SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN OPTIMIZED OPERATION OF REAL-TIME EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS IN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

摘要

The invention relates to a system and method for an optimized operation of real-time embedded solutions, in particular control applications and systems, in industrial automation identifying and processing recurring code sequences in control applications to quantify the execution time of control applications, wherein for each set up and/or control application a timing data structure is generated to determine the execution time of control applications in industrial automation, comprising steps of using domain-specific properties and characterizing and/or determining execution times of control applications based on recurring code sequences, wherein for generating the timing data structure recurring code sequences are automatically extracted from a set of training applications and/or identified in the respective application, and steps of automatically generating test data to determine their on-target execution times for refinement of the timing data structure and steps of decomposing the structure of the respective control application into code sequences for which the created data timing structure and timing model respectively provide execution time estimates, which then may accessed and processed, in particular by an accumulation in a bottom up fashion, and at least an estimate for the best-case execution time and/or the worst-case execution time of the control application is determined and/or reported and used to optimize the real time operation of the respective industrial control solution. .
