System and method for reusing of design related data

摘要

System (1) for management and or provision of partial solutions comprising elements (E) that can be used in an automation system. The system has first means for creating at least a partial solution (2 1-2 n) and a library for storing the created partial solutions. Second means are provided for creating at least a copy of a stored partial solution, whereby at least a copy of the partial solution is used to create a solution (4), especially an automation solution. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.
