Abstract
Abstract The modularization of process plants and their modular automation represent innovative concepts to meet the increasing demands for flexibility in plant operation. However, existing approaches to support the engineering of such plants do not focus on the early phases of requirements elicitation and concept design, although these early phases are crucial for the economic efficiency of the later plant. This paper presents a process model for the formalized description of intentions in the early engineering phases of modular process plants. The plant operator creates a formalized model of his intentions and submits it to the module manufacturers in a suitably modularized form. Thus, in the engineering phases, a reduction of effort and an increase in support in the planning and development of the plants are achieved. Furthermore, purpose-specific, required automation functionalities can be defined at an early stage.
