  • Patent number: 10761523
    Abstract: A method for controlling an automation system (1) comprising: rendering, by a processor, an image (16, 22, 40) from a three-dimensional scene representing at least part of the automation system (1) on the basis of position data and viewing direction data, displaying the image (16, 22, 40) on a display unit (10), wherein the automation system (1) comprises a plurality of components (2, 4, 18, 20), wherein a tree structure (24) is stored in a data memory in which nodes (28, 30, 32, 34) are assigned to the components (2, 4, 18, 20) of the automation system (1), is to process and display all details necessary for the tasks of controlling an automation system and on the other hand minimize the required computing capacity.

  • Patent number: 8332067
    Abstract: In a computerized device for processing a robot control program, at least one local area of a robot path of a robot is displayed at a display screen, the robot path containing a support point that is to be modified. The display screen also shows the support point, as well as a path course therethrough and at least one direction also proceeding through the support point perpendicularly to the path course. An input device allows a user to modify the path course by modifying the position of the support at the display screen.
