A system for controlling one or more aggregate processing plants which utilizes a common control module disposed on each plant, where the module is produced to be functionally identical to, interchangeable with and replaceable by the same model of the model from the same manufacture. When several plants are configured to be controlled by the common control module, and the modules are interconnected by a canbus, then each module can be used to control the entire system of plants and individual other plants in the system without the need for any central control hub and spoke control lines extending directly to each of the plants. The system can be easily (with activation of just one button) set up to allow for common control of the various plants.
