The communication system includes multiple participating devices connected with each other by a data line. At least one connection device for connection to a corresponding participant device defined as associated with it is connected to the data line. The communication system is preferably an IP network and with respective connection devices defined as associated with corresponding participating devices, which are used to connect portable operating and display terminals with the participating devices. For definite identification of the corresponding participating device associated with the respective connection devices, the connection devices include readable means of identifying the corresponding participating device, e.g. including a stored IP address, which is readable by the connected interface device, i.e. the terminal.

Communication system with connectable interface device

In a method for controlling and/or regulating industrial processes (), a standard operating system () with a real-time module or a real-time operating system is implemented on a hardware platform () and simultaneously at least two real-time applications () with characteristic real-time requirements are active under the real-time module or under the real-time operating system. In particular, simultaneously with the real-time applications (), at least one non-real-time application () is active, and the real-time requirements of each real-time application () are predetermined on the specification of the applicable industrial processes (). Each real-time application (), by means of an allocation module () running on the hardware platform (), is allocated a maximally available component () of a maximally available real-time component () of one operating cycle ().
