Tabletting machine in the form of a rotary press, includes a rotor accommodating top and bottom stamping dies that cooperate with molds of a mold plate, rotor associated cam segments, and pressure rollers for actuating the stamping dies, a filling equipment, a stripping device for tablets knocked out of the mold and a computing system for controlling the tabletting machine following a predetermined program and for processing data provided by signal transmitters of the tabletting machine, and for monitoring the machine functions. At least a part of the components and/or subassemblies features a transponder having at least one stored identity number, characterizing the components and/or subassemblies. At least one read head connected with the computing system permits the transponder of the component and/or subassembly to be wirelessly read out even in the assembled state. The read-out data can be compared with a predetermined program for the arrangement and/or function of the components and/or subassemblies in the computing system.
