METHOD AND PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF A CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to automatic determination of the spatial structure (topology) of a control system (2) with respect to the position/ optional positions of components (S1-S4) in a system. Information on the spatial structure of a selected system component (S1) is determined with respect to the optional positions of other system components (S2-S4) by providing an information module (I1-I4) which is respectively associated with the system components (S1-S4), containing information on the spatial structure of each respective system component (S1-S4) which can be accessed via an associated interface.
