A network for data transmission, in particular in automation technology, includes: a) a plurality of terminals, b) a common gateway for external connection of the network with the plurality of terminals to an external data transmission network, c) data connections between the common gateway and individual terminals of the plurality of terminals, and d) a plurality of OPC-UA servers. One of the plurality of OPC-UA servers is in each case assigned to the individual terminals, and individual OPC-UA servers communicate with corresponding terminals so that the individual terminals are addressable by the external data transmission network according to OPC-UA. A software component, which creates one of the OPC-UA servers, is in each case stored in the individual terminals. The common gateway loads the software components for creating the individual OPC-UA servers from the terminals and executes them in the common gateway.

Network for data transmission

Methods are disclosed for testing the functionality of a system element to be used inside a control and/or data processing system as well as, in essentially the opposite direction, for designing a system model having at least one transmission function for modeling a control and/or data transmission system with at least one system element. A data-processing device for performing this method is also disclosed, which device comprises a signal unit that can be coupled to a constructed system element for producing a control and/or data transmission system, for reading out, querying or receiving a signal output of the system element in response to a predetermined signal voltage applied at the system element, an evaluation unit for evaluating the signal output as a function of the input signal in order to analyze the system element, and a processing unit for associating the analyzed system element with a transmission function.
