Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the distributed calculation of calculation tasks by means of field devices of an industrial plant, wherein a plurality of field devices are coupled to a task distribution unit by means of a data link, the field devices effect a control of the industrial plant in an operating state in each case, at least one of the field devices receives a calculation task from the task distribution unit in an idle state and changes to a calculation state in which the calculation task is processed.
Claims17
A method for the distributed calculation of calculation tasks by means of field devices of an industrial plant, wherein
- a plurality of field devices are coupled to a task distribution unit by means of a data link,
- the field devices effect a control of the industrial plant in an operating state in each case,
- at least one of the field devices, receives a calculation task from the task distribution unit and changes to a calculation state in which the calculation task is processed.
An industrial plant, comprising a plurality of field devices and a task distribution unit, wherein the field devices are coupled to the task distribution unit by means of a data link, wherein
- the field devices are configured to effect a control of the industrial plant in an operating state in each case,
- at least one of the field devices is configured to receive a calculation task from the task distribution unit in an idle state and to change to a calculation state in which the calculation task is processed.
