Abstract
An optimized and automated design of technical installations to be planned individually is provided. For this purpose, operating parameters are first of all recorded in pre-existing technical installations and stored centrally. If the intention is to plan a new technical installation, then the specifications for the new installation may be compared with the previously recorded operating parameters in order to efficiently generate an optimum configuration of the new technical installation.
Claims14
An arrangement for configuring a technical system, having:
- a number of recording devices, wherein each recording device is designed to record predetermined operating parameters of a respective existing technical system;
- a storage device that is designed to receive and to store the operating parameters recorded by the number of recording devices;
- and
- a configuration device that is designed to receive predefined specifications for a technical system to be newly designed, to read the operating parameters stored in the storage device, and to use the predefined specifications and the stored operating parameters to determine a configuration for the technical system to be newly designed.
A method for configuring a technical system, having the steps of:
- recording predetermined operating parameters of a number of existing technical systems;
- storing the recorded operating parameters in a central storage device;
- receiving predefined specifications for a technical system to be newly designed;
- reading the operating parameters stored in the storage device;
- and
- determining a configuration for a technical system to be newly designed using the predefined specifications and the stored operating parameters.
