Abstract

A central control and instrumentation system for a technical installation is provided. The central control and instrumentation system for a technical installation includes a plurality of functional modules which are interconnected for data transmission, monitored by a central control module and activated, when needed, as a function of a triggering parameter. The triggering parameter provided for activating the functional modules by the control module is predefined by a user.

Claims

1-4. -4. (canceled)

5. A central control and instrumentation system for a technical installation, comprising:

a plurality of functional modules; and

a central control module,

wherein the plurality of functional modules are interconnected for data communication purposes and are monitored, and

wherein when necessary, the plurality of functional modules are activated by a central control module as a function of a triggering parameter,

wherein a triggering parameter is provided to activate the plurality of functional modules by the control module and

wherein the triggering parameter may be specified by a user.

6. The central control and instrumentation system as claimed in claim 5, wherein a user-modifiable time parameter is provided as the triggering parameter.

7. The central control and instrumentation system as claimed in claim 5, wherein an event-driven parameter is provided as the triggering parameter.

8. The central control and instrumentation system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the technical installation is a power station.

9. The central control and instrumentation system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the triggering parameter is selected from a stored group of possible triggering parameters.

10. The central control and instrumentation system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the central control module includes an allocated memory which stores the stored group of possible triggering parameters.

11. The central control and instrumentation system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the plurality of functional modules are selected from the group consisting of hardware components, independent software modules, and combinations thereof.

12. A method for operating a central control and instrumentation system, comprising:

activating a plurality of functional modules by taking into account a triggering parameter specified by a user.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein a user-modifiable time parameter is provided as the triggering parameter.

14. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein an event-driven parameter is provided as the triggering parameter.

15. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein a central control module monitors and when necessary activates the plurality of functional modules.
