Summary
The paper presents a method for transferring the language elements of graphical description languages used in automation engineering systematically into AutomationML domain libraries based on CAEX. The method has three phases: analysis of the source language, formalisation of a semantic domain model as CAEX libraries, and the definition of instantiation conventions for concrete models.
Rather than creating yet another data format, the approach builds on the existing, industrially established AutomationML ecosystem and so gives immediate interoperability with AutomationML-compliant tools. It is demonstrated with the Formalized Process Description (FPD) according to VDI 3682, whose language elements are mapped completely to a domain library. The library itself is presented in detail in the ETFA 2026 paper An AutomationML Domain Library for the Formalized Process Description.
