Abstract: The invention describes a method for measuring and classifying resistors (2), in which in a measuring station (3) the resistance value of the resistor (2) supplied by a feed and transport device (12) of the measuring station (3) is measured. The measured resistance value is transmitted to an evaluation unit (40) of a control device (20). The resistor (2) is delivered sorted according to predetermined measurement ranges into an output device (25) arranged after the measuring station (3). The resistor (2) is heated to a predefined nominal temperature by a temperature regulating device (7), in particular by a medium (9). After reaching this nominal temperature the resistor (2) is contacted in the medium (9). Afterwards the measurement of the resistor (2) is carried out.

Abstract: The invention describes an automation system for solving a process-related task definition or at least for operating a technical system, in particular an industrial plant, by means of a computer system which, in at least one field level having field bus components and automation devices, can be broken down into a control level with at least one server and a client level having one or more client computers. An automation category, in particular for system objects such as motors, valves or also part-processes, is developed in a standard context for different types of automation elements of the automated task. The automation category is built on the one hand on server-related data elements and on the other on client-related data elements. An automation element is compiled from server-related data elements, client-related data elements and functions.
