Method for operating a wind turbine as well as wind turbine controller for implementing the method

A method for operating a wind turbine, comprising:

• providing a plurality of software modules as an operating software for operating the wind turbine, wherein each of the plurality of software modules has at least one communications input and/or at least one communications output;
• providing a configuration list with a plurality of entries, wherein each of the plurality of entries assigns to a respective communications input of a first software module of the plurality of software modules and a communications output of a second software module of the plurality of software modules;
• for each respective entry of the plurality of entries, transmitting information of the respective entry to a respective software module of the plurality of software modules with at least one communications input, which allows the respective software module to access data of the communications output of another software module of the plurality of software modules, which in the entry is assigned to the communications input;
• operating the wind turbine with the plurality of software modules;
• adding a third software module to the plurality of software modules;
• and
• adding an entry to the configuration list, wherein the entry assigns a respective communications input or a respective communications output of the third software module,
• wherein the third software module replaces the second software module, and the method includes removing the second software module from the plurality of software modules in response to adding the third software module.
