METHOD FOR ENGINEERING A PROCESS TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM, FUNCTIONAL MODULE AND CONTROLLER WITH PROGRAMMABLE STORAGE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for engineering a process or process plant (1) with at least one functional module (5), a corresponding functional module (5) and a programmable logic controller (7) for such a functional module (5). The functional module (5) has a programmable logic controller (7) and a control and / or controllable by this process or process engineering module for use as part of the system (1). A programmable user program (20) is loaded in the programmable logic controller 7. In the engineering of the system (1), information on functional module integration is provided in a file (26), the parameters for the application-specific configuration of the functional module (7) are determined by means of a plant engineering tool (3) and via an interface (23), which in a formal description language is specified, for the configuration of the user program (20) in a memory area (21) of the controller (7) stored. Advantageously, this no longer requires an engineering tool (24) which is specific to the programmable logic controllers (7) used in the function modules (5).
