Provision of information in an automation system
First Claim
1. A system for provision of information in an automation system, comprising:
- an engineering system for generating information indicative of a project planning;
a plurality of storage devices for storing the information in the form of an information hierarchy, wherein the storage devices from hierarchy levels, and further wherein the plurality of storage devices is coupled to the engineering system for performing an automatic project planning;
at least a first storage device of the plurality of storage devices being configured to store one or more subordinate hierarchy storage levels for mapping the information in accordance with the one or more subordinate hierarchy storage levels;
at least second storage device of the plurality of storage devices being configured to store one or more superordinate hierarchy storage levels of the second storage device or mapping the information accordance with the one or more superordinate hierarchy storage levels of the second storage device wherein information mapped in accordance with the one or more superordinate hierarchy storage levels constitute enriched information relative to information mapped in accordance with the one or more subordinate hierarchy storage levels;
a processor configured to link information mapped in accordance with the one or more subordinate hierarchy storage levels in the first storage device to the second storage device to generate enriched information mapped in accordance with the one or more superordinate hierarchy storage levels; and
an access mechanism for access to the stored information the information is stored in XML formats.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system and a method for providing information in an automation system, which permits scaled access to said information. The system contains storage means for storing information in the form of an information hierarchy, whereby said storage means form hierarchical tiers and to enhance the information the system comprises first storage means of lower-level hierarchical tiers for the provision of information to second storage means of higher-level hierarchical tiers. The system also contains an engineering system for generating the information from projected information of the automation system and for the automatic projection of the storage means and access means, for accessing the stored information.
