLC control (20), said packaging machine (1) comprising several electronic drive units (3, 6), which are capable of being controlled independently of each other, are controlled by the PLC control (20) and can drive the different functional elements (8) of the packaging machine (1) in a manner synchronous to a clock cycle when trailing predefined movement trajectories, and several setting parameters of the production process, in particular the number of objects to be packed per time unit, the packaging dimensions, the sealing times, being predefined, the capturing of the setting parameters at the PLC control (20), which controls the drive units (3, 6) of the packaging machine (1), being followed by the transfer of the setting parameters from the PLC control (20) to a PC control (23).
