Abstract

A method for an automatic generation of industrial process graphics includes: receiving engineering data, device data, and sensor data of an industrial plant having a plurality of field devices, the engineering data, device data, and sensor data being assigned to a single or multiple field devices; extracting field device information for each field device of a plurality of the field devices from the assigned engineering data, device data, and sensor data; and generating a plurality of process graphics for each field device of the plurality of the field devices. The plurality of process graphics for each field device covers a plurality of different abstraction levels of the industrial plant.
