Method and system for automatically generating data points in a data management system. A control strategy and variables used in the control strategy can be configured, wherein the control strategy governs a data management system associated with a controller. The control strategy and the variables can be downloaded to the controller after configuring the control strategy and variables. The control strategy is then run on the controller and published to the data management system before, during, or after downloading of the control strategy. All available variables in the controller are then automatically listed so as to generate data points that can be downloaded and updated through a communication channel between the data management system and the controller.

Efficient method and system for automatically generating data points in a SCADA system

A method of configuring an automation control system using point configuration software. At least an extract from a control program file having program elements and program element attributes for executing in an automatic controller of the automation control system is translated into a common representation including common program element types and common attributes. Mapping template files are applied including mapping rules and mapping parameters defining how the program elements and program element attributes are mapped into at least one automation system point with point attributes, and values for each point attribute. Common program element types and/or common attributes are matched with the mapping template files according to the mapping rules to generate at least one matching program element. The matching program element is converted into an automation system point configuration (system point configuration) which is stored in persistent storage of or accessible by the automation control system.
