METHOD FOR DETERMINING COMPONENT PARAMETERS AND DEVICE

摘要

Industrial systems, also known as automation systems are used for automatically producing products and for automatically carrying out processes. The starting up and shutting down of said type of complex system is a process which lasts for a long period of time and is preformed manually because the interaction of the components is too complex to explicitly program an execution sequence. In general it is not known how high the actual energy consumption of the individual components in different modes is. The aim of the invention is to provide a method by means of which it is possible to determine said values for the components, in particular in automations systems. For the modes and mode transitions of the components, operational scenarios adapted to the system structure are carried out and the energy consumption of the component(s) is measured. Said information which is later used when necessary for switching is input into the system model and is used for calculating suitable switching sequences, in particular for switching the system into an energy-saving mode. Said information contains, for example, the power consumptions of the individual components in different modes, and the times and the charge paths for respective mode transitions in the components.
