Abstract: A method for executing heterogeneous program units of a program, in particular for controlling an automated system, includes forming, using a central management unit, an execution unit including program sequences having a plurality of instances of the heterogeneous program units. The heterogeneous program units are chosen from a set of the heterogeneous program units which are registered on the central management unit. The method further includes executing the plurality of instances of the heterogeneous program units of the execution unit according to a configured sequence.

Abstract: A method for operating a machine having at least one working device configured to carry out predefined working sequences, and a control device configured to control the at least one working device. At least one operating parameter of the at least one working device being changeable by an input device. The input device includes a portable computer device, and the input device is configured to be operated independently of the machine.

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: A method for the dynamic configuration of an operator interface for a functional module of a control platform, the functional module having a plurality of terminals for connecting activating quantities, in which application-specifically dynamically a first and a second group of terminals is selected from the plurality of terminals, the terminals of the first group are situated on the operator interface and displayed, and the terminals of the second group are hidden on the operator interface. In addition, the a corresponding operator interface, a computer program, a computer program product and a computer system are described.
