Abstract
A method for integrating a number of automation components into an industrial controller with a uniform running level model of the runtime system. The basic clock of the running level model is devised from either an internal timer, an internal clock of a communication medium, an external device or from a variable (TG) which belongs to the technological process (P1, P2).
Claims5
A method for the integrating a plurality of automation components in a uniform running level model of a respective runtime system (RTS) of an industrial controller (S), comprising the steps of:
- a) analyzing running properties of each automation component;
- b) deriving a structure for a uniform running level model from said running properties which satisfies the requirements of said each automation component;
- c) assigning a set of system and user levels tasks into the running level model;
- and
- d) programming at least one user level.
