What is proposed is a technical
system (1,T), comprising a technical module (2, 2'), which comprises - a plurality of technical objects (5a, 5a', 5b, 5b', 5c, 5c', 5d, 5d'), each of which is designed and intended to perform a technical function, - and a
communication unit (4, 4') designed to exchange data with
external communication partners, in particular other technical modules (2, 2') or an
orchestration instance (10, 10'), preferably a
control system (9, 9') of a technical
plant, and a technical description file (3, 3', 3a') assigned to the technical module (2, 2') and designed in accordance with the specifications of standard VDI / VDE / NAMUR 2658. The technical
system (1,T) is characterized in that the technical description file (3, 3', 3a') comprises control information that can be used by a control instance (11, 1T) outside the technical module (2, 2') to control the technical functions of the technical module (2, 2') in accordance with the specifications of the VDI / VDE / NAMUR 2658 standard.
