System and method for configuring and parametrizing a machine used in automation technology

This system helps engineers set up automated factory machines by letting them visually design how different parts of the machine interact. It uses a graphical interface to show the flow of signals, like position or force, between the machine's components, making the programming of complex automation processes simpler. The claims focus on a system with a programming device that models the machine's functions and their signal flow.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of digital twin technology and advanced graphical simulation tools. The rise of smart factories and more powerful computing makes building and interacting with such mechatronic models far more practical and powerful now.
