METHOD FOR ORCHESTRATING SERVICES OF A SERVICE-ORIENTED AUTOMATION SYSTEM AND ORCHESTRATION MACHINE
First Claim
1. Method for orchestration of services (S, WS) of a service-oriented automation system (SOAS), with system components (SMC, LCC) offering services (S, WS) depicting their functionality and querying services (S, WS) of other system components, with the behavior of the automation system (SOAS) being controlled through orchestration of the services (S, WS) of the system components (SMC, LCC) by means of an orchestration machine (OE),characterized in thatthe services (S, WS) are orchestrated at the device level, in that in each services (S, WS)- offering and/or querying system component (SMC, LCC) the at least one orchestration machine (OE) is implemented, with the HLPN model depicting the behavior of the automation system (SOAS) and/or the system components (SMC, LCC) interpreted and implemented by the orchestration machine integrated in each system component (SMC, LCC) while using HLPN models tailored to service-oriented systems.

Abstract
A method for orchestrating services of a service-oriented automation system (SOAS), system components (SMC, LCC) offering services (S, WS) that represent the functionality thereof and requesting services (S) of other system components (SMC, LCC), the behavior of the automation system (SOAS) being controlled by the orchestration of the services (S) of the system components (SMC, LCC) using an orchestration machine (OE), and to an orchestration machine for orchestrating services of a service-oriented automation system (SOAS). In order to achieve an orchestration of services at a device level, it is provided that the orchestration machine (OE) uses high-level Petri nets tailored to service-oriented systems and the orchestration of the services (S) at the device level is performed by interpretation and execution of various HLPN models, which represent the behavior of the automation system (SOAS) and/or the system components (SMC, LCC).
