Disconnect plant from a controller or connect to a controller

A specific application can be provided to the plant in advance, even if the plant or controller is not yet ready. For example:

It is unclear at the time the application is developed which controller is supplied to a specific location.
It is unclear during development which controller is connected to the plant.
If the application is online in advance and developed at another location than the subsequent installation of the controller.

Under these circumstances, an engineer can develop an app, for example, with a controller at the office. The engineer saves the application to Climatix IC. And then disconnects the plant from the controller after the app is developed. On-site, another controller is used, and the plant is connected to a new controller using the previous application.
