Abstract

The invention relates to a container-processing system and to a method having safety-oriented management of settings for a container-processing system. The container-processing system comprises: at least one container-processing machine for processing containers, at least one container-processing machine having a type memory, in which different data sets for types of processing to be performed by the container-processing machine are stored and can be selected for processing containers; and at least one management device for managing the storing of the data set, the at least one management device being configured, in the event of the creation of one of the data set, to produce a main version (V1_A to V1_D) of the data set and to assign a status (A to D) to the main version (V1_A to V1_D), to retain the main version (V1_A to V1_D), in case a change is made to the main version (V1_A to V1_D) without a change in the status (A to D), and to additionally create, for the change to the main version (V1_A to V1_D), a secondary version (V1.1_A to V1.N_A; V1.1_B to V1.N_B; V1.1_D to V1.N_D) having the status (A to D) of the main version (V1_A to V1_D), and to set the scope of the access to th…
