Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 Shows a very simplified schematic diagram of a software tool hereinafter referred to simply as an engineering system 10, which has an application framework 12 (English: application framework), at least one basic application 14 and a data management system 16 (English: : data platform, data base). The or each basic application 14 provides, for example, a work area with one or more windows. The application framework 12 typically provides a list of noted functions (e.g. "insert object", "delete object", etc.) and tools (e.g. "zoom", "open / close Gridlines, etc.) menu. The or each basic application 14 manages its data by means of a data management system 16 in order to be able to save the data.

[0022] and figure 1 In contrast to the illustrated concept in which a plurality of constant basic applications 14 themselves implement the same or similar functions themselves, the invention proposes an abstraction that is compatible with the individual object domains t...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a software tool for automation technology. The software tool has a functionality for an output converter (28), wherein, a plurality of applications (20, 22), which are each intended for a dedicated object domain, are or can be combined with the software tool at the same time, each application (20, 22) comprises at least one first software interface (26) for access to the output converter (28), and wherein the output converter (28) comprises at least one conversion component (30, 32, 34) for conversion of objects (40, 42, 44; 46, 48, 50) from an object domain of the application (20, 22) to an object (36, 38, 39) of an abstract object model which is defined for the output component (24).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a software tool for automation technology. Software tools for automation technology refer in particular to design systems, engineering systems, debuggers, etc. Background technique [0002] Software tools for automation technology are known per se. The applicant offers an engineering system for automation technology, known for example under the brand STEP, for the programming of automation devices, such as programmable controllers or similar devices. This engineering system or any other software tool that can be programmed by end users is a software program itself, and due to the powerful functions provided, it requires a lot of costs for its development, maintenance and improvement. [0003] To date, the development of such software tools has been largely influenced by multiple developments, that is, for different software tools, functions which are necessary for each software tool in the same or similar way have been patent...
