  • PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130031360
    Abstract: A process control system is disclosed which can include a plurality of spatially distributed, internetworked network subscribers with secure communication between the network subscribers via a communication network. Communication integrity can be based on an interchange of certificates. In order to protect the communication integrity, the process control system can include a central certification point which is an integral part of the process control system and allocates and distributes certificates.

  • COMMUNICATION ARRANGEMENT
    Publication number: 20080288680
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an arrangement and method for communication between modular devices for measurement, closed-loop and open-loop control which are connected to one another via a backplane. It is proposed that two modules of the device in each case be connected to one another via a serial point-to-point connection. Modules with a coupling element are connected to a plurality of other modules.
