Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the automatic retrieval of engineering data from installations. The engineering and runtime objects are described by a uniform object model. This allows the correspondence between engineering objects and runtime objects to be determined at object level and no information is lost as a result of the mapping. In addition, a direct communication between engineering and runtime objects can take place, which can be utilized when the method is carried out.
