Abstract:
A method of producing a specific planning document for control equipment to be planned for a technical system, in particular for power plant control equipment to be planned for a power plant, and to a device designed to carry out the method are provided. A specific description of a technical system is created. Using the specific description, planning objects are selected from an archive having specified planning objects. Then the selected planning objects are adapted to the system using the specific description, wherein the specific planning document is formed from the adapted or specific planning objects.
Abstract:
A method of drafting a program code of control and instrumentation technology for operating a plant is disclosed using industrial components. The program code, in its graphical representation, comprises a plurality of sub-plans. The program code of the control and instrumentation technology and the industrial components are represented together in a machine-readable technology plan. The sub-plans, especially the functional plans of the individual plane, are automatically generated from the technology plan, and the individual sequences of the program code are generated from the functional plans. The method makes manual drafting or manual correction project planning superfluous.
Abstract:
A first functional plan is created from a platform-independent, technological functional plan and a second functional plan, which is adapted to specific requirements of the target platform, is generated from the latter in a subsequent step. Finally, a software program for the target platform is generated essentially automatically, by way of the second functional plan. A corresponding device includes a read-in unit for reading in the first functional plan, and a memory device with a rule base for transferring at least one platform-independent port and/or parameter and/or functional module of the first functional plan into at least one further port and/or further parameter and/or further functional module of the second functional plan. The second functional plan is generated by a processing unit, by way of the rule base and the first functional plan.

Abstract:
A method and configuration system are used for producing an application-specific functional module from a predefined functional module for a programmable controller. In this context, a marking device is useable to mask out subfunctions of the predefined functional module, so that just the software code for those subfunctions which is required in order to satisfy the functionality of the application-specific functional module are readable into the programmable controller. In this case, it is simultaneously necessary to ensure that only that software code which is not imperatively required for calculating a result for at least one of the unmarked subfunctions is masked out and is therefore not read in.
