  • MODULE FOR A PROCESS ENGINEERING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A PROCESS ENGINEERING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250231542
    Abstract: A module for a process engineering system having process engineering hardware for carrying out a process engineering sub-process, a controller for local control of the process engineering hardware, the controller being set up to control the process engineering hardware independently and bring it to a number of specific defined states, and an external interface of the controller, the external interface being able to receive a number of defined commands which correspond to the specific defined states of the process engineering hardware. In addition, a method is claimed for controlling a process engineering system which is made up of a plurality of modules.
