  • Computer-implemented method for checking a communication input of a programmable logic controller of an automation component of a plant
    Patent number: 9338236
    Abstract: In order to determine for a programmable logic controller whether or not a communication input is blocked, a nominal/actual comparison between the communication input and predefined rules of a nominal communication is performed, a reaction matrix being used for case differentiation.

  • Method for generating function blocks for web services
    Patent number: 8037129
    Abstract: In continuous operation, for example during the control of a machine, PLCs (programmable logic controllers) execute as client a data transaction with a server. This data transaction is initiated by the PLC by implementing a communication with the server via web services. A WSDL file is called up and additional data during the generation of a user program of the PLC is provided. Function blocks for web applications are then automatically generated from this data and integrated in the user program.
