Abstract
Modern industrial processes have grown to be increasingly complex and their development is under tighter time and resource constraints. During the design lifecycle, the handover between process design and automation engineering is a critical step. This paper presents a standards-driven method for supporting the design to automation continuum. The source data format is ISO 15926 Proteus XML. Automation software describing control loops, alarms and interlocks are added as generic attributes in the Instrumentation Loop Function of the Proteus file. The target format is PLCopen XML for IEC 61131-3 based automation software. Control software code, global variables and the main program declarations and body, is auto-generated and defines the basic structure of the automation application. The standards-based method is compared with an applied approach based on state-of-the-art tools used by the industry.
