Abstract
A method for processing process data by means of data bus subscribers of a local bus, the method including: receiving at least one instruction list at a data bus subscriber, the instruction list having a set of instructions for processing process data, storing the at least one instruction list in a memory, receiving an instruction list index, ILI, at the data bus subscriber, selecting one of the at least one stored instruction list on the basis of the received ILI if the ILI is associated with the stored instruction list, and executing the set of instructions of the selected instruction list in order to process the process data by means of the data bus subscriber. The local bus is designed as a ring bus, for example. Each output of a data bus subscriber is connected, for example, to an actuator.
Claims16
A method for processing process data by data bus subscribers of a local bus, in particular of a ring bus, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one instruction list at a data bus subscriber, the instruction list comprising a set of instructions for processing process data;
- storing the at least one instruction list in a memory;
- receiving an instruction list index at the data bus subscriber;
- selecting one of the at least one stored instruction list based on the received instruction list index when the instruction list index is associated with the stored instruction list;
- and
- executing the set of instructions of the selected instruction list for processing the process data by the data bus subscriber.
A data bus subscriber of a local bus, in particular of a ring bus, the data bus subscriber comprising:
- a receiver to receive at least one instruction list, wherein the instruction list having a set of instructions for processing process data and to receive an instruction list index;
- a memory to store the at least one instruction list;
- a selector to select one of the at least one stored instruction lists based on the received instruction list index when the instruction list index is associated with the stored instruction list;
- and
- an executor to execute the set of instructions of the selected instruction list for processing the process data.
