Abstract: A method for controlling behavioral intervention of a submodule, where a device model is used to model and operate an automation system, where the device model comprises an input/output device, a first module including at least one submodule and a first controller, a supervisory controller and a control module including at least one control submodule. The submodule is provided with a behavior identification code and behavior information in addition to interconnection information. A respective control submodule having a specific behavior identification code is addressed by the supervisory controller to control the intervention in the submodule, where the addressed control submodule thereupon issues a control command containing the specific behavior identification code to all other submodules, and where the other submodules having the specific behavior identification code are induced to adopt a behavioral change based on the behavior information.

Abstract: A field bus coupler, a system with a field bus coupler, a transmission method for acyclic data via a field bus coupler and a computer program product are provided. The field bus coupler is configured to transmit acyclic data. The field bus coupler possesses a first and a second network side, each network side possessing an interface for connecting a field bus. On the first network side an output module is provided for receiving an output data record of a first field bus. The data record is mirrored from the first to the second network side and buffered in a memory. The mirrored data record is thus provided via an input module on the second network side to a second field bus as an input data record.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and also method for storage of project-planning data in an automation system containing automation devices. To simplify changes within the automation system the project-planning data is stored in a generic, expandable data storage format, with parts of the project-planning data being assigned runtime data in each case, with the runtime data being assigned at least one automation device in each case, with the runtime data being executable parts of programs on the automation devices assigned to it and with the parts of the project-planning data being stored distributed in parallel to the runtime data assigned to it in each case in the automation devices assigned to the runtime data in each case.

Abstract: Storage of project-planning data in a automation system The invention relates to a system and also method for storage of project-planning data (1, 2, 3) in an automation system (4) containing automation devices (5, 6). To simplify changes within the automation system (4) the project-planning data (1, 2, 3) is stored in a generic, expandable data storage format, with parts of the project-planning data (1, 2, 3) being assigned runtime data (7, 8, 9) in each case, with the runtime data (7, 8, 9) being assigned at least one automation device (5, 6) in each case, with the runtime data (7, 8, 9) being executable parts of programs on the automation devices (5, 6) assigned to it and with the parts of the project-planning data (1, 2, 3) being stored distributed in parallel to the runtime data (7, 8, 9) assigned to it in each case in the automation devices (5, 6) assigned to the runtime data (7, 8, 9) in each case.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for storing project planning data (1, 2, 3) in an automation system (4) that contains automation devices (5, 6). To enable the consistency to be effectively ensured within the automation system (4), project planning data (1, 2, 3) is assigned to runtime data (7, 8, 9), with the project planning data (1, 2, 3) being accessible together with the runtime data (7, 8, 9) assigned to it and being stored in the automation devices (5, 6), whereby detection means for detecting changes to the runtime data (7, 8, 9) and to the project planning data (1, 2, 3) are provided and whereby test means for checking the relationships between the runtime data (7, 8, 9) and the project planning data (1, 2, 3) are provided.
