Abstract: The invention relates to a method for analyzing an automation system an emulator for at least partial virtual operation of an automation system of an installation, and a system for analyzing an automation system of an installation. An environment scenario for the installation is simulated. A response signal to be detected by at least one environment sensor is derived from the perspective of the at least one environment sensor on the basis of the simulated environment scenario. The response signal is output to the at least one environment sensor by means of an emulator, wherein the at least one environment sensor generates sensor data on the basis of the output response signal. In addition, the automation system and/or the installation are/is operated by means of the generated sensor data and preferably further sensor data of real and/or simulated sensors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for analysing an automation system, in particular a driver assistance system in a vehicle, an emulator for at least partial virtual operation of an automation system of an installation, and a system for analysing an automation system of an installation. An environment scenario for the installation, in particular a traffic scenario, is simulated. A response signal to be detected by at least one environment sensor, in particular an ultrasound response signal, is derived from the perspective of the at least one environment sensor on the basis of the simulated environment scenario.

Abstract: A device for continuously fractionating a gas by adsorption, an in-service testing device in a processor-controlled adsorption drier system and a method for testing the operating capability of an adsorption drier system under the control of a processor, including two adsorbent beds connected to one another in a switching system, in which regeneration is performed by a flow of regeneration gas. The device has a gas inlet, a gas outlet and a bypass outlet feeding into a common functional block, which contains a line switching circuit, a first and a second shuttle valve and, optionally, other components. The in-service testing device and the device are so compact due to their respective structures that they can be integrated with one another requiring little space and having low assembly requirements. The testing method is configured to co-operate with the in-service testing device and the device, requiring only a few components for the application thereof.
