Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de migration destiné à la migration de système de commande réparti qui utilise un parseur qui effectue le parsage d'informations de configuration de système d'un système de commande source dans un seul langage intermédiaire. Un module d'équivalence de blocs trouve ensuite des blocs de commande de système destination qui sont équivalents à des blocs de commande de système source et construit des boucles de commande logiques au moyen des blocs de commande de système destination. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, certains blocs de commande de système source peuvent être l'objet d'une migration vers deux blocs de commande de système destination. Des blocs de commande de système sources sélectionnés peuvent posséder des alarmes intégrées. Ces blocs de commande peuvent être l'objet d'une migration vers des blocs de commande avec des blocs d'alarme distincts.
