Abstract: A method for providing a controlling frontend for an operating device configured for operating a field device includes providing an operational frame, wherein the operational frame serves as a generic user interface and is based on a companion specification; reading a field device specification from a database, wherein the field device specification comprises a structured set of field device attributes, which are related to the operating elements; and generating, based on the field device specification and the operational frame, a structured set of display elements for the controlling frontend, wherein at least some of the display elements of the controlling frontend are connected to the operating elements of the field device.

Abstract: A first gateway device for connecting an OPC UA client to a data-driven controller and/or control system includes a first interface implementing an OPC UA server and is configured to receive, from the OPC UA client, at least one call to invoke an OPC UA method on an OPC UA object, and a second interface that sends a request to write at least one value to at least one control variable of the data-driven controller and/or control system, and first translation logic therebetween. A second gateway device connects a data-driven controller and/or control system to a controlled device or subsystem of an industrial plant and includes a third interface that receives a value of a control variable, and a fourth interface that sends a call to invoke an OPC UA method on an OPC UA object, and second translation logic therebetween.

Abstract: An aggregating server includes a control logic, a first proxy node, and a second proxy node in an aggregated address spaceThe first proxy node corresponds to a first node in a remote address space of an aggregated server, and the second proxy node corresponds to a second node in the remote address space of the aggregated server. The control logic is configured to forward node data from the first node in the remote address space via the first proxy node and the second proxy node to the second node in the remote address space according to an input/output relationship.
