Abstract
In a method for configuring at least one mobile operating unit of at least one control, wherein the at least one operating unit is detachably connectable to the at least one control, wherein the at least one operating unit has a display, a memory, and an input device, the configuration information, required for configuring the at least one operating unit, is transmitted from the at least one control to the at least one operating unit at the time of connecting the at least one operating unit to the at least one control. The configuration information is then utilized in the at least one operating unit. The configuration information saved in the memory can be overwritten by new configuration information received from the control.
