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

摘要

A system and method for optimized operation of real-time control applications. The system and method being configured for 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, determining execution times of control applications based on recurring code sequences that are automatically extracted from a set of training applications and/or identified in the respective application, automatically generating test data to determine their on-target execution times for refinement of the timing data structure, 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, and determining at least an estimate for the best-case execution time and/or the worst-case execution time of the control application.
