Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an I/O station, connected with a plurality of network devices in an automation system. The station comprises a plurality of I/O modules, each I/O module providing one or more I/O channels connecting respective one or more field device(s). The station also comprises an I/O network interface for forwarding data between the modules and the network devices via a network. Each of the channels connecting a respective field device is communicatively connected to at least one of the network devices via the network. The station further comprises a non-volatile storage storing configuration data for the station.

Abstract: A method of providing a control software configuration for a module of a modular plant, the method including, in a module engineering phase: receiving a user definition for the module; and automatically generating the control software configuration for the module based on the user definition, the automatically generating including: specifying parameters for the module that are not specific to any target system; and providing the control software configuration as a controller-agnostic configuration file for subsequent binding of controller software instantiated according to the controller-agnostic configuration file to a hardware controller of the module when the module is integrated into a target system during a plant engineering phase.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a modular process plant complex having a plurality of interconnected process modules each of which includes a plurality of interconnected physical control objects. The physical control objects and their interconnections inside a physical process module are displayed together with associated control parameters as stylized control objects on an operator display screen with four different zooming levels: a first zooming level displaying diagrams of aggregated key performance indicators of the plant complex; a second zooming level displaying diagrams of the key performance indicators; a third zooming level displaying process modules associated with a plant area of the second zooming level; and a fourth zooming level displaying one or more physical control objects included in a process module of the third zooming level together with the associated control parameters and interconnections as stylized control objects on the operator screen display.
