Claim 15:
16. A method for controlling a technical facility, wherein the facility is constructed from a plurality of modules each having a technical hardware for executing a technical sub-process, and a controller for local control of the technical hardware and an external interface of the controller, wherein the external interface comprises a server having a fixedly predetermined information structure with static information and dynamic information, wherein the static information describes the technical hardware and the controller and the method comprises:
writing the dynamic information into the information structure as real-time values of the technical hardware by the controller; and
providing the dynamic information in the information structure of the server,
wherein the external interface is configured to receive commands, related to a defined state of a plurality of states of the module,
wherein the controller is configured to control the technical hardware autonomously based on the defined state of the module and to autonomously control a transition between the plurality of states,
wherein the controller writes the dynamic information as real-time values of the technical hardware into the information structure,
wherein the information structure of the server has a number of objects, each with at least one real-time value of a description of the real-time value,
wherein the description in the object is predefined standardized meta-information for the real-time value, and
wherein the controller is configured such that the server is dynamically queryable for each object individually.
