Abstract: An automation system includes at least one automation object, with a directory for storing object names of the at least one automation object. An object name is assigned a directory entry which includes first information data as a reference to the automation object; second information data as a description of technological functionality; and third information data as a description of interfaces of the automation object. This results in immediate and permanent access to currently created (partial) solutions, so that parallel and/or distributed working on automation objects is possible.

Abstract: An automation system with at least one automation object having a first component for generating a system functionality, a second component for generating a base functionality, and a third component for managing at least one module. Each module has a first module component for generating a system functionality, a second module component for generating a base functionality and a third module component for generating a technological functionality.

Abstract: A loom system, comprises a basic machine a heald loom, or a Jacquard machine, whereby the basic machine is coupled with the heald loom or with the Jacquard machine. The heald loom or the Jacquard machine are driven by a direct drive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the automatic retrieval of engineering data from installations. The engineering and runtime objects are described by a uniform object model. This allows the correspondence between engineering objects and runtime objects to be determined at object level and no information is lost as a result of the mapping. In addition, a direct communication between engineering and runtime objects can take place, which can be utilized when the method is carried out.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automation system with at least one automation module (1), which has at least one automation object (A1-An), and with function modules (F1-F6), which contain means for central management and maintenance of the automation objects (A1-An). As a result, a manufacturer-independent definition of new automation objects, possibly using already existing automation objects, becomes possible, costly separate programming of new automation solutions is no longer necessary at all or is at least significantly simplified.

Abstract: An automation system with at least one automation object (A1 . . . An) having a first component (K1) for generating a system functionality, a second component (K2) for generating a base functionality, and a third component (K3) for managing at least one module (M1 . . . Mn). Each module has a first module component (MK1) for generating a system functionality, a second module component (MK2) for generating a base functionality and a third module component (MK3) for generating a technological functionality.
