The present invention relates to a method of controlling a process. The process is carried into effect in an installation or a facility which includes closed conduits filled with a liquid, process equipment filled with the liquid, control equipment, as well as at least one flow meter. The flow meter emits pulses to a register in the control equipment. The register is stepped forwards by the pulses, so that the register, together with the control equipment, emits signals for executing the process steps necessary for the process cycle.
