Unique identification of automation components

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the unique identification of at least one component of an automation system. The invention has for its object to propose a method for unique identification of automation components, which avoids the disadvantages of the known solutions and simplifies the configuration. This object is achieved by a method for globally unambiguous identification of at least one component of an automation system, wherein the component is uniquely assigned by means of multi-dimensional coordinates, a location information that designates a point within the component and transmitted to the automation system and / or provided to the automation system becomes.
