Abstract
A computer-implemented method for reverse engineering control logic of a module for a modular industrial plant includes: obtaining module-related data including runtime data relating to prior use of the module during a timeperiod in which at least one piece of equipment of the module transitions from a first equipment state to a second equipment state, the runtime data including tags indicating the equipment state of the equipment at a plurality of timepoints during the timeperiod; and inferring from the module-related data one or more equipment state transition conditions causing the equipment to transition from the first equipment state to the second equipment state.
