The invention relates to a system and a method for providing specifications for a project, in particular for an engineering project for creating an automation solution. The system comprises first means for creating a file containing the specifications and at least one project planning environment for creating a solution on the basis of the specifications, with the file containing the specifications being imported into the at least one project planning environment as meta knowledge. A simple provision of specifications to be used for a project is hereby enabled.

System and method for rule-based distributed engineering

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.

Help system with an online help facility and an offline help facility, an automation device with such a help system and a method for providing help data

The invention relates to a system and a method for managing and/or providing elements, in particular technological objects. The system enables elements, in particular technological objects, to be reused in the development of a project engineering solution. Here, at least one element is created, in particular by a user of the system, with the at least one element serving as a template for the generation of an exemplar as an image or a plurality of exemplars as images of the element. The created elements are stored in a library and an exemplar of a stored element is created, the exemplar being used in the development of a solution, in particular an automation solution.
