A component of the technical system, a component designation and a characteristic parameter designation for a characteristic parameter of relevance to the design of the components are read and a search engine is queried with same is provided. The documents found by the search engine are read and component information, e.g. product information concerning a specific component, is extracted from said documents. The extracted component information is supplied to a machine learning routine which has been trained, using a plurality of predefined training component information and training characteristic parameter values, to reproduce predefined training characteristic parameter values using predefined training component information. Output data from the machine learning routine is selected as characteristic parameter values and inserted into a planning data record. The planning data record is then output to design the technical system.

Method and system for computer-aided design of a technical system

Provided is a method for operating a system including components controllable by control variables, including the determining of at least one optimized control variable at an optimization period for minimizing or maximizing a target function of the system in such a way that at least one system variable fulfills predetermined secondary conditions with respect to the control period, wherein the determining includes the establishment of an evaluation function for each of the secondary conditions to evaluate a change of the system variable at the end of the optimization period based on a current value of the system variable at the beginning of the optimization period, based on a gradient of the system variable relating to the secondary condition and maximally achievable over the control period, and based on a gradient relating to the secondary condition and minimally achievable over the control period.

Method and apparatus for operating a technical system

A help system, an automation device with such a help system and a method for providing help data are disclosed. The help system includes a first offline help facility which is installed as part of an application on a data processing device, the first help facility providing a user with help data based upon context data defined by the user, the help data being stored in the first help facility and thus on the data processing device. A second online help facility is provided which is accessed by the data processing device via the internet such that the context data defined by the user in relation to the first help facility is automatically adopted in the second help facility as context data, the second help facility providing the user with additional help data based on this context data, the help data being stored in the second help facility.
