A method for engineering a method-or process-engineering plant with at least one function module, a corresponding function module and a stored program control, wherein the function module includes the stored program control and the method-or process-engineering module that can be controlled or regulated thereby fur use as part of the plant, where a parameter-configurable user program is loaded into the stored program control, and information for the integration of the function module in a file is provided, during engineering of the plant, which defines the parameters for the application-specific configuration of the function module via a plant-engineering tool and stored via an interface specified in a formal description language, for configuration of the user program, in a memory area of the control such that an engineering tool, which is specific to the respective stored program controls used within function modules, is advantageously no longer required.

The present invention provides a technology for generating an NC program which can secure appropriate machining accuracy. Provided is a conversion computer 10 which includes a CPU 11 and generates an NC program for a turning process for a workpiece on a lathe, wherein the CPU 11 is configured to generate an NC program such that displacements caused for a workpiece to be processed on a plurality of machining positions at a time of a turning process are calculated, on the basis of the displacements caused for the workpiece on the plurality of machining positions, a movement path of a tool to be used at the time of the turning process is decided, and the tool is moved through the decided movement path.

A transmission module for a machine control is designed to process an input program code of a control program, and based thereon, to generate a uniform intermediate code having work instructions for execution by the machine control. The input program code comprises a first program code component and a second program code component, where the first program code component is written in a first programming language and the second program code component is written in a second programming language. The work instructions of the intermediate code comprise a first work instruction and a second work instruction, where the first work instruction is generated on the basis of the first program code component and the second work instruction is generated on the basis of the second program code component.
