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: An automation system includes at least one field device and at least one control unit. The automation system is configured to provide an application interface via which a data transfer of administration data for administration of the at least one field device can be performed from the at least one control unit to the at least one field device.

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 disclosure relates to a method for generating a variable motion profile for a drive unit of a machine, comprising predetermining a plurality of boundary conditions in order to define the variable motion profile, wherein at least one of the boundary conditions is defined using at least one variable or formula relationship. The method further comprises graphically displaying a motion profile based on the plurality of boundary conditions, and mapping the plurality of boundary conditions to a program code, wherein the program code comprises at least one placeholder associated with the variables or the resolved system of equations of the formula relationship.

Abstract: For controlling a motion sequence of a machine element, with which the control of the motion sequence of the machine element is carried out based on a functional relationship between a master shaft and a slave shaft, the functional relationship IS ascertained with consideration for several conditions of this motion sequence. The functional relationship includes at least one first section, which is defined by an nth-order polynomial, and at least one second section, which is at least partially separated from the first section, and which is defined by an ath-order polynomial. In this case, “a” is less than “n”.

Abstract: For operating controlled machines, a slave motion of at least one movable machine element of the machine is controlled using a motion profile specific to that motion, and this motion profile of the motion of the machine element is subdivided into a plurality of profile segments. The profile segments are each assigned masters, and the masters depend on predetermined command variables, motion profile in the individual profile segments depends in each case on the respective masters, at least two masters are different from one another, and at least two masters of the motion profile depend on command variables that are different from one another.

Abstract: In a method for operating controlled machines, a motion of at least one movable machine element of the machine is controlled using a motion profile specific to that motion, and this motion profile of the motion of the machine element is subdivided into a plurality of profile segments. Each of the profile segments is assigned at least one motion condition which influences this profile segment, and each motion condition includes at least one tripping event and at least one action event associated with this tripping event and tripped by the tripping event, and the action event influences the applicable profile segment.
