Productio installation for the manufacture of a product
First Claim
1. Production installation for the manufacture of a product in a multistage process, comprising(A) a process guiding system having input/output consoles and, connected to the consoles, a process computer for monitoring and controlling said multistage process for the manufacture of said product;
- and(B) at least two modular units for conducting the respective stages of said process;
(a) each of said modular units comprising production apparatus, instrumentation, tubing, electrical wiring, sensors, actuators and a control unit, connected to said sensors and actuators, for communicating with said process guiding system; and

Abstract
In a production installation, all component parts which are required for a synthesis process or manufacturing process, are combined in terms of hardware and software into modular units (8 to 12). Here, on the one hand local fixed modules (8, 46) and mobile modules (9 to 12) are formed, the apparatus and instruments of which are mounted in racks. Control units (33 to 37) are associated with the modular units, which control units in each case receive a programmable module address code, by which each modular unit (8 to 12) identifies itself to the process guiding system (1).
