Abstract
An automated system and method that includes at least two cooperating electrical components, each having a time counter. The electrical components being coupled to one another via signals for cyclically transmitting process data via a signal network, and are synchronized with one another based on global, relative time information as a reference quantity.
Claims10
An automated system comprising at least two cooperating electrical components, each of the at least two cooperating electrical components having a time counter, which are coupled to one another via signals for cyclically transmitting process data via a signal network, and which are synchronized with one another based on global, relative time information as a reference quantity.
A method for synchronizing an automated system, the method comprising:
- providing at least two cooperating electrical components, each having a time counter, which are coupled to one another via signals for cyclically transmitting process data via a signal network;
- and
- using global, relative time information as a reference quantity.
