FIELD: physics. ^ SUBSTANCE: first control device (2) and second control device (5) are connected with each other. Each has several functional modules (FB1, FB2, FB3, FB1', FB2', FB3'), through which control functions thereof are realised by a technical process. The first control device (2) periodically operates its functional modules (FB1, FB2, FB3) to control the technical process, owing to which internal states of the functional modules (FB1, FB2, FB3) are generated. When controlling the technical process using the first control device (2), data on internal states of functional elements thereof are transmitted with distribution over several cycles to a second control device (5). The second control device (5) assigns the transmitted data on internal states to its functional modules (FB1', FB2', FB3'). The present invention also relates to an automatic system (1) with backup. ^ EFFECT: reliable and fast synchronisation of two control modules. ^ 25 cl, 3 dwg |
