N2 - Piping and instrumentation diagrams (PIDs) are commonly used in the process industry's detailed engineering to describe process flows and to serve as a basis for the systems design of processing plants. These diagrams (documents) serve as a basis for upcoming engineering activities, especially the development of control software. Changes in PIDs often entail adaption of the respective control software. Although these adaptions often realized manually, the development of control software is characterized by painstaking effort and a tendency to prolong projects. This paper therefore proposes an approach that segments PIDs according the ISA-88 standard. An implemented prototype subsequently generates modular control software based on the PLCopen standardized exchange format. Within an implemented prototype, the approach was evaluated on a sample PID derived from a representative lab-size demonstrator, which highlighted the ability to reduce time and costs during the development of control software.
