A first portion of the model may be described in a first sequence description and a second portion of the model may be described in a second sequence description. The sequence descriptions are linked together. In one embodiment, the links are visually provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to a system and a method for simplified management of data described with an extensible markup language, wherein the data is structured in the form of objects, wherein components of the objects can be stored in first data files. The components represent a logical unit of an object, wherein a second data file having first means for referencing the components is provided as higher, object-based logical level for storing the objects.

摘要:
A help system, an automation device with such a help system and a method for providing help data are disclosed. The help system includes a first offline help facility which is installed as part of an application on a data processing device, the first help facility providing a user with help data based upon context data defined by the user, the help data being stored in the first help facility and thus on the data processing device. A second online help facility is provided which is accessed by the data processing device via the internet such that the context data defined by the user in relation to the first help facility is automatically adopted in the second help facility as context data, the second help facility providing the user with additional help data based on this context data, the help data being stored in the second help facility.
摘要:
The present disclosure includes a monitoring of an automation system. The automation is monitored using the modeling information in which a runtime software was created to control the automation system. In one embodiment, the automation system is online. In a further embodiment the automation system is offline. Controls of the monitoring, such as stop, start, pause, and playback may be provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to a system and a method for preparing a standardized functionality which is independent form the type of appliance and is used to create a solution in the field of automation. The specific properties and functions of different automation systems are directly covered or generalized on respective appliances by a system-specific adapter, the automation runtime layer. Another component implemented on the respective appliance, the runtime framework, provides a general automation functionality and/or base functionality. The automation solution can thus be created in a standardized manner on an engineering system, and randomly ported independently from the respective target platform. Uniform object libraries can be used and already created solutions can be recycled independently from the system.
摘要:
The invention relates to a data processing system with an improved provision of services for providing functionalities. The data processing system comprises at least one first service for activating at least one second service, whereby the services are configured as Web services.
摘要:
The present disclosure describes the insertion of proxy steps in a model of on automation system. A location is identified to insert the proxy step. The proxy step is inserted at the location. In one aspect an icon is displayed where a proxy step may be inserted, in which case the icon is replaced by the proxy step. A programmable logic controller may be programmed based on the model.
摘要:
A method for splitting and merging runtime software for a programmable logic controller, wherein the runtime software is splittable between a plurality of programmable logic controllers. After the runtime software has been split, the runtime software of a programmable logic controller may be merged into the runtime software of a different programmable logic controller.
