Abstract: Controller for an industrial automation system, having a main module (1) with a housing, which can be fitted onto a DIN rail by means of a base (10), and with at least two printed circuit boards (20) which can be arranged in the housing, one of these printed circuit boards (20) being a backplane bus printed circuit board (21) and one being a main printed circuit board (23), wherein the main printed circuit board (23) is assigned a heat sink (50) for the cooling of components and wherein the backplane bus printed circuit board (21) provides a backplane bus, wherein the heat sink (50) is arranged in the housing, is attached to the base (10) and supports at least one of the printed circuit boards (20).

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprising an outer conduit and an inner conduit, arranged inside of and along the longitudinal axis of the outer conduit, the inner conduit and the outer conduit being arranged to form a fluid flow channel between the inner surface of the outer conduit and the outer surface of the inner conduit, the fluid flow channel having a cross sectional form, in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the outer conduit, that is elongate being substantially greater in the circumferential direction of the outer conduit than in the radial direction of the outer conduit.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for task modeling with models that are adaptive and executable at runtime. In one implementation, a method is provided for executing a task model at runtime. The method may comprise providing a task model comprising a plurality of tasks, executing an application to schedule one or more of the tasks, and monitoring a state of one or more of the tasks. Further, the method may include detecting a change in the state of one or more of the tasks, and updating, during runtime execution, the task model based on the detected change in the state of one or more of the tasks.
