 Aspects and
Objects Aspect Object Concept
 Plant entities are represented as Aspect
Objects
 Valves, Pumps, Vessels, …
 Batch, Product, Raw Material, ...

 Objects have different Aspects

 Graphics, Alarms, Trends, Reports
 Mechanical Layout, Control Aspect
 Order Definition, Cost...

 Different aspects are managed through

different Aspect Systems
 History: Historian
 Control aspect: Control Builder
 Process Graphics aspect: Graphics Builder
 Mechanical aspect: AutoCAD
 Order handling: SAP
