The inventive method interacts with a
project planning window, which has a working area at least with one window for a
project planning level for displaying and linking graphic objects and with a window for a symbol
library containing the graphic objects available for a
project planning. To this end, graphic control objects are provided, which represent technical objects of the installation and graphic
control unit objects, which represent control units that can be used for a control. In a first step, the control objects of a project planning are activated in the window for the
system library and transmitted into the project planning level. In a second step, the transmitted control objects are, in the window of the project planning level, subsequently linked in a logical manner according to a control task. In a third step, at least one
control unit object is activated in the symbol
library and transmitted into the project planning level. In a fourth step, the graphic
control unit object is assigned to selected graphic control objects. The invention offers the
advantage of enabling, in a closed project
planning method, both the graphic control objects, which are required for controlling installation resources, as well as control unit objects, which are required for operating and monitoring the control, to be linked in a defined and logical manner.
