Currently, ontological models are increasingly used for structural and functional representation of information systems. The existing documents standardizing the development of ontological models focus on the description of robotic systems; the specifics of automation systems, in particular signal interaction of equipment, are not considered. The purpose of the authors of the article is to generalize the existing experience of ontological modeling in the field of automation, automatic configuration of information systems using ontological models, ontological modeling of dynamic processes. The article contains a list of competency questions to the ontological model, the answers to which reflect aspects of the key concepts description of the automation subject area – a signal and its semantic component, equipment, function, system. In accordance with the competency questions, a high-level ontological model of the automation object has been developed, implemented in the OWL 2 DL (Ontology Web Language 2 Description Logic) language. The relevance of the work is caused by the need to develop an ontological model of an automation object that considers the concepts of subject areas related to automation, subject to automated processing and specifies a data model required for the tasks of configuring automation system software and compiling design documentation for an automation object. The novelty of the article lies in proposing an object ontological model based on both the basic concepts of control theory and the concepts of related subject areas of object description. A comparison of methods for structuring knowledge of several subject areas in multi-domain ontologies and top-level ontologies of the OWL 2 DL language is presented. Promising areas for further research in the field of developing external tools for automated configuration of automation systems using ontological model data are indicated.
