Abstract
A method for controlling and/or operating an automation component of automation technology using a service of the automation technology. The service is analyzed by a control circuit of an automation component while determining at least one property of the service. Based on the at least one determined property of the service, one of the at least two mobile interfaces of the automation component with the control circuit is determined and/or controlled to process the service.
Claims19
A method for controlling and/or operating an automation component of automation technology, the automation component being a level measuring device for detecting a level of a medium, or an add-on module for a level measuring device, or a pressure measuring device for detecting a pressure of a medium, and/or a flow measuring device for detecting a flow of a medium, and having control circuitry and at least two mobile radio interfaces, the method comprising:
- applying an automation technology service;
- analyzing the service by the control circuitry to determine at least one characteristic of the service;
- and
- selecting and/or driving, based on the at least one determined characteristic of the service, one of the at least two mobile interfaces with the control circuitry to process the service,
- wherein the at least one particular characteristic of the service comprises a latency predetermined for processing the service and/or an amount of data to be transmitted in the course of processing the service and/or a data transfer rate predetermined for processing the service and/or an energy demand predetermined and/or expected for processing the service.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program which, when executed by a control circuitry of an automation component, instructs the automation component being a level measuring device for detecting a level of a medium, or an add-on module for a level measuring device, or a pressure measuring device for detecting a pressure of a medium, and/or a flow measuring device for detecting a flow of a medium, and having control circuitry and at least two mobile radio interfaces to perform a method for controlling and/or operating the automation component of automation technology, the method comprising:
- applying an automation technology service;
- analyzing the service by the control circuitry to determine at least one characteristic of the service;
- and
- selecting and/or driving, based on the at least one determined characteristic of the service, one of the at least two mobile interfaces with the control circuitry to process the service,
- wherein the at least one characteristic of the service comprises a latency predetermined for processing the service and/or an amount of data to be transmitted in the course of processing the service and/or a data transfer rate predetermined for processing the service and/or an energy demand predetermined and/or expected for processing the service.
An automation component being a level measuring device for detecting a level of a medium, or an add-on module for a level measuring device, or a pressure measuring device for detecting a pressure of a medium, and/or a flow measuring device for detecting a flow of a medium for automation technology, comprising:
- a control circuitry;
- and
- at least two mobile radio interfaces for data transmission,
- wherein the control circuitry is configured to
- apply an automation technology service,
- analyze the service by the control circuitry to determine at least one characteristic of the service, and
- select and/or drive, based on the at least one determined characteristic of the service, one of the at least two mobile interfaces to process the service,
- wherein the at least one characteristic of the service comprises a latency predetermined for processing the service and/or an amount of data to be transmitted in the course of processing the service and/or a data transfer rate predetermined for processing the service and/or an energy demand predetermined and/or expected for processing the service.
