Abstract: The invention relates to a method for exchanging data between stations or nodes (111, 121, 122, 123, 131, 132, 133, 141, 142, 143) from different realtime capable networks (120, 130, 140) and from non-realtime capable networks (110). To this end, data is generated in a realtime capable network (120, 130, 140), a time stamp is added, and at least two of the realtime capable networks (120, 130, 140) are synchronized with one another. The invention also relates to a method for exchanging data between stations or nodes (111, 121, 122, 123, 131, 132, 133, 141, 142, 143) from realtime capable networks (120, 130, 140) and from non-realtime capable networks (110), during which trigger signals of different stations (111, 121, 122, 123, 131, 132, 133, 141, 142, 143), particularly from different networks (110, 120, 130, 140) are combined or linked.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for remote-control programming and to a machine control system 2 for performing the method. To refine the method so as to simplify and shorten an execution operation of a control program source yet automatically avoid version conflicts between the control program source and the compilate in the machine control system, it is proposed that the program source 3a stored in memory in the machine control system be executed by means of a programming device 1, and after the execution, the compilate of the executed program source is generated and stored in memory in the machine control system, where it is made available to a control module.

Abstract: The invention relates to an efficient and interference insensitive authentication test procedure for accessing a machine control (1). Said procedure is carried out through reading and checking of cards (10-12) in a centralised control system and/or in decentralised control systems.
