摘要:
A programmable timeswitch comprises a microcontroller and a switching relay for controlling the supply of electricity to electrical apparatus in accordance with a predetermined `yearly` program stored in an EPROM. The yearly program can include different daily programs for weekdays and weekends and includes different seasonal programs to take account of different demands for electricity at different times of the year. The timeswitch is programmed to switch automatically from one seasonal program to the next seasonal program on predetermined dates in the year and so does not have to be re-programmed at intervals throughout the year. The timeswitch may be used as part of a `deferable load program` run by a utility in which a large number of timeswitches are supplied to different installations, the timeswitches having been programmed by a master console under the sole control of the utility.

The invention relates to an apparatus for operating a technical device, having an operating sequence module and at least one further module with which the operating sequence module communicates. The operating sequence module automatically adapts an execution of an operating control sequence or individual steps to be carried out in order to execute the operating control mode automatically, on the basis of data stored in the further module. The invention also relates to a technical device which has the apparatus, a data processing device by means of which the apparatus can be implemented, and a computer program which implements the apparatus.
