Automation system, has functional blocks integrated in base station and/or in slave module for local processing of application data, control signals and diagnostic data, where blocks are programmable by engineering tools

摘要

The system has a central controller (PLC) connected with a base station (1) that communicates with a slave module (3) over a wireless communication. Functional blocks (FB) are integrated in the base station and/or in the slave module for a local processing of application data, control signals and/or diagnostic data, input data and/or output data of the slave module. The functional blocks are parameterizable and/or programmable by engineering tools (5) over a wireless communication. The base station is extendable around local input and/or output modules.
