Abstract

  • Vorrichtung und Verfahren zur Synchronisation von an mehreren Einheiten ablaufenden Prozessen.
  • Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, mit einfachen Mitteln eine Synchronisation vieler Prozesse herbeizuführen.
  • Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht darin, dass ein zentral erzeugter Systemtakt (7) mittels Feld-Bus (10) an sämtliche am Prozess beteiltigten Einheiten verteilt wird und dass an den am Prozess beteiligten Einheiten Vorrichtungen (11) zur Multiplikation des Systemtakts vorgesehen sind.
