Abstract: A safety controller for controlling an automated installation in accordance with a user program has a plurality of control components. At least some of the control components have a respective data bus interface. The data bus interface is designed to receive and send data. The safety controller also has a data bus to which the plurality of control components are connected via the respective data bus interfaces for the purpose of interchanging data. A configuration interface is designed to receive configuration data ascertained on the basis of association data generated by a programming tool. The configuration data determine at least one characteristic of the data bus or of at least one data bus interface.

Abstract: A new method and to a new programming tool for creating a user program for a safety controller is disclosed. The new method and programming tool exploit a matrix-type organization of occurring programming tasks. Itemized software components allocated to specific hardware components are combined with aspect blocks that enable programming grouped according to functional control aspects of the system to be controlled.

Abstract: A network having a plurality of subscribers has at least one message transmitter and at least one message receiver. The at least one message transmitter sends messages at predefined time intervals. The message receiver receives the messages at the predefined time intervals. A delay time of the messages is monitored on the basis of time outs. In addition, at least one of the subscribers repeatedly estimates a current delay time using a time measurement between sending out a request message and receiving a response message. The estimated delay time is compared with a predefined threshold value. If the estimated delay time exceeds the defined threshold value, an error signal is generated.

Abstract: A safety controller for controlling an automated installation has a control unit to which a plurality of control input signals are supplied from the sensors of the installation. The control unit produces a plurality of control output signals on the basis of the control input signals in accordance with a user program running in said control unit in an automatic mode. The plurality of control output signals actuate the actuators. The safety controller also has a diagnosis evaluation unit that ascertains which one of a plurality of operating states is present at a defined instant of time and produces an operating state signal which represents the ascertained operating state. A diagnosis selection unit generates a diagnosis report as a function of the operating state signal and as a function of a user access authorization signal and/or a special operating mode signal. The diagnosis report representing the ascertained operating state thus varies depending on specific circumstances, such as a certain user access authorization or a certain operating mode.
