  • Patent number: 11188061
    Abstract: A method for configuring an automation system for controlling a process, an automation module, and a computer program product. In the method, a mapping of a physical automation device on a non-instantiated automation module is provided, whereby the non-instantiated automation module specifies a device type and has at least one artifact. Furthermore, the method includes the provision of a non-instantiated automation module in a library and a retrieval of the non-instantiated automation module from the library. Furthermore, the method provides for an instantiation of the automation module and a localization of the instantiated automation modules.

  • Patent number: 10331443
    Abstract: Embodiments involve a data organization procedure and a development environment system that is set up to carry out the data organization procedure. The data organization procedure according to an embodiment envisages that a stored data set or a data set to be stored is organized according to a first structure, whereby the data set is subdivided according to aspects of the content and/or according to access rights aspects into partial data sets, whereby in addition to the first structure another structure is envisaged, according to which the data set is organized, whereby the data set is subdivided into authority areas, whereby each authority area includes at least one partial data set according to the first structure, whereby each partial data set includes at least one data unit, and whereby a responsible user set is allocated to each authority area, whereby the user set includes at least one user.

  • Publication number: 20180046163
    Abstract: The invention relates to a project planning device and a method for configuring and/or parameterizing automation components of an automation system. The project planning device of the invention has a user interface and a network interface via which it can be connected to a network of an actual automation system. The project planning device is operable to create a target configuration and/or a target parameterization for an automation system, and to analyze a connected actual automation system with respect to the actual configuration and/or actual parameterization thereof. According to the invention, the project planning device is configured for automatically detecting accesses to the target configuration and/or the target parameterization based on predefinable access types, and for automatically initiating and performing the analyzing in response to a detected access and/or in response to a signal which is a predefinable regularly recurring signal.
