Self-learning routine for checking compatibility

An operating method for a planning tool, a control program for an industrial technical control system being created via the planning tool, the control program comprising program data, the method comprising:

• assigning names to the program data by the planning tool based on corresponding specifications by a user of the planning tool, on the basis of which names the program data is individualized in relation to the other program data of the control program;
• checking, by the planning tool, names of program data of the control program before the transmission of the control program to the data processing facility, via a checking routine, for compatibility with the data processing facility;
• transmitting the control program to a data processing facility after creation of the control program by the planning tool;
• outputting, by the planning tool, whenever said planning tool identifies a name incompatibility via the checking routine, a corresponding error message to the user, otherwise whenever said planning tool identifies no name incompatibility via the checking routine, outputting by the planning tool one of (i) no message and (ii) a message (OK) indicating that no error has been identified to the user;
• receiving, by the planning tool, an assessment of the control program from the data processing facility;
• and
• retraining, by the planning tool, the checking routine based on the control program and the received assessment such that the checking routine gradually learns which names for the program data are compatible with the data processing facility.
