Abstract: A method is set forth that serves to execute an event-oriented control program on a programmable logic controller of an automation system, wherein the control program comprises a plurality of functional modules, wherein an execution of the individual functional modules is triggered in an event-controlled manner on the occurrence of activation events that are each associated with the individual functional modules, and wherein priorities are assigned to each of the activation events. The method comprises the following steps: detecting activation events that have occurred; and executing the functional modules that are each associated with the activation events that have occurred in an execution sequence defined on the basis of the priorities of the individual activation events.

Abstract: An execution environment for executing an event-oriented control program of a programmable logic controller, wherein the control program comprises a plurality of functional modules to be successively executed, is configured to execute the functional modules in an event-controlled manner on the occurrence of activation events that are each associated with the individual functional modules. In this respect, the individual activation events of the functional modules to be successively executed form an event chain. The execution environment comprises a monitoring module for monitoring an execution duration of the functional modules of the event chain, wherein the monitoring module is configured to check the execution duration for an exceeding of a predefined time duration.
