Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1An example of an automation system A is shown in a simplified schematic diagram, by means of which most of the technical aspects of the process in a technical installation, such as a technical manufacturing facility, production facility or energy generation facility, are controlled, regulated and monitored. Automation system A has a large number of process-related components (field devices, components, I / O systems, controllers) which carry out predetermined measuring, control and regulating functions at the field level (ie in the process). The field devices exchange process, function and / or device-related data with each other and with higher control and management levels via a communication system (here Profibus TB). Field-level communication systems interface with a large number of automation devices, such as programmable logic controllers (SPS). The automation devices AS1 , AS2 are in turn connected to a higher-level computer system via a further communicati...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for engineering an automation system (A). An automation system (A) is usually tested before being put into operation. For each real component (OS1, OS2, AS1, AS2), a so-called digital twin or a virtual component (VOS1, VO2, VAS1, VAS2) is generated and loaded onto a server (ES, S) in order to perform the function of the real components in a simulated manner in place of said real components. It is thus possible for a user to replace various real components with virtual components during the engineering process and to check or simulate the function of the automation system. This makes it possible to perform a synchronous optimisation of automation systems or to put automation programmes and system displays into operation in a coexistent, safe, flexible, and incremental manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for an engineering planning automation system for controlling processes in a method-technical installation, wherein the automation system comprises multiple systems for implementing display, operating and automation functions and connected to each other via a communication system hardware components. The invention also relates to an automated system designed to carry out the method. Background technique [0002] The so-called "digital twin" is a well-known production technology. Here, a computer-aided image or representation of an object in the real world. According to Gabler Wirtschaftslexikon (https: / / Wirtschaftslexikon.Gabler.de / definition / digitaler-zwilling-54371), a digital twin is defined as a virtual model of eg a process, product or service, which connects the real and virtual worlds. Numerical twins are built from data and algorithms and use real data from installed sensors that represent, for example, the ...
