System for operating a physical measuring chain

A system for operating a physical measuring chain that is designed to measure a physical measurand at a measuring location, the system comprising:

• a plurality of physical measuring components that are in a cause-and-effect relationship to each other;
• wherein each of the plurality of physical measuring components includes a respective identifier in which is stored a respective identification code;
• wherein the plurality of physical measuring components includes at least one physical sensor, at least one physical transmission means and at least one physical evaluation unit;
• at least one identification means, which identification means is arranged at the measuring location and is configured for detecting each respective identification code stored in the identifier from each physical measuring component;
• at least one data processing unit arranged at a data processing location remote from the measuring location, wherein the data processing unit includes at least one data processor, at least one software configured to run on the at least one data processor, and at least one data memory connected to the at least one data processor and wherein measuring component data is stored in the at least one data memory, wherein the software is designed to read out measuring component data from the data memory for the transmitted identification codes and to generate a digital measuring chain with the read-out measuring component data;
• a data network connected to the data processing unit and configured to transmit the detected identification code to the data processing unit;
• wherein the digital measuring chain includes a plurality of digital measuring components that include at least one digital sensor, at least one digital transmission means and at least one digital evaluation unit;
• and
• at least one computer unit which is arranged at the measuring location, wherein the data network is configured to transmit the digital measuring chain to the computer unit.
