    Abstract: Method and apparatus for the automated determination of an effective area for an emergency stop device(s) in an industrial plant is provided. In modern flexible installations, as will be increasingly found, (such as cyberphysical systems), the layout of the plant will be dynamically changeable. In such an environment, it is often impossible to manually prepare complete safety plan in advance for each potential environment. The proposed methods and apparatuses allow automatic calculations of operational configurations and effective regions of emergency stop devices in an industrial plant, allowing easy positioning of such devices. An improved method for recalculating the effective region after the layout of the plant or portions thereof changed is also provided.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating component-related energy models and external specification parameters, in order, based on these, to produce a determination of a set of partial-load conditions, which are simulated based on a parameterizable simulation model of the system. A system planner is put in a position, with the specification of specification parameters, for example, a minimum throughput of the system or a maximum energy consumption, in which he can obtain a set of partial-load conditions, i.e., a partial-load condition for each of the components involved in the determination. In this way, an individual partial-load condition can be set for each component, where all the partial-load conditions fulfill the provisions of the specification parameters.

    Abstract: An industrial control system includes an engineering device having a security key, a memory and a first user interface embodied as a display representing a second user interface of an operating device of the industrial control system. The engineering device stores project data and furthermore includes an engineering program running in a cloud, wherein for implementing calculation results, commands and outputs are transmitted via the cloud to the engineering device and/or the operating device. A programming device connects the engineering device to a cloud device. A method for controlling the industrial control system is also described.

    Abstract: A system for configuration and control of a device includes a device processor includes at least two processing cores. Device firmware executes on a first processing core and a device-based engineering server executes on a second processing core. A web server running on the device-based engineering server includes a webApp providing web-based functionality for configuration and control of the device. The webApp is downloaded from the web server to the user's browser. A hypervisor manages communication between the device firmware and the device-based engineering server. A communication path established in the hypervisor for communicating a configuration or control instruction to the device firmware. The configuration or control instruction is initiated by a user via a web browser. The users web browser may run on a computer workstation that does not otherwise meet processing requirements of an engineering system for the device.
