A method and a device for planning an industrial automation arrangement, where an object model is generated from data objects, which represent automation components, and from relationships between these objects, a sequence of control actions by a user is used to select the objects from an object library and to relate them to one another. A plurality of sequences of control actions and their respective effects on the object model are stored as respective entity control trees with control steps, where at least two of the entity control trees are selected and used to generate a generalized type control tree using a first comparison, and the type of control tree is used to automatically plan the industrial automation arrangement.

A method and a system for the synchronization of data between applications are provided. Data is exchanged at least partially between the applications, the exchanged data being synchronized with the data that is present in the respective application. To simplify the synchronization process, according to the invention an identification that signifies incompleteness is assigned to the data.
