An automation system includes at least one automation object, with a directory for storing object names of the at least one automation object. An object name is assigned a directory entry which includes first information data as a reference to the automation object; second information data as a description of technological functionality; and third information data as a description of interfaces of the automation object. This results in immediate and permanent access to currently created (partial) solutions, so that parallel and/or distributed working on automation objects is possible.

Automation system with automation objects with a directory structure and method for the management of automations objects in a directory structure

An automation system with at least one automation object having a first component for generating a system functionality, a second component for generating a base functionality, and a third component for managing at least one module. Each module has a first module component for generating a system functionality, a second module component for generating a base functionality and a third module component for generating a technological functionality.

Automation system with automation objects consisting of module components

The invention relates to a method for the automatic retrieval of engineering data from installations. The engineering and runtime objects are described by a uniform object model. This allows the correspondence between engineering objects and runtime objects to be determined at object level and no information is lost as a result of the mapping. In addition, a direct communication between engineering and runtime objects can take place, which can be utilized when the method is carried out.

Method for the automatic retrieval of engineering data of systems

The present invention relates to an automation system with at least one automation module (1), which has at least one automation object (A -An), and with function modules (F F ), which contain means for central management and maintenance of the automation objects (A An). As a result, a manufacturer-independent definition of new automation objects, possibly using already existing automation objects, becomes possible, costly separate programming of new automation solutions is no longer necessary at all or is at least significantly simplified.

Automation system with reusable automation objects and method for reusing automation solutions in engineering tools

A system of case-based reasoning for sensor prediction in a technical process, especially in a cement kiln, method and apparatus therefore, and wherein the system provides accurate predictions of the cement kiln behavior for a limited period into the future. The invention utilizes a method of case-base-reasoning (CBR) for the task of sensor value prediction. An apparatus for implementing the method is characterized by a database ( ) in which the relevant time interval data are stored, a test generator ( ) and an optimisation unit ( ) for the selection and optimisation of the time interval data.
