1. A method for redundant control in a distributed automation system, preferably a real-time automation system, for operating a client device of the distributed automation system, comprising:
using the client device to monitor for an occurrence of a fault in communication between the client device and a first computing infrastructure that is part of the distributed automation system and operates the client device,
upon the occurrence of the fault, using the client device to instruct a second computing infrastructure of the distributed automation system to operate the client device,
wherein the client device is operated by the first computing infrastructure via a status model, which indicated a current status of the client device, and the method further comprises:
transferring the status model from the first computing infrastructure to the client device while the first computing infrastructure operates the client device, and
using the client device, transferring the transferred status model to the second computing infrastructure for operating the client device when instructing the second computing infrastructure.
