Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a communication method for an automation system with a computer coupled to the automation system, with information available about the automation system being queried by the computer in the automation system, the automation system transmitting the requested information to the computer or making it available for it. .
  • the communication of the computer with the automation system can cause a user of the computer to react in many different ways. Under certain circumstances, direct intervention in the automation system, e.g. B. the activation or deactivation of parts of the automation system or a new specification of setpoints possible. It is therefore of great importance that the data transmitted from the automation system to the computer is interpreted correctly by the computer.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a communication method for an automation system with a computer coupled to the automation system, in which a simple possibility for the computer is created to check whether the data transmitted to him or made available to him is the desired data.
  • the object is achieved in that the automation systems transmit data to the computer in addition to the information requested, or provide data for it which describe the meaning of the information requested.
  • the information can be of various types. For example, individual setpoints or actual values or individual output variables can be queried. However, the information can e.g. B. Information about the automation system as such (how it is configured, whether it is in operation, whether and which modules are defective, etc.). It is also possible for the information to include information about the technical system controlled by the automation system, in particular its configuration. In each of these cases, not only the information as such is transmitted, but also data describing the meaning of the requested information in addition to the requested information.
  • the HTTP protocol is particularly suitable as a protocol.
  • Standard procedures can be used.
  • the protocols are, for example, XML and HTML coding. If the information also includes configuration data about the automation system and / or a technical system, an overview of the automation system from the computer is possible in a particularly convenient manner.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overview of a networked computer
  • an automation system 1 is a
  • Interface 2 is connected to the world wide web 3, shown very schematically.
  • a computer 4 is also connected to the world-wide-web 3, via which a user 5 can access the world-wide-web 3.
  • the computer 4 is thus coupled to the automation system 1 via the world-wide web 3.
  • Information from the automation system 1 can therefore be queried from the computer 4 or messages, information and / or data can be transmitted to the automation system 1 via the interface 2.
  • the automation system 1 internally has a processor unit 6, the functioning of which is determined by a computer program product 7, which is stored in a read-only memory 8, in particular in an electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPROM) 8.
  • EEPROM electrically erasable read-only memory
  • the automation system 1 also has input / output units 9, by means of which a technical system 10 is controlled and monitored.
  • an image of the input and output states of the input / output units 9 (process image) is stored, among other things, in a process image memory 11.
  • a configuration memory 12 also stores information about the system configuration and concordance information.
  • Communication via interface 2 is preferably carried out in accordance with the HTTP protocol, as indicated in FIG. 1 by the corresponding information in interface 2.
  • the information data pairs themselves are XML or HTML encoded. Other protocols and codings for the world wide web 3 are also possible. It is crucial that a so-called markup language is used. Thus, not only the information actually queried is always transmitted or made available via the interface 2, but packets are also transmitted in which information-data pairs are contained. The data then describe the meaning of the information requested.
  • Computer 4 is thus able to easily check the data and its consistency. Changes in the data, e.g. B. Changes to the configurations in corresponding tools are possible. In order to be able to carry out such changes in a sensible manner, the configuration data 12 about the automation s istsstrom 1 and the configuration data stored on the technical system 10. These data can also be transmitted to the computer 4 or made available for it.
  • the computer 4 is thus also able to display the configurations of the automation system 1 or the technical system 10, which are shown as examples in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • data are transmitted to the computer as such or made available, which describe the meaning of the information requested. It is therefore possible to access the automation system 1 using a generic browser or a generic tool. The browser or the tool then adapts itself to the automation system 1 on the basis of the transmitted information and data. If necessary, namely in the event of changes, it is also possible to transfer the respective data and information back to the automation system 1 and in the configuration memory 12 save.
