Abstract:
1. A method for controlling behavioral intervention of a submodule using a device model for modeling and subsequent operation of an automation system, a first controller, a supervisory controller, and a control module, said device model comprising an input/output device and at least one first module including at least one submodule, and said control module including at least one control submodule, the method comprising: providing the device model and the first controller with interconnection information defining an assignment between the first controller and the at least one submodule; providing the at least one submodule a behavior identification code and behavior information in addition to the interconnection information, the behavior identification code in the at least one submodule corresponding to a behavior identification code in the at least one control submodule; addressing, by the supervisory controller, a respective at least one control submodule having a specific behavior identification code for a controlling intervention in the at least one submodule; issuing, by the addressed respective at least one control submodule, a control command containing an associated specific behavior identification code to the at least one submodule; and inducing the at least one submodule having the associated specific behavior identification code to adopt a change in behavior based on the behavior information.
