Abstract

An arrangement for printing machine plate cylinder adjustment to zero position includes an evaluation circuit which is interposed between a potentiometer which issues an electrical signal representative of the instantaneous position of an adjustment transmission driven by a motor, and motor protection devices for the two senses of rotation of the motor. The evaluation circuit is operative for generating respective control signals for a right-hand end position, for a left-hand end position, for a right-hand switching point, and for a left-hand switching point. A resetting input of a counter incorporated in an incremental displacement measuring system is connected through a NOR-gate having inputs connected to those of the outputs of the evaluation circuit which carry the switching point control signals and through an AND-gate having inputs respectively connected to the NOR-gate output, to an input element for the zero position, and to an output of a pulse generator output which is also incorporated in the incremental displacement measuring system, to the evaluation circuit, while a counting input of the counter is directly connected to the output of the pulse generator.
