We claim: 1. A module for a machine for processing sheet printing materials, comprising: interfaces for control communication; a memory unit containing information concerning capabilities of the module and configured with read and write access; and a communications device, operatively connected to said memory unit, and configured for communication with at least one of a further module and a higher-order control system of the machine; the at least one module being an individual printing unit able to determine the position of the individual printing unit, as well as the positions of other individual printing units, and therefore determine the order of the individual printing unit and the other individual printing units of the printing press; and local information regarding the position of the individual printing units being used during automatic configuration and commissioning of the machine. 2. The module according to claim 1, wherein said communications device is configured for interchanging data with further modules for configuring the machine. 3. The module according to claim 1, wherein said interfaces includes at least one standardized transport interface. 4. The module according to claim 1, wherein said interfaces include at least one power supply interface. 5. The module according to claim 1, which comprises a dedicated drive motor for the module. 6. The module accorclirig to claim 1, wherein the module has at least one drive interface. 7. The module according to claim 6, wherein said drive interface is a shaft end provided with a coupling. 8. The module according to claim 1 configured with an automatic detection and configuration function. 9. The module according to claim 4, wherein said power supply interface includes mains power sockets mounted to the module. 10. The module according to claim 1, wherein said interfaces include a connection for the module for attachment to a data bus system. 11. The module according to claim 1, wherein said interfaces include a connection for transporting ink or damping solution. 12. The module according to claim 2, wherein said interfaces include a wire-free transmitting and receiving unit. 13. The module according to claim 1, wherein said interfaces include a satellite navigation unit. 14. The module according to claim 1, wherein said interfaces include a connection to a pneumatic or hydraulic system. 15. The module according to claim 1, wherein said interfaces include at least one transposition-safeguarded connection for a communication line. 16. A printing press, comprising: at least two modules, each module being configured in accordance with the module of claim 1. 17. A method for configuring a sheet-fed printing press having at least one module that is an individual printing units, comprising the steps of: providing the at least one module with a memory unit configured for read and write access, the memory unit containing information about the properties of the at least one module; with the at least one module, determining the position of the individual printing units and the order of the individual printing units during automatic configuration and commissioning of the printing press.
