Method for storing a data block containing data for controlling a technical process, and control and automation device

A control device for controlling the storing of a first data block containing data for controlling a technical process in a first memory area of an automation device which contains a second data block containing data for controlling the technical process in a second memory area, the first data block and the second data block being subdivided into a plurality of data areas, comprising:

• a controller portion that
• controls the supplying of at least one data area which is part of the first data block, to the automation device,
• initiates the copying of at least one data area which is both part of the first data block and part of the second data block from the second memory area into the first memory area, and
• performs a determination of a volume of data contained in one of the data areas which is both part of the first data block and part of the second data block, and depending on the determined volume, either initiates a copying of said one of the data areas from the second memory area into the first memory area, or initiates supplying of said one of the data areas to the automation device and storage of said one of the data areas in the first memory area.

A method for storing a first data block containing data for controlling a technical process in a first memory area of an automation device, comprising:

• storing a second data block containing data for controlling the technical process in a second memory area of the automation device;
• subdividing the second data block into a plurality of data areas, wherein
• at least one data area which is part of the first data block is supplied to the automation device and stored in the first memory area and
• at least one data area which is both part of the first data block and part of the second data block is copied from the second memory area into the first memory area,
• wherein a volume of data contained in one of the data areas which is both part of the first data block and part of the second data block is determined and, depending on what volume of data is determined, the data area is either copied from the second memory area into the first memory area or supplied to the automation device and stored in the first memory area.
