Method and communications system for the configuration of a communications module containing a logic component

摘要

The invention relates to a method according to which a cycle-oriented control program generated for a programmable logic controller (110) is at least partially converted into a code that may be executed by a logic component (80) of a communications module (10), such that at least the converted program segment of the cycle-oriented control program may be executed in a cycle-free manner. Cycle-free or virtually cycle-free means that at least some of the implemented control functions and system functions may be executed in a parallel fashion and therefore more quickly than would be the case if the cycle-oriented control program were executed by the PLC (110).
