    Abstract: The present invention relates to a processing module for a modular automation system, for instance a modular stored-programmable control, in which the automation system includes a central unit and peripheral units such as input/output modules, subordinate to the central unit. The peripheral units can be coupled to each other via a device bus. A processing module comprises a processor, a memory, a blockable bus coupling element which can be coupled to the device bus, and a blockable central unit coupling element which can be coupled to the central unit, all of which are connected to each other via a module bus that is internal in the processing module. The processing module has a communication interface which is connected with the processor. In this way the central unit can be relieved to a considerable extent of communication activity.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for flexibly configuring an automation system for a technical process. The invention permits a user to determine a configuration for one or more peripheral channels of the automation system based on desired fault behaviors. In one embodiment of the invention, a user is prompted to specify a peripheral channel of the automation system to be configured, along with a required fault behavior for that peripheral channel. In other words, the user must specify how the peripheral channel is to handle the occurrence of a fault. Once the required fault behavior is identified, a programming unit accesses a knowledge base of stored configurations and associated fault behaviors to identify a configuration meeting the user-specified requirements. The programming unit then communicates instructions for configuring the peripheral channel to a user and/or actually configures a programmable controller of the automation system.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to synchronization methods for a redundantly structured automation system including at least two subsystems. According to the present invention, the sequences of machine instructions for the subsystems contain run-time queries. When the run-time queries are reached, the actual run time since the last synchronization of the subsystems is determined. However, a synchronization is only carried out when the actual run time exceeds a preselectable synchronization reference pattern. The run-time queries are always inserted then into the sequence of machine instructions when a summed run-time expected value of the machine instructions exceeds a preselectable critical time.

    Abstract: A method for detecting addressing errors in an electrical unit. The electrical unit may, e.g., include a central processing unit and modules that respond to the central processing unit via a communication system by means of addresses specific to the modules. Addressing errors caused by faulty modules can be detected. For at least a portion of the accesses made by the central processing unit on one of the modules, an identifier is transmitted from the addressed module to the central processing unit. The identifier transmitted to the central processing unit is compared to a reference identifier. Addressing errors are recognized when the transmitted identifier deviates from the reference identifier.

    Abstract: An update method is described for a supplementary automation system, which is to be coupled to a starting automation system, where the starting automation system controls a technical system. In the present invention, updating takes place free of update-interruption as opposed to interrupting program execution by the starting automation system, performing the updating and resuming program execution by both automation systems. In one embodiment, a non-time-critical system state is awaited and then updating is performed. In a second embodiment, the updating is interspersed in small time slices into the program execution.

    Abstract: The system synchronizes data processing systems coupled together using a synchronization operation that is only implemented as a function of events that necessitate synchronization. The system differentiates between the immediate synchronization of internal commands and the indirect synchronization of interrupt events. When an internal command appears, then the synchronization of the data processing systems takes place immediately after the command is executed. In the case of interrupt events, the synchronization operation takes place at defined program points such as block limits or program sections of programs so partitioned.

    Abstract: A system for controlling the voltage of an electrofilter of the type which, after a voltage breakdown, substantially reduces the magnitude of the electrofilter voltage. After a predetermined deionization time, the filter voltage is raised to a new level which is lower than the filter voltage at which the initial voltage breakdown occurred, by a predetermined amount. The filter voltage is subsequently raised in accordance with a predetermined voltage-time function until a further voltage breakdown occurs. The electrofilter voltage is controlled by a microcomputer system in accordance with stored control parameter values. The stored control parameter values are advantageously recalled to control the electrofilter voltage in response to the operating state of a plant in which the electrofilter is employed. In plants wherein a plurality of electrofilters are employed, each such electrofilter is controlled by an associated microcomputer system, the plural microcomputer systems being controlled by a central pilot computer. The central pilot computer of the plant computes strategies which enhance the energy efficiency of the overall electrofilter purification system.
