METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLUSTERING ENGINEERING DATA IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENGINEERING SYSTEM

摘要

The preferred embodiments described below include methods, systems and computer readable media for clustering engineering data in a multidisciplinary engineering system. Engineering data in a multidisciplinary engineering system is grouped into clusters (601) of data that can be used to represent an engineering purpose in the multidisciplinary engineering system. The engineering data can be grouped for any engineering purpose, such as a group of devices included in a safety area of an automated facility, a group of devices included in an automation system or a group of devices that are assigned to a specific bus controller. Workstations (305) can access, view and modify the clusters (601) of engineering data from engineering discipline specific engineering applications (307).
