Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a system for determining spatially distributed physical and/or chemical measured variables (f(Xi)) in a liquid or gaseous medium (F), at least two wireless measuring sensors (M) being distributed in the medium (F). The measured variables (f(Xi)) are determined in the fluid (F) by means of the wireless measuring sensors (M) and are transmitted to an evaluation unit with the help of wireless data transmission.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for allocation and management of a use permit for software in a computer network (1), comprising at least one server (2) and several clients (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5), whereby the software may be called up by several or all clients (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5). The use of the installed software is only permitted in the clients (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5) during the period of validity of a use permit requested from the server (2), whereby clients (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5) communicate with the server (2) by means of a network connection (5), at least for the permit request. Use permits are allocated by the server (2), according to conditions of a network licence (6, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3), which either relates to a permit for simultaneous use of the software by an agreed maximum number (for example 3) of clients (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5), or to a permit for use of the software by any number of clients (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5) for an agreed total duration (D) of software use. The allocation of a use permit by the server (2) is achieved by means of a token, which authorises a use of the software in the corresponding client (for example 3.1), said use permit expiring on return of the token or on expiry of a validity period for the token.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for transforming a first piece of information (1a, 1b) that is provided in a first format and describes a first software configuration of a first distributed control system (1) into a second piece of information (2a, 2b) which is provided in a second format and describes a second software configuration of a second distributed control system (2). According to the inventive method, the runtime behavior of the first software configuration is detected on the first control system (1) and is taken into account during transformation into the second piece of information such that the second control system (2) comprising the second piece of information has the same runtime behavior as the first control system (1) comprising the first piece of information. The invention also relates to a corresponding system.
Abstract:
A method for knowledge-based transformation of information involving importing the first information into a computer environment followed by converting the first information into a third information in a neutral format and then processing the third information by means of a computerized knowledge-interpreter followed by converting the processed third information into the second information by the computerized knowledge-interpreter. The respective software configuration comprises a time delay feature processed by the computerized knowledge interpreter (4) and converted and optimized regarding the information content for the third information. An Independent claim is included for a system for implementing the method
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for allocation and management of a usage permit for software in a computer network, comprising at least one server and several clients, whereby the software may be called up by several or all clients. The use of the installed software is only permitted in the clients during the period of validity of a usage permit requested from the server, whereby clients communicate with the server by means of a network connection, at least for the permit request. Usage permits are allocated by the server according to conditions of a network license which either relates to a permit for simultaneous use of the software by an agreed maximum number of clients for an agreed total duration of software use. The allocation of a use permit by the user is achieved by means of a token which authorizes a use of the software in the corresponding client, said usage permit expiring on return of the token or on expiry of a validity period for the token.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for managing and exchanging data relating to an automation project. The automation project has a data-processing system with a conversion device that converts data from at least one proprietary data format into a standardized data format, and vice versa. The conversion device uses at least one data assignment to assign at least one first piece of information, given in the standardized data format, to a second piece of information, given in the proprietary format, and/or vice versa. In addition, the conversion device is configured to locate at least one first piece of information, given in the proprietary data format, the corresponding data assignment assigned to it from among the data assignments that are present, and based on the located data assignment, transform the proprietary first piece of information into a standardized second piece of information specified in the data assignment, or vice versa.
Abstract:
Method for transforming, especially upgrading, a first information set in a first format relating to a first software configuration in a first distributed control system (1) into a second information set in a second format that describes a second software configuration in a second distributed control system (2), whereby the first set of information is first transformed into a neutral meta-description that images the semantics and real-time behavior of the first information. The invention also relates to a corresponding system.
Abstract:
A system and a method for a structurally decoupled exchange of objects deposited in variable object-oriented data structures is performed. In a first tool, at least one first object-oriented data structure is deposited and for each object coming from the first tool, of the first data structure, one unambiguous identification mark is allocated. In a second tool, at least one second object-oriented data structure is deposited and for each object, of the second data structure, the unambiguous identification mark of the associated partner object and at least one path information item over the hierarchical position of the associated partner object with the hierarchical position of the object of the second data structure from the first data structure is allocated. A module for comparing the structures taking into consideration the identification marks and path information, is provided, for determining the differences of the structures.
