Abstract
The invention relates to an automation system for the erection and operation of industrial plants, in particular for the design, project engineering, implementation, commissioning, maintenance and optimization of individual plant components or complete plants in the basic materials industry, which plants have a computer-based control system which, for a description of the process in control engineering terms, has recourse to process models, for example in he form of mathematical/physical models, neural network models or knowledge-based system, in order to develop the system to the extent that straightforward and cost-effective decentral process management and optimization may be achieved remote from the plant, decentralized process management and optimization by means of one or more interlinked control points is proposed, process changes are continuously monitored online or offline or at least checked by modelling, using modern, public communication means, and the process models, parameters and software are adaptable specifically to the plant.
