Method for Operating an Automation Device

A process in which an automation device having a memory, into which an automation solution is pre-loaded, executes instructions set forth in a computer program which serves as a technology-oriented control interpreter, said computer program executing in a processing unit which, when used on the automation device, causes the processing unit to operate the automation device, the computer code comprising:

• program code for accessing a data warehouse of the automation solution by a technology-oriented control interpreter;
• program code for analyzing, by the technology-oriented control interpreter, external commands and implementing said external commands according to said analysis to control the external commands;
• program code for extracting, by the technology-oriented control interpreter, at least one entity designation and at least one instruction from a respective external command;
• program code for searching, by the technology-oriented control interpreter, for an object matching the at least one entity designation in the data warehouse of the automation solution;
• program code for checking whether the instruction contained in the command has been defined for the located object in an event of successfully locating the object matching the at least one entity designation in the data warehouse of the automation solution;
• and
• program code for executing, via the technology-oriented control interpreter, the instruction for the located object.

A non-transitory computer program product having program code means which are stored on a non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium and executed on an automation device for at least one of controlling and/or monitoring an installation, the computer program comprising:

• program code for accessing a data warehouse of the automation solution by a technology-oriented control interpreter;
• program code for analyzing, by the technology-oriented control interpreter, external commands and implementing said external commands according to said analysis to control the external commands;
• program code for extracting, by the technology-oriented control interpreter, at least one entity designation and at least one instruction from a respective external command;
• program code for searching, by the technology-oriented control interpreter, for an object matching the at least one entity designation in the data warehouse of the automation solution;
• program code for checking whether the instruction contained in the command has been defined for the located object in an event of successfully locating the object matching the at least one entity designation in the data warehouse of the automation solution;
• and
• program code for executing, via the technology-oriented control interpreter, the instruction for the located object.
