Method for creating a digital representation of a process automation plant in a cloud-based service platform

摘要

The invention comprises a method for creating a digital representation of a plant (A) of process automation in a cloud-based service platform (SP), wherein the plant (A) comprises a plurality of measuring points (MS1, MS2) and assets (AS1, AS2, AS3, AS4, AS5), in particular field devices, where in each of the measuring points (MS1, MS2) one or more assets (AS1, ...., AS5) are integrated, comprehensively:-Reading of TAG information (TAG) by means of an edge device (ED) from each of the assets (AS1, .AS5), wherein the TAG information (TAG) is present in the data type of a string, in particular in a string data type, and wherein the TAG information (TAG) represents the hierarchical structure of the respective asset (AS1, .AS5) in the attachment (A);– transfer the TAG information (TAG) from the Edge Device (ED) to the Cloud-based Service Platform (SP);-Parse all TAG information (TAG) by an application running on the cloud-based service platform (SP), using logic for parsing, extracting from the TAG information (TAG) at least the name of the asset (AS1, .AS5) and the name of the measuring point (MS1, MS2) in which the asset is embedded; and– Create a structure plan (PL) of the plant (A) by means of the application, wherein the structure plan (PL) includes all measuring points extracted from the TAG information (TAG) of the plant (A) with all the assets associated with the measuring points (MS1, MS2) extracted from the TAG information (TAG) extracted (AS1, ...., AS5), in particular in a tree structure.
