ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling at least one device (12) with a control system (10). The devices (12) can provide input signals (16) to the control system (10), receive output signals (14) from the control system (10) to operate the device (12), or a combination of both. When the device (12) is first connected to the control system (10), the control system (10) identifies the device (12) and selects a set of parameters and instructions from a database (18). An operator can then select values for the parameters. The parameters and instructions then define the operation of the device (12). Each controlled device (12) acts autonomously with respect to other devices (12). When the device (12) is actuated through a series of operations, the method determines the next operation of the device (12), after the device (12) has been turned off and back on again.
