A method and an engineering system for generating and handling component applications (CA. . . CAn) for physical components (C. . . Cn) such as a programmable control (Programmable Logic Control (PLC)), Human Machine Interface (HMI) and/or a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Unit (SCADA) of a control system (CA), in which instances (ICF. . . ICFn) of component functions (CF. . . CFn) for the components (C. . . Cn) are produced and from which the component applications (CA. . . CAn) are generated, the generated component applications (CA. . . CAn) being loaded to the physical components (C. . . Cn).

Method for generating and handling applications for components of a distributed control system and engineering system for implementing the process

A method for evaluating use of a service and/or function provided by an automation component. To implement an evaluation of a use of the service and/or functions of the automation component with little hardware complexity, a web service is called by a web service call, the web service call or a function call generated by the web service is recognized by means of a recognition module implemented in the automation component, service and/or function information that regards the called service and/or function and that is contained in the web service call or the function call is read out by means of the recognition module, the web service is executed after release, service- and/or function-specific data are detected by means of a detection module during the execution of the web service, and the service and/or function provided by the automation component is evaluated.
