The disclosure relates to a programming template for developing an application program that is configured to be executed in a manner distributed over two or more programmable logic controllers. The programming template includes two or more programmable modules configured to be integrated into the application program and executed on a respective associated programmable logic controller. At least one first programmable module has an associated first programmable logic controller, and at least one second programmable module has an associated second programmable logic controller. The programming template comprises a logical communication link between the at least one first and the at least one second programmable module for the purpose of coordination of the at least one first and the at least one second programmable module across control systems.

The programming template according to claim 1, wherein while operating on the first programmable logic controller, the master module is configured to at least one of (i) communicate with the slave module and to manage the at least one second programmable module, and (ii) communicate with the at least one first programmable module and to detect one or more properties of the first programmable module. 3. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein the slave module is configured (i) to supervise the at least one second programmable module, (ii) to detect a status of the at least one second programmable module, and (iii) to communicate the status to the master module. 4. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein: at least two programmable modules of the plurality of programmable modules are associated with the second programmable logic controller, andthe slave module is configured (i) to detect a respective status of each programmable module of the at least two programmable modules, (ii) to combine the respective statuses to form a joint actual state, and (iii) to communicate the joint actual state to the master module. 5. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein: at least one third programmable module of the plurality of programmable modules is associated with a third programmable logic controller of the plurality of programmable logic controllers,the logical communication link is configured to connect the at least one third programmable module to at least one of (i) the at least one first programmable module, and (ii) the at least one second programmable module,the logical communication link includes a connection between the slave module and a further slave module, andthe further slave module is configured to operate on the third programmable logic controller. 6. The programming template according to claim 5, wherein: the slave module is configured (i) to communicate with the further slave module, (ii) to manage the at least one third programmable module, (iii) to communicate with the at least one second programmable module, and (iv) to detect at least one property of the at least one second programmable module, andthe at least one property includes a status of the at least one second programmable module. 7. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein: the slave module includes a function configured to report a local error on the second programmable logic controller to the master module in the event of the local error, andthe function is selectable by a user. 8. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein: the master module is configured (i) to detect termination of a connection to the slave module, and (ii) to react to the detected termination of the connection to the slave module by slowing down a control drive, changing over to a local state machine, or ignoring the detected termination of the connection to the slave module, andthe slave module is configured (i) to detect termination of a connection to the master module, and (ii) to react to the detected termination of the connection to the master module by slowing down the control drive, changing over to the local state machine, or ignoring the termination of the connection to the master module. 9. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein each programmable logic controller of the plurality of programmable logic controllers is implemented on a piece of dedicated or autarkic control hardware. 10. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein during creation, deletion, or renaming of a state or of a mode of operation of one or more of the programmable modules of the plurality of programmable modules, the programming template is configured to automatically customize respective associated data structures in one or more other of the plurality of programmable modules. 11. The programming template according to claim 1, further comprising: an assistance interface including a plurality of input panels, the assistance interface being configured to be used (i) to add one or more of the programmable modules and/or a mode-of-operation manager to the programming template, (ii) to delete the one or more of the programmable modules and/or the mode-of-operation manager from the programming template, and (iii) to rename the one or more of the programmable modules and/or the mode-of-operation manager,wherein the assistance interface is further configured (i) to associate the one or more of the programmable modules with a respective programmable logic controller, and/or (ii) to change an association between the one or more of the programmable modules and the respective programmable logic controller, andwherein the programming template is provided for a user via the assistance interface. 12. The programming template according to claim 1, wherein a computer program includes a program code configured (i) to be compiled on a corresponding computation unit, and (ii) to prompt the corresponding computation unit to generate the programming template. 13. The programming template according to claim 12, wherein the computer program is stored on a machine-readable storage medium.
