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:
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.
