AUTOMATION NETWORK WITH PACKET-BASED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HOST AND CLIENT AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN AUTOMATION NETWORK

摘要

In an automation network (1) with packet-based communication between host (110) and client (210), in the event of errors in communication between host and client, the client takes over the determination of output values from the host (110). This determination of output data can take place in a separate local processing module using a less complex method than on the host (110). This makes it possible to carry out complex control and regulation tasks on the host (110) even in the case of mobile clients (210) or other clients (210) that are poorly wired.
