Abstract
In order to simplify the HMI design of HMI surfaces for operating and observing automation components with the aid of an HMI unit, HMI data are derived directly from the engineering process. The generation of relevant HMI data is therefore integrated in the operation for commissioning, designing and programming an automation component such that HMI information is also generated by simple operating actions or in an automated fashion in normal engineering.
Claims16
A method for generating operating components for operating devices of automation components, characterized by engineering an automation component by means of a plurality of engineering steps in an engineering system, offering one or more design steps for an operating component in the case of one or more of the engineering steps, and assembling the operating component at least partly with the aid of the design steps and the information on which the engineering steps are based.
The method data for the operating component are stored on an automation component, outside the automation component, on an operating device or on a data server.
A device for parametrizing, commissioning and programming controllers, having an engineering device for the purpose of providing for an operator the engineering steps relating to parametrization, commissioning and/or programming, characterized in that the engineering device can be used to set operating components for operating devices of automation components by offering the operator one or more design steps for an operating component in the case of one or more of the engineering steps.
