Original Abstract Submitted

To configure a machine controller for a machine, a plurality of state signals of a first state space is read in, each state signal being assigned an optimized control signal. Using the state signals, a first signal converter is trained to convert state signals from the first state space into a second state space which is dimension-reduced in comparison with the first state space. A second signal converter is trained to reproduce corresponding optimized control signals by converting reduced state signals by means of the conversion rule. Thus, the machine controller is designed to convert a state signal of the machine into a reduced state signal by means of the trained first signal converter and to convert the reduced state signal into an optimized control signal by means of the trained second signal converter, the optimized control signal being used to control the machine.
