The invention relates to a device for operating an automation plant, which defines an architecture composed of an automation control system (ASC), an energy control system (EC) and a superordinate control system (OP) and which describes the interfaces and the communication between the systems. In order to control the energy consumption of the automation plant, switching sequences (SWS) are determined by the energy control system (EC) using information from the automation control system (ASC) and the superordinate control system (OP) and are carried out, wherein the energy control system (EC), in the context of carrying out a switching sequence (SWS), gives switching commands to the automation control system (ASC), as a result of which equipment items of sub-systems (MO1, ..., MO4) of the automation plant are switched at least temporarily into operating states with reduced energy consumption. By virtue of the device according to the invention, the energy consumption of an automation plant is lowered in a simple and efficient manner. |
