Control components and method for energy management in an industrial automation installation

摘要

The control component has a communication unit i.e. filed bus system (FB) for connecting to be controlled automation components (TP1-TP4) of an industrial automation installation with the control component. The control component detects energy absorption of a part of the automation installation. The component transmits a message with request to one of the automation components and receives acknowledgment message from the automation component. The request is adjusted for changing operating condition of process and partial process controlled by the components. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating control components for performing energy management in an industrial automation installation.
