    摘要: A method to orchestrate configurations of simulations based on digital twin models of modular plants such that the configurations of the model-based simulations are generated and deployed automatically, is proposed and based on a logical “System Structure and Parameterization” functionality including a “Functional Mock-up Interface”-functionality combined with a “Functional Mock-up Unit”-functionality to generate for distributed operational-technology-applications of the modular plants simulated model components including assignment rules for automation data captured due to automation of the plants and assigned to the distributed operational-technology-applications, and deploying the simulated model components on the distributed operational-technology-applications by using the SSP-functionality with “Functional Mock-up Unit”-functionalities as part of the FMI-functionality for the distributed operational-technology-applications and implementing for the distributed operational-technology-applications and as part of the FMI-functionality in a server-client-manner “Remote Procedure Call”-technology based Proxy-FMU-functionalities with “Proxy-FMU”-entities embedded in the SSP-functionality and corresponding “Remote-Controlled-FMU”-entities implemented on the distributed operational-technology-applications is provided.

    摘要: The process control unit is configured to execute a plurality of control processes, wherein a first control process executed on the process control unit is configured such that there is no provision for direct exchange of process variables with a second control process, but rather this exchange takes place via an interposed association module. An association specification is used to ascertain the control process(es) to which the process variable needs to be handed over. One advantage includes the increased flexibility in the exchange of process variables, which now takes place in the individual control processes by an association module. Restarts of the process control unit and associated production losses advantageously become unnecessary. Additional resources in the process control unit or in an engineering system may be reduced or avoided. The decreased complexity means that the control systems and engineering systems are developed more easily and hence also more quickly.
