An exemplary system and method for displaying technical equipment of an industrial plant includes a graphical display unit and a user interface for receiving image handling parameters. A data storing unit provides data relating to the technical equipment in the form of device data and network data describing a communication network of the industrial plant. The device data describes network devices which are all connected to the communication network and belong to the industrial plant, and the network data describes all the communication connections between the network devices. A data processing unit is arranged for retrieving the provided data, transforming all the device data and all the network data into displayable information, and providing the image representations together with other displayable information to the graphical display unit. The graphical display unit is arranged to display the image representations and other displayable information according to the image handling parameters.

System and method for visualizing technical equipment of an industrial plant

A system and method are disclosed for automated handling of at least one working step of a workflow in an automation and/or electrical engineering project via a data input interface, a processing unit and a data output interface connected to the processing unit for transmitting any data read in by the data input interface or generated by the processing unit to at least one of a data repository, another processing unit and/or a display unit. The data input interface can read in input values belonging to the at least one working step of the workflow, and an input uncertainty including a range of input values. The processing unit can generate an output value of the working step from the input value, and calculate an output uncertainty characterizing a range of the output value, by taking into account a parameter and/or a technical condition of the working step.

System and method for automated handling of a workflow in an automation and/or electrical engineering project

A system analyzer and a method for analyzing an impact of a change in a component of a distributed control system (DCS) are disclosed. The system can collect and store data representing the DCS components and their interconnection as well as signals of the DCS components. The DCS can be graphically modeled with nodes and directed edges, wherein a node represents either a type of DCS component or a signal of a DCS components, and wherein an edge is an 'influence'-edge, or a 'contains'-edge. Information on a change of a DCS components is received, a depth first or breadth first search is performed over the &#x201c;influence&#x201d;-edges and &#x201c;contains&#x201d;-edges and determine unchanged DCS components which would be affected by a malfunction, a removal or a taking out of operation of the at least one DCS component, and information on the affected DCS components is transmitted to an operator interface.
