  • Patent number: 8782594
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for structuring a function plan into function plan sections. The function plan includes function modules. Individual function modules are connected to at least one other function module of at least one function module connection. If the function plan exceeds the predefined area of the function plan section, a first determination of the arising function module external connections in an assignment of the individual function modules to the individual function plan sections occurs for each function plan variant, and the individual function modules are assigned to the function plan sections according to the function plan variant having the least possible number of function module external connections.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130055122
    Abstract: A macro management system is disclosed for an engineering system for parameterizing switchgear using core modules. In at least one embodiment, the macro management system has, as core modules, a creation module which is designed to create macros, a display/catalogue module which is designed to present all macros present in the system, an import module which is designed to integrate already existing macros into the system, and an export module which is designed to distribute macros which have already been created. The macro management system is connected to a graphical user interface of the engineering system, and the project engineer can be guided, with various options, to a restricted final selection of macros via a plurality of question levels.

  • Patent number: 6947812
    Abstract: The topology of a bus or network electric line system which is used to provide a plurality of electric consumers with low voltage from a feed block, is inputted into a computer. For several feed points, a measuring value is determined for the electric line system on the basis of at least one technical criterium and is transmitted to a user as a function of the feed point. It is assumed that the feed block is connected to the electric line system at the respective feed point.

  • Patent number: 6760630
    Abstract: A software-implemented method and implementation is disclosed for commissioning an automated system. The implementation analyzes the configuration of one or more operational components in the automated system and generates one or more operator communication and monitoring masks for each of the operational components. An interface is provided with the at least one mask to parametize the at least one operational component.

  • Publication number: 20030065840
    Abstract: The topology of a wiring system in the form of a bus or network, which is to provide a number of electrical consumers (1-5) with a low voltage from a supply module (6) is input into a computer (30). At least one individual length and one individual cross-section is allocated to each of the sections (12-27) of the wiring system, while nominal capacities are allocated to the consumers (1-5). The low voltage, nominal capacities and lengths are used in conjunction with predetermined dimensioning criteria to test whether the cross-section is adequate for each section (12-27).
