Location-specific adaptation of an intelligent unit

Abstract

The invention relates to the location-based adaptation of an intelligent unit. One object of the invention is to indicate a way in which, particularly in the case of network-compatible intelligent units, the intelligent units can be configured on the basis of the respective application and/or the respective installation location in order to ensure reliable, secure and thus simple association, essentially without any further steps. For adaptation of an intelligent unit, the invention provides that a configuration device (21, 22, 24, 25) can be associated with a defined application and/or a defined location and have the capability to store application-based and/or location-based configuration data and/or behavior description data, such that data can be transmitted from the configuration device (21, 22, 24, 25) to a logic device for processing of data for configuration of the intelligent unit (11, 12, 13, 14, 15).
