Claim Text:
1. Method for computation of the state variables of a hybrid differential-algebraic process model (hybrid DAP) in succeeding time steps on a process computer with a process interface, comprising the steps of: A) setting up the process computer such that at least one process variable of a physical process can be at least one of: B) determining a current mode of the hybrid DAP in a computation process by evaluating state variables for deviation of a current mode of the hybrid DAP from a prior mode of the hybrid DAP, C) choosing a mode-specific process model, which is less complex than the hybrid DAP by only activating a subset part of the hybrid DAP and which corresponds to the current mode from a group of executable mode-specific process models and basing a further computation on the chosen mode-specific process model, and D) for obtaining executable mode-specific process models for said group, E) to the extent necessary as determined by the computations of the preceding steps, using the process computer to influence the physical process via the process interface, wherein the hybrid DAP is a structurally variant, omnipotent and all-encompassing differential-algebraic model and therefore contains any case configurations of the hybrid process model.
