Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing programs (12, 14) for control devices of technical equipment (26, 28), in particular machinery and/or plants, wherein, in particular, programs (12, 14) for control devices of electric drive systems are provided. The programs (12, 14) are provided in a software memory (10) managed by software memory management software, wherein the software memory management software comprises access rights management. The access rights of users (30, 32, 34) to access the programs (12, 14) are managed in the managed software memory (10) by means of the access rights management. Users (30, 32, 34) are granted access rights which enable the users (30, 32, 34) to store programs (12, 14) created, in particular by means of a development environment, in the managed software memory.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing data access to a technical facility (10), in particular a machine and/or an installation, wherein the technical facility (10) is connected to a data-processing device (16) via a network (18) by means of a data-transmission interface. By means of the data-processing device (16), a digital twin (20) of the technical facility (10) is provided, the digital twin (20) representing modifiable software components of the technical facility (10). A specific UUID is allocated to each of the digital twin (20) and the technical facility (10), a communication between the digital twin (20) and the technical facility (10) being made possible via the network (18) by means of the UUID. The data-processing device (16) provides an access option for access by third parties (24) to data of the digital twin (20) that relate to software components of the technical facility (10) that are represented by the digital twin (20).

Abstract: The invention pertains to a procedure to control and/or monitor a machine or system using an automation system, whereby functions of the automation system are controlled by a computer. The control function is executed by programs which are executed on the computer, whereby the computer is equipped with a real-time-capable operating system, specifically, a real-time-capable Linux operating system. The programs include both real-time programs and non-real-time programs which are executed in a runtime environment that is superordinate to the operating system.
