  • Patent number: 6473656
    Abstract: Local technology modules automatically execute given functions as part of process automation. Each technology module has a memory storing module-specific information about the respective function of the technology module and its tie-in to a measuring point, open- and closed-loop control system. During an initialization phase, this information is transmitted to a central communication device, where it is stored for access by an operator communication and monitoring device. It can thus automatically add the information to its operator communication and monitoring interface.
