Abstract :
This paper presents an object-oriented approach for interfacing industrial automation software with technical plants. The paper focuses on strategies for structuring the software in objects in such a way that the structure may be applied even when using different communication systems. A case study, the automation of a modular production system based on an industrial fieldbus is presented
