METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY INTEGRATING SENSOR DEVICES IN A CENTRAL CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. In a network having at least one first server, said at least one first server having at least one first communication module and a central controller for at least part of said network, a method for automatic modular integration of sensor devices in said central controller, said method comprising:
- 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 with a plurality of detectable sensor devices defined in a detecting order and determining matching sensor devices,c.) sending data assigned to the matching sensor devices from the first communication module to the central controller,d.) automatically integrating predefined control modules in the central controller on the basis of the sent data,wherein the predefined control modules are each assigned to the data of the matching sensor devices.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for automatically modularly integrating sensor devices (16) in a central controller (11) of a network having at least one first server comprising at least one first communication module (12) and the central controller (11) for at least one part of the network. The method comprises at least the following steps: a.) determining the sensor devices (16) actually associated with the at least one first server by the at least one first communication module (12); b.) comparing the determined actual sensor devices (16a, 16b) to a quantity of detectable sensor devices defined in a detecting order and determining matching sensor devices (16a); c.) transmitting data associated with the matching sensor devices from the first communication module (12) to the central controller (11); d.) automatically integrating predefined control modules in the central controller (11) based on the transmitted data, wherein the predefined control modules (16a) 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.
