Abstract
The present invention relates to an automation system with at least one automation module (1), which has at least one automation object (A -An), and with function modules (F F ), which contain means for central management and maintenance of the automation objects (A An). As a result, a manufacturer-independent definition of new automation objects, possibly using already existing automation objects, becomes possible, costly separate programming of new automation solutions is no longer necessary at all or is at least significantly simplified.
