Abstract
There is described a method for localizing faulty hardware components and/or system errors within a production plant comprising several hardware components, with the production plant and the individual hardware components thereof being managed and/or configured by means of automation software and with the production plant being visualized and/or controlled by means of HMI software. Provision is made for identification data of the hardware components and/or groups of hardware components to be detected by the automation software and for information relating to the site to be assigned to the individual hardware components and/or groups of hardware components by means of the automation software and/or HMI software on the basis of identification data such that in the event of error messages as a result of faulty hardware components or in the event of system errors, a localization of the affected hardware component and/or group of hardware components is enabled within the production plant.
