Abstract: A method for securely supplying data to be used in parameterizing a device for an industrial automation system includes a first party supplying a second party with a machine-readable standardized container for the exchange of device parameters in industrial automation systems, wherein the supplying comprises writing into the container an encrypted primary security credential to be used by the device for establishing trust with the industrial automation system. In another aspect, a method for securely obtaining data to be used in parameterizing a device for an industrial automation system includes obtaining, from a first party, by a second party, a machine-readable standardized container for the exchange of device parameters in industrial automation systems, the container comprising an encrypted primary security credential to be used by the device for establishing trust with the industrial automation system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for semantic-based planning, engineering, and commissioning a project in a building or home automation system, using multiple technologies/protocols of devices including sensors, actuators and control devices, the method being based on a semantic based model having an automatic configuration generation for specific technologies/protocols from a function-based device specification, the method including the following multiple transformation steps: calculating/creating a configuration for a specific protocol/technology using a mapping complex or structure of rules or processing instructions that takes into account the semantic-based model, technology models, heuristics, and/or technology constraints of the devices; generating an internal model of the building automation system with communication objects as an output of the automatic created configuration calculation; transforming the internal model, depending on a targeted technology/protocol, in order to create either application programming interface (API) calls or a format for a mandatory tool, and downloading the created configuration into the building automation devices.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a first data packet from a receiving input-buffer to a receiving output-buffer, the first data packet in the receiving input-buffer having a non-TSN format and the first data packet in the receiving output-buffer being TSN-compliant, includes the steps of: analysing the first data packet, which has been retrieved from a non-TSN device, in the receiving input-buffer; adding a first data packet time to the first data packet according to a Precision Time Protocol (PTP); adding a predefined first data packet priority level to the first data packet according to a Priority Code Point (PCP) of an 802.1Q tag; transmitting the first data packet to the receiving output-buffer; and sending the first data packet according to the first data packet priority level to a TSN-compliant device.
