Method and device for automatically integrating sensor devices in a central controller

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatically modularly integrating sensor devices () in a central controller () of a network having at least one first server comprising at least one first communication module () and the central controller () for at least one part of the network. The method comprises at least the following steps: a.) determining the sensor devices () actually associated with the at least one first server by the at least one first communication module (); b.) comparing the determined actual sensor devices () to a quantity of detectable sensor devices defined in a detecting order and determining matching sensor devices (); c.) transmitting data associated with the matching sensor devices from the first communication module () to the central controller (); d.) automatically integrating predefined control modules in the central controller () based on the transmitted data, wherein the predefined control modules () are each associated with the data of the matching sensor devices. The invention further relates to a device for performing the method, and to a computer program having program code means for performing all the steps of the method.
