Abstract:
1. A method for automatic programming, which comprises the steps of: specifying model units simulating signal inputs and signal outputs of functional units of a target system, the model units modeling the functional units; during the step of specifying the model units, taking into account programming stipulations which allow an editing function to determine, at a time of execution, the signal inputs and the signal outputs which a model unit has; linking the model units to form an overall model by associating the signal outputs with the signal inputs using the editing function; providing the model units each respectively with an automatic programming function which, owing to an incorporation of the model unit into the overall model, produces program commands for one of a continued processing of the overall model with another program and for controlling the target system containing the functional units; and performing the automatic programming function as a compiling function which, owing to an incorporation of the model unit into the overall model, produces a portion of a program specific to the target system for controlling a functional unit simulated by a given model unit.
