OPERATING METHOD FOR AN AUTOMATION ENGINEERING COMPONENT, AND AN AUTOMATION ENGINEERING COMPONENT

摘要

A component of automation technology has a central unit, a boot memory, and a system memory. When a starting condition is invoked, the central unit implements a boot program stored in the boot memory. Because of the implementation of the boot program, the central unit is able to communicate with a server, accept a system program from the server and, optionally, store the accepted system program in the system memory by overwriting a system program already stored in the system memory. The central unit furthermore carries out the system program. Because of the implementation of the system program, the central unit communicates at least once with a peripheral unit which is connected to the central unit and is in operative connection with an industrial engineering progress. On the other hand, the boot program is configured such that a communication of the central unit with the peripheral unit is not possible.
