  • Publication number: 20160241511
    Abstract: A communication device of an industrial automation system and method for configuring the communication device, wherein a communication network address assigned to the communication device is independently generated from at least one prefix communicated via router advertisement messages by at least one router assigned within a subnetwork and from a device-specific interface identifier, where the communication device interrogates at at least one server of a name service system, in accordance with a name resolution protocol, which communication network addresses are assigned to its communication device name, the communication network addresses interrogated at the at least one server of the name service system are checked with regard to correspondence to the prefix, and where the communication device assigns to itself only those communication network addresses interrogated at the server of the name service system which have a correspondence to the prefix communicated by the router.

  • Publication number: 20160226980
    Abstract: A method in which a monitoring unit allocated to a communication device checks, based on a name resolution protocol, whether a second communication network address allocated to the first communication device becomes valid in order to set up an uninterrupted communication connection to the communication device that is allocated to an industrial automation system, where in cases of an allocation of a new valid communication network address and an existing communication connection, the monitoring unit initiates a set-up of an additional communication connection using the new communication network address.

  • Publication number: 20160197881
    Abstract: In the case of a secure communication connection to a communication device connected to the industrial automation system via a non-secure subnetwork, a monitoring unit checks whether a new communication network address assigned to the communication device for a connection to the non-secure subnetwork becomes valid. In the event of a change in a communication network address and in the case of a still existing secure communication connection, the monitoring unit transmits an address change notification via the existing secure communication connection, where upon receiving the address change notification, the set-up of an additional secure communication connection and a changeover from the existing secure communication connection to the additional secure communication connection are initiated.

  • Publication number: 20150358278
    Abstract: A method for allocating network addresses for network subscribers in a segmented network having a plurality of subnetworks that are each connected via a subnetwork router to a busbar system that connects them. In one aspect, the subnetwork routers determine a shared address range locally by exchanging router messages that are distributed via the busbar system. Network addresses for the network subscribers are determined within the address range.

  • Publication number: 20150312096
    Abstract: A configuration unit of a communication device which communicates a datagram with a configuration request to a configuration server in order to configure a communication device within an industrial automation system, wherein the configuration server allocates to the communication device, in response to the configuration request, at least one first topological device name component assigned to a spatial or hierarchical arrangement of the configuration server, each forwarding distribution unit adds a further topological device name component assigned to a spatial or hierarchical arrangement of the respective forwarding distribution unit, and the configuration unit of the communication device generates the device name thereof from the topological device name components and a name component that is unique within the subnetwork of the device.

  • Publication number: 20150312213
    Abstract: Router advertisements containing name information from superordinate subnetworks are received by routers associated with subordinate subnetworks. The router advertisements are supplemented with a topological and/or hierarchical name component associated with the respective router and are distributed inside the respective subordinate subnetwork. Communication terminals independently generate their device name from topological and/or hierarchical name components and a unique name component inside their respective subnetwork.

  • Publication number: 20150215232
    Abstract: Method and system of updating message filter rules of a network access control unit of an industrial communication network. At least one address-based message filter rule is assigned to the first communication device. The first communication device is replaced with the second communication device, and the second communication device is registered in the address management unit in response to the replacement of the first communication device with the second communication device. Upon determining that a communication device with an identical communication device description is already registered, the address management unit transmits a change message to the network access control unit or to the converter unit. The communication network address of the first communication device is replaced with the communication network address of the second communication device based on the at least one address-based message filter rule.
