Abstract: A method of channel mapping in an industrial process control system includes: a) discovering a plurality of devices within the industrial process control system; b) obtaining at least one signal characteristic for each of the plurality of devices; c) determining channel mapping by a processing unit acting as a channel mapping agent, the plurality of devices being mapped to a plurality of communication channels, the channel mapping mapping each device to a communication channel for signal transmission, and the determining including utilizing the at least one signal characteristic for each of the plurality of devices; and d) configuring the devices according to the channel mapping.

Abstract: A method for an automatic generation of industrial process graphics includes: receiving engineering data, device data, and sensor data of an industrial plant having a plurality of field devices, the engineering data, device data, and sensor data being assigned to a single or multiple field devices; extracting field device information for each field device of a plurality of the field devices from the assigned engineering data, device data, and sensor data; and generating a plurality of process graphics for each field device of the plurality of the field devices. The plurality of process graphics for each field device covers a plurality of different abstraction levels of the industrial plant.

Abstract: A platform for actuation of at least one industrial field device in an industrial installation having control software includes: an execution environment, in which the control software is runnable; and an external interface for communicating between the control software and the at least one industrial field device. The execution environment has virtual hardware which, from a point of view of the control software, behaves in a manner of the at least one industrial field device. A switching unit is connected between the virtual hardware and the external interface. The switching unit bidirectionally translates data, interchanged between the control software and the virtual hardware, for communication with the at least one industrial field device via the external interface.
