  • Automation system with automation objects with a directory structure and method for the management of automations objects in a directory structure
    Patent number: 7664769
    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.

  • Automation system with automation objects consisting of module components
    Patent number: 7596575
    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.

  • Automation system with reusable automation objects and method for reusing automation solutions in engineering tools
    Patent number: 6701325
    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.
