The preferred embodiments described below include methods, systems and computer readable media for cross discipline data validation checking in a multidisciplinary system. One or more multidisciplinary validation rules are used to perform cross discipline data validation checking to determine whether multidisciplinary data is consistent across engineering disciplines. The multidisciplinary validation rules define the scope of the validation checking within the engineering application () associated each engineering discipline. The results of the validation check are provided to the user.

Method and system for cross discipline data validation checking in a multidisciplinary engineering system

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, a system and method for automatically updating a multi-hierarchal representation of the system when building and tracking an automation engineering environment, wherein navigation schemes that automatically search for and connect to engineering objects based on predefined relations in multi-dimensional hierarchies are defined within an engineering object of the automation project in order to react to changes within a multi-disciplinary automation project, where the engineering object also includes an intelligent extraction port that automatically extracts predefined property data from a source engineering object when the source engineering object is connected to the engineering object.

Building and tracking of an automation engineering environment

The preferred embodiments described include methods, systems, and computer readable media for linking data in a multidisciplinary engineering system. One or more multidisciplinary templates are created for a multidisciplinary engineering system. Reusable multidisciplinary templates link engineering objects and parameters between engineering disciplines. The objects and parameters in the template may be linked to one or more disciplines based on role, responsibility, department or other criteria. Changes to the template may be propagated to each discipline affected by the changes. The template may also link data entered at the engineering applications () and facilitate workflows and sign-off procedures between applications ().

The preferred embodiments described below include methods, systems and computer readable media for generating programmable logic controller (PLC) code based on a connectivity model in a multidisciplinary engineering system. The connectivity model provides interfacesandand connectionsbetween various aspects of the multidisciplinary engineering system to provide engineering data, code scripts, executables, calls and other information that is used to generate PLC code. Code generation rulesare employed utilizing the engineering data, code scripts, executables, calls and other information received using the connectivity model to generate PLC code.
