A PLANT FOR CONTROLLING PROCESS EQUIPMENT

摘要

In a plant for controlling an equipment (4) adapted to carry out a process a superior arrangement (1) exists and has a first interface (2) to a programming unit (3) and a second interface (5) between the process equipment (4) and the arrangement. The arrangement has members (6) for trasnmitting information between the two interfaces. A memory member (9) adapted to store important data required for describing and defining the process of the process equipment is arranged in the process equipment itself. The arrangement (1) is provided with a rule data base (8) and a text data base (7) containing a configuration file for communication between the process equipment and the arrangement through the second interface by utilising a general process application protocol and a text file, respectively, adapted to the format of said data in the memory member of the process equipment.
