This paper covers the automatic configuration of robot systems under consideration of its upward integration into higher automation levels and the downward integration of peripheral devices into the robot control. First the use of automatic configuration in current production environments is examined, followed by an analysis of the paradigm shift in automation technology. Subsequently approaches for machine readable functional descriptions of industrial equipment are outlined.
