Abstract

A method for automatic generation of a specification for an IT topology of a control system, the method comprising: creating a system structure from a machine-readable data defining production process requirements and generating specification data of the IT topology based on the extracted system structure; optimizing the generated specification data of the IT topology by utilization of pre-defined rules and generating abstract aggregated IT topology data based on the optimized specification data; and instantiating and mapping the abstract aggregated IT topology data to specific technology instance data.
