Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An automation system includes a first and second controllers, and an output device connected to the first and second controllers, wherein the output device comprises a module having at least a first submodule and a second submodule, wherein the first controller includes first interconnection information defining an assignment between the first controller and the first submodule, the second controller includes second interconnection information defining an assignment between the second controller and the second submodule, the first submodule accepts first output data from the first controller, the second submodule accepts second output data from the second controller, wherein the module is further configured so that it is connected to a plurality of outputs for control of actuators and includes a logical linkage device for logically linking the first output data to the second output data such that logically linked output data is provided for the outputs for controlling actuators.
First claim
