Method of and apparatus for controlling of regulating industrial processes

An apparatus for implementing a method including the steps of taking data in form of resulting values which are decisive for the process, storing the data in a storage of a programmable process control, during starting a control program reading pre-defined configuration data which are stored in a storage in the control and connected with a control program;

• based on the configuration data selecting a subset of the resulting values adapted to a resulting value storage available in the control, and subsequently storing it in this storage, the apparatus comprising a process control;
• at least one operating device connected with said process control through an element selected from the group consisting of a communication interface and a bus system, said process control having a storage which contains configuration data which are changeable via said operating device by an operation program provided therefor.
