Abstract

An operating unit includes a touch-sensitive display screen for displaying an operating program, a control or regulating unit for communicating operating signals to injection molding machine elements, and the operating program is stored in the control or regulating unit, and at least one operating button, upon the actuation of which the control or regulating unit triggers an action of an injection molding machine element. The operating program has a hierarchical system architecture with at least one upper installation-specific level and an upper task-specific level. A selection can be made between different installation regions in the installation-specific central level, between different task regions in the task-specific central level, and a plurality of sublevels. Process-relevant program pages associated only with the selected installation region or only with the selected task region can be displayed in each selected sublevel.
