Abstract:
An automation system includes a first/second control devices having first/second field bus terminals, a field bus, a peripheral assembly having at least one input/output peripheral module for connection to sensors and/or actuators, where the peripheral assembly includes an interface module having a third field bus terminal for communication to and/or from the control devices, and where the interface module includes at least one input/output module storing interconnect information that creates an association between inputs/outputs of the at least one input/output peripheral module and the control devices, and where the interface module additionally includes a virtual data set module in which a data set receiving module is associated with the first control device to which a data set is writable by the first control device, and includes a data set transmitting module associated with the second controller from which the data set is retrievable by the second control device.

Claim (Index 1):
An automation system, comprising:\n a first control device having a first field bus terminal; a second control device having a second field bus terminal; a field bus; and a peripheral assembly having at least one input/output peripheral module for connection to at least one of sensors and actuators, the peripheral assembly including an interface module having a third field bus terminal for communication to and/or from the control devices, and the interface module having at least one input/output module storing interconnect information which creates an association between inputs/outputs of the at least one input/output peripheral modules and the first and second control devices; wherein the interface module further includes a virtual data set module in which a data set receiving module is associated with the first control device to which a data set is writable by the first control device, and further includes a data set transmitting module, within the data set module, associated with the second controller from which the data set is retrievable by the second control device; and wherein the virtual data set module is simultaneously formed such that the data set is copied from the data set receiving module to the data set transmitting module such that a communication path is established between the first and second control devices.
