EXPLICIT IDENTIFICATION OF AUTOMATION COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the explicit identification of at least one component of an automation system. The aim of the invention is to propose a method for the explicit identification of automation components that prevents the disadvantages of the known solutions and simplifies project planning. This aim is attained using a method for the worldwide explicit identification of at least one component of an automation system, wherein the component is associated in a one-to-one fashion with location information by means of multidimensional coordinates, said information designating a point inside the component and being transmitted to the automation system and/or being provided for the automation system.
