Patent ID: 10761523

Abstract:
A method for controlling an automation system (1) comprising: rendering, by a processor, an image (16, 22, 40) from a three-dimensional scene representing at least part of the automation system (1) on the basis of position data and viewing direction data, displaying the image (16, 22, 40) on a display unit (10), wherein the automation system (1) comprises a plurality of components (2, 4, 18, 20), wherein a tree structure (24) is stored in a data memory in which nodes (28, 30, 32, 34) are assigned to the components (2, 4, 18, 20) of the automation system (1), is to process and display all details necessary for the tasks of controlling an automation system and on the other hand minimize the required computing capacity. For this purpose, a focus component is determined, and from the scene only those components (2, 4, 18, 20) of the part of the automation system (1) are loaded into the processor for rendering whose assigned nodes (28, 30, 32, 34) in the tree structure (24) have only a predetermined maximum distance from the node (28, 30, 32, 34) assigned to the focus component.
