Abstract:
1. A method for creating a project planning for an operating device of a automation component, the method comprising: providing direct information about the applicability of the project planning for the operating device such that the information can be directly recorded within the framework of a operating interface of project planning software, separately displaying information about the applicability of the project planning for the operating device on both the operating interface and a computer at the same time, wherein information about the size of a runtime memory required to execute the project planning in the operating interface is visually represented on a computer screen by the total length of a display bar, wherein a change in the size of runtime memory required to execute the project planning in the operating interface results in a change in the total length of the display bar, wherein the computer displays the runtime memory display bar and an operating screen of the operating interface on the same screen, wherein the display bar includes a color changing background indicating the usable memory of the operating interface, the color changing background comprising at least a first background color transitioning to a second background color, wherein extension of the length of the display bar from the first background color in the direction of the second background color indicates progressively more of the amount of memory of the operating interface that is needed to execute the project planning in accordance with the runtime memory requirement, and wherein when the total length of the display bar extends past the first background color to further most distal end of the second background color the memory limit of the operating interface is reached.
