responsives system for signal processing, method for the production of a responsiven system and method for determination and adjustment of the ausfuehrungszeit in a automatisierungsprozess which of a responsiven system will run

摘要

The invention concerns a responsive system (1), i.e. a fault-tolerant signal processing system (1) which can operate in real time, the system comprising a plurality of data-processing units (3) interconnected via data-transmission units (2). The data-processing units (3) implement computer programs (SW) which are constructed in a modular manner from a plurality of function blocks. The responsive system (1) detects an output signal state from an input signal state according to an integral processing specification. The system (1) comprises: a first database (D1) which stores a maximum processing time for each function block and a maximum transmission time for each data-transmission unit (2); a second database (D2) which stores mutual allocations of the data-processing units (3), data-transmission units (2) and computer programmes (SW), and signal processing step sequences according to the processing specification; and a third database (D3) which stores parameters of the data-processing units (3), data-transmission units (2) and computer programmes (SW). In a timing module (5) the maximum execution time for generating the output signal state is determined from these stored data even before the system (1) is commissioned, such that its real-time capability can be verified first.
