A Library System to Support Model Based User Interface Development in Industrial Automation
Conventional visualization systems in industrial automation are equipped with powerful library systems that offer aggregated reusable visualization elements. These represent important domain specific knowledge and promote the necessary consistent look and feel of visualizations. In contrast, modeling languages used in model based workflows do not offer library systems. This hinders the acceptance of such approaches in industrial automation. Hence, this paper presents an approach towards a library system for the model based development of visualizations. We present a generic approach that can be applied to a variety of modeling languages. A case study demonstrates this for one specific modeling language and illustrates the application of the library system.
