FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: method for providing a naming service inside an industrial automation system is proposed. In the proposed method, the communication devices of the industrial automation system through the naming service component verify whether the device name is associated with the corresponding communication device with a topological and/or hierarchical component of the name which essentially completely indicates the spatial or hierarchical arrangement of the corresponding communication device. If the check result is positive, the communication devices use their associated device names as full device names. If the check result is negative, the communication devices automatically generate their full device names from the topological and / or hierarchical components of the name, distributed via messages with router notifications, as well as the component of the name unambiguous within their respective partial network.
EFFECT: extended range of technical facilities for providing a naming service inside an industrial automation system.
