In a method, system, and storage medium for obtaining system diagnosis, a diagnosis domain is described that includes a number of possible diagnoses, the number of possible diagnoses prioritized based on at least one of a number of confidence levels, a preference function, and a calculation of a relationship between a number of confirmed system symptoms and a number of possible diagnoses. A number of hypotheses for incipient system symptoms is generated, and a hypothesis is selected from the generated number of hypotheses. Information is obtained regarding a number of system observations, and a selection relevant diagnostics for the system is obtained.

Computerized method and system for automated system diagnosis detection

The invention relates to a system and method for programming an automation system. To avoid conversion errors and to guarantee data during the programming of an automated system, a graphic description by means of pulse timing diagrams is used to generate a program of the automation system, in particular the program of a memory programmable control. Modifications of the pulse timing diagrams thus lead directly to modifications of the program of the memory programmable control, without the need for a renewed conversion that potentially contains errors.

System and method for programming an automation system, based on pulse timing diagrams

A system () and an associated method for a dynamic management of information data. The information data are in the form of information sources I of a virtual device K, which includes a plurality of virtual subcomponents T. . . Tn. The virtual device K represents a real device (), for instance an industrial facility. A comprehensive overview of the entire system as well as specific views of the subcomponents of the device are achieved in that the virtual subcomponents are embedded as programs and/or data in a networking frame structure. Therein, the virtual subcomponents correspond to technological structures of the real device (). The system has a data processing device () to manage the information data I associated with the virtual device K and to control access to the information data I. Local and/or global addresses are assigned to the virtual device K and its virtual subcomponents T. . . Tn. These addresses allow a user to perform a component-based navigation and a model-based navigation in different views S. . . SN of the system.
