Abstract:
1. A central control and instrumentation system for a technical installation, comprising: a plurality of functional modules, each configured to perform a function or task that performs a data output after executing for a preconfigured number of cycles specified on a module-specific basis, wherein the functional modules are interconnected for data communication purposes; a central control module in communication with the plurality of functional modules and configured control activation of the plurality of functional modules; and a cycle number correction parameter configured to modify the preconfigured number of cycles executed by the plurality of functional modules when applied, wherein, in order to enable a user-controlled variation of cycles to be executed without modifying a cycle time, the central control module applies the cycle number correction parameter to one or more of the plurality of functional modules to modify the preconfigured number of cycles executed by the plurality of functional modules up to the data output.
