A method for automatic configuration of a parameterization of machine tools or production machines

A method for automatic configuration of a configuration interface for at least one control and / or at least one controller of a machine tool or production machine, characterized in that - that during the commissioning of the machine via a data network which connects the machine components (5, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9) of the machine with one another, an automatic identification of the currently connected machine components (5, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9) as well as an automatic identification of the structure of the data network of the machine is carried out and in this way a current actual machine topology (20) is detected, - wherein the automatic identification of the currently connected machine components (5, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9) by means of an ID number (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h) which each connected machine component (5, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9) identifies, is carried out, the ID number (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h), the data of the respective machine component (5, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9), in particular the serial number and / or order number and / or software status and / or ...
