In the life cycle of production systems, effectiveness
and efficiency of engineering have become increasingly important.
Along the complete engineering chain, both qualities are strongly
related to the management of engineering data consistency.
Consistency and configuration management require representing dependencies in the engineering data, specifically between
engineering objects and their properties. While the open AutomationML standard provides capabilities to represent interfaces and
dependencies within an engineering object, it remains open how
to represent general consistency or configuration dependencies
between different engineering objects and their properties. In
this paper, we address dependency modelling for engineering
data in an AutomationML-based engineering tool chain, as a
representative example of engineering chains. We introduce a
general dependency representation for engineering objects and
their properties in AutomationML. We evaluate the dependency
representation capabilities in a use case and derive a research
agenda.
