Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for generating control unit program code. The control unit program code or an intermediate representation in the generation of the control unit program code is generated from at least one first data object with at least one first software tool. The first software tool outputs at least one message about the generation process during the generation of the control unit program code or the intermediate representation, and a computer-implemented message management environment acquires the message output by the software tool. The evaluation of the messages output by the software tools during the generation process is achieved in a more effective manner in that a qualification for the acquired message at least as open or approved is acquired by the message management environment and in that a qualification precondition for a message qualified as approved is also acquired by the message management environment.
Abstract:
A method for the computer-aided generation of at least one part of an executable control program, particularly a measuring, control, regulating, and/or calibration program, for controlling a control system having at least one electronic processor unit is provided. The functionality of the control program is described at least partially in at least one graphical model and the graphical model is divided in hierarchical levels into submodels. A submodel can be divided nested into submodels of a lower hierarchical level, whereby values for options for the compiling of the graphical model to program code are preset and program code is generated from the model co-compiled to the executable control program. Values for options for the compiling of the graphical model to program code and to the executable control program can be preset thereby granularly with the automatic avoidance of conflicting presettings of values for these options.

Abstract:
A method and data processing system for linking a plurality of data structures of a data processing system with a plurality of elements of a man-machine interface (MMI) are provided. The method includes the steps: provision of an MMI with a plurality of elements, arranging a plurality of data structures in a list, selection of an element of the MMI by a user, automatic linking of a first data structure from the list with the selected element of the MMI, and setting the beginning of the list to the data structure that follows the previously linked data structure in the list. The steps of selection of an element of the MMI by a user, automatic linking of a first data structure from the list with the selected element of the MMI, and setting the beginning of the list to the data structure are carried out repeatedly.

A circuit for simulating an electrical load at a terminal of a test circuit having at least one first switch and at least one second switch includes a third switch connected to the first switch of the test circuit via a first external connection point. A fourth switch is connected to the second switch of the test circuit via a second external connection point. The first switch and the second switch are connected via a shared, first internal connection point to the terminal of the test circuit and the third switch and the fourth switch are connected via a shared, second internal connection point such that that the first switch, the second switch, the third switch and the fourth switch form an H-bridge circuit. A voltage source is configured to provide the first and second external connection points with a supply voltage. A controllable voltage source is connected in a transverse bridge branch between the terminal and the second internal connection point. An inductance is active in the transverse bridge branch. A current-control unit is operable on the controllable voltage source so as to adjust, to a predetermined setpoint current, an actual current flowing over the terminal of the test circuit and over the transverse bridge branch.
