1. A system for controlling and/or configuring construction machines comprising:
an electronic control device for each construction machine, wherein the electronic control device is reconfigurable and/or extendable by installing a program packet, wherein the electronic control device comprises a motion control module, wherein the motion control module comprises manual controls;
a central server for providing and/or downloading different program packets, wherein the central server has access to an internal machine data database in which different machine data sets are stored, wherein the central server comprises an open server platform with different interfaces to different external host servers; and
a communication module configured to activate an interface to an external machine data database and/or to an external host server according to a construction machine and/or program packet request and according to the machine data sets in the internal machine data database,
wherein the external machine data database is separate from the central server and is configured to provide a program packet from an external host server according to an authorization of the external host server.
