Abstract

The invention relates to a modular, automated process system comprising process modules that can be configured to automatically work through a process and that each process predefined sub-processes. Said process modules (1 to 5) are connected to a higher-level control via a data link and have configuration signalling devices (26) for providing information that can be read via the data link (16) about the actual set configurations. The higher-level control (17) is connected to a device (60) for providing information about desired configurations of the process modules (1 to 5) and determines deviations between the actual configurations and the desired configurations.
