Abstract

An arrangement is connected to a distributed control system with modules connected as nodes to one or more connections in a communication system that operates with communication protocol. The arrangement comprises two or more interacting computer programs or tools for development, maintenance, etc, of the control system. A first computer program generates data relating to additional information or identification information. A second computer program is arranged to determine, using the identification information, whether the generated data can be processed in the second computer program. A data repository is arranged to store without sorting various data with the identification information, which stored data is arranged in a first data format. The respective computer program can retrieve data from or input data to the data repository. The respective computer program works with a database, and is arranged to change the format from the first data format to the second data format. By means of the invention, more rapid production of tools is made possible, with fewer sources of error.
