Abstract:
1. A method for the automated control of a technical installation having a plurality of installation components, which are interconnected by data transmission, the method comprising: generating process control signals in a mobile operator unit; wirelessly transmitting to interfaces the generated process control signals; forwarding the transmitted process control signals by the interfaces to a central control device; receiving by the central control device the forwarded process control signals; generating, by the central control device, control commands taking into consideration the received process control signals; and feeding by the central control device to at least one of the plurality of installation components the generated control commands, wherein the installation components, for which the process control signals received from the mobile operator unit are relevant, are released when associated control commands are generated, and wherein the installation components are released using a local characteristic value for the mobile operator unit, where the local characteristic value is determined using the interfaces which wirelessly communicate with the mobile operator unit.
