Method and system for generating and monitoring of resource maps based on their affinities in a service-based industrial automation system

摘要

The invention relates to a method for generating a graphical representation of resources (RES1 ... RESn) of a service-based industrial automation system (IAS) such as an industrial automation system with an Enterprise Architecture like ISA'95, whereby each resource (RES 1 ... RESn) has a unique identifier within the industrial automation system (IAS). TO improve the information about the generation of particular events in the system as well as affinities between them it is proposed to define of at least one affinity (AF1 ...AFn) between at least two of the resources (RES1 ... RESn) or at least one of the resources (RES1 ... RESn) itself, whereby the at least one affinity (AF1 ... AFn) is described by at least one property and at least one timestamp.
