Abstract:
The present invention relates to a computerised tool for converting first information, having a first format for describing the hardware/software configuration of a first distributed control system, into second information having a second format for describing the hardware/software configuration of a second distributed control system.
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 concerns method and a tool for designing an optimal hardware structure of a process control system and configuring a given control function onto the optimal hardware structure of the process control system. The method and the tool of the invention comprises three main parts that can be used in conjunction or be used separately together with other solutions for the remaining part or parts of the system.
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.
