A method for computer-aided analysis of an automation plant to which a plurality of networked devices are assigned, wherein information pertaining to the networked devices including their device types and interconnections is acquired and a network topology is generated which represents the networking of the devices. A respective device is then assigned, according to its device type, to one hierarchy level of a plurality of hierarchy levels defined for the automation plant. A topology of the automation plant is then displayed on a user interface on which a section is provided for each hierarchy level, where devices assigned to a respective hierarchy level are disposed as elements in a section provided for the respective hierarchy level and are interconnected based on the networking according to the network topology. |
