Method for detecting network subscribers in an automation network and automation network
A method for detecting network subscribers in an automation network by query telegrams provides that a protocol-network subscriber enters network-subscriber information into a query telegram and sends the query telegram to a subsequent network subscriber. If no subsequent network subscriber is connected to a data line, other than the receiving data line, it sends the query telegram back to the configuration subscriber. A network distributor enters port information on the further input/output ports of the network distributor, to which further data lines are connected into the query telegram, and returns it to the configuration subscriber. The configuration subscriber subsequently generates further query telegrams, each with routing information on the basis of the port information, and sends them to the network distributor. The network distributor outputs them on the further input/output port assigned to the respective routing information, in order to detect network subscribers connected to the respective further input/output ports.

At least one parallel processor core checks whether there are entries in the data structure, and, if so, processes subtasks from the work package of the program the priority level at the top of the entries. An expected computational throughput of the control task is continuously evaluated, and at least one of the priority levels is dynamically adjusted if the computational throughput of the control task increases as a result.

DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD AND AUTOMATION COMMUNICATION NETWORK
At least one distribution node with a plurality of input/output interfaces is provided in an automation communication network. Data is exchanged via telegrams with priority levels. The distribution node interrupts transmission of a telegram having a first priority level if a telegram with a second, higher priority level is received. The distribution node terminates the interrupted telegram, which forms a first fragment defined by sending first fragmentation information at the end of the first fragment. A part that has not been sent forms a second fragment. The distribution node stores the second fragment together with second fragmentation information. After sending the telegram having the second, higher priority level, the distribution node sends the second fragment together with the second fragmentation information. A node, for which the telegram having the first priority level is intended, assembles the first and second fragments on the basis of the first and second fragmentation information.
