Abstract:
1. A method for defining a dynamic view in a modeling of an automation system via a modeling tool, comprising: displaying a first sequence description of a model of the automation system, the first sequence description including a first sequence flow, the first sequence description contained in a first file; displaying a second sequence description of the model of the automation system, the second sequence description including a second sequence flow of the automation system, the second, sequence description contained in a second file; identifying a first object from the displayed first sequence flow; identifying a second object from the displayed second sequence flow; linking the first sequence description to the second sequence description via a first external link in the first file, the linking after the identifying the second object; and linking the second sequence description to the first sequence description via a second external link in the second file, the linking after the identifying the first object, wherein the displaying the model is on an electronic display device, the identified first object is identified as an external transition in and the identified second object is identified as an external transition out such that an external transition is added from the identified first object to the identified second object.
