Patent ID: 8316168

Claim:
A method for the configuration of a communications module containing a logic component for controlling a communications system in an at least partially cycle-free manner, having the following method steps: generating a cycle-oriented control program that is able to be run in a programmable logic controller for the cycle-oriented operation of the communications system; converting at least one program segment of the cycle-oriented control program into a code that is executable by a logic component ( 80 , 96 , 106 ); and loading the code into the logic component ( 80 , 96 , 106 ) of a communications module ( 10 , 90 , 100 ), with the logic component ( 80 , 96 , 106 ) of the communications module ( 10 , 90 , 100 ) executing the corresponding program segment of the cycle-oriented control program in a cycle-free manner in response to the code.
