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
