Abstract

A project navigator for displaying technological objects hierarchically on a display device, in particular on a computer, is provided. The technological objects are mutually interconnected and model a machine with cascaded synchronous control. The technological objects are selected by a user input facility. For a selected technological object, an associated input and/or output side connection tree for the technological object is then displayed together with further technological objects.
