ABSTRACT:
Control device identification information or an identifier identifying the type of the corresponding control device is stored in a first and in a second control device. Version information identifying the sequence control of the corresponding control device, such as a version number, is stored in the first and in the second control device. The first control device transmits its first control device identification information and/or its first version information to the second control device. The second control device accesses a compatibility reference table. The compatibility reference table indicates which combinations of control device identification information and version information, and thus which control devices and their corresponding sequence controls will communicate with the second control device in a compatible manner.
