A method for energy-efficient control of an installation comprises providing a plurality of components, wherein at least one of the plurality of components is able to adopt at least a first, high-energy active state and a second, low-energy standby state. Individual components in the active state have logical dependencies among one another. The method also includes ascertaining for at least one of the plurality of components to store component-specific time information and non-component-specific time information based on the logical dependency with respect to at least one other component.

Method and device for the energy-efficient control of a plant

A method for monitoring a process and/or production plant, which includes a plurality of components and which is planned using a plurality of engineering systems, includes a step of providing first result data pertaining to at least one portion of the plurality of components using a first of the plurality of engineering systems, and second result data pertaining to at least one portion of the plurality of components using a second of the plurality of engineering systems. The method also includes a step of extracting topology data, which describe an arrangement of the plurality of components within the process and/or automation plant, and operating data for the plurality of components from the first and second result data. The method further includes creating a model for the process and/or production plant by using the topology data and the operating data. Also disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Method for monitoring a process and/or production plant

A device and a method for identifying parameters of at least one field device used in automation technology are provided. To simplify the assignment of parameters to field devices in automated systems, the behavior of the field device is monitored and operating information that describes the field device behavior is recorded. The operating information is stored in a first memory area, a manufacturer-independent field device model is stored in a second memory area and model parameters belonging to the manufacturer-independent field device model are identified on the basis of the operating information with the aid of a processing unit.

Parameter identification for field devices used in automation technology

The invention relates to a system and a method for simplified provision of services () within a network () comprising coupled computers (), wherein the computers () have storage means () for storing objects (), with the objects () having first means () for loading, storing and processing descriptions () of groups (), with the objects () having second means () for loading, storing and executing services () assigned by the respective groups (), with a group () having associated with it in each case the objects () that have stored the description () of the respective group (), with the description () of a group () determining the semantics of the services () assigned to the respective group (), with the objects () having search means () for conducting parallel searches within different groups () for objects () having the services () assigned to the respective group () and executable by the respective objects (), and with the objects () having third means () for initiating the execution of the services () which can be executed by another object () of the group () and are assigned to the respective group ().

Provision of services in a network comprising coupled computers

A low-voltage power installation in which elements are to be interconnected via an energy distribution system with several sections configured by a specification of the elements and the sections. The elements and the sections are specified by access to a catalogue from which predefined specifications can be selected via an interface. The design of the sections can be checked, supplemented or corrected according to a dimensioning criterion.
