A method and an automation component for identifying a process-disrupting automation component in an industrial automation assembly, wherein a process disruption is determined in a first automation component and examined by a first local analysis device, where an automation component arranged upstream and/or an automation component arranged downstream is first determined by each automation component, an interrogation message is sent from a first automation component to a second automation component and the same interrogation message or a further interrogation message is recursively sent by the second automation component to a third automation component arranged upstream or downstream of the second automation component and processed, where in the event of a locally determined disruption, the relevant automation component sends a response message, which is back-propagated to the origin and signaled such that a decentralized error analysis becomes possible, even with a changing system topology, without the need for any redesign work.

A configuration dataset indicative of a setting of one or more operational policies of a control of an industrial field device and a measurement dataset indicative of an event associated with the industrial field device is read from a distributed database. An analysis of the measurement dataset is performed, depending on the configuration dataset.

A method for computer-aided processing of state messages in an automation installation, wherein state messages are generated by components and detected with their generation points in time, where causative states present at the generation point of the state message or beforehand in other components are determined for a multiplicity of state messages of a respective component and the current state in the generated state message, where the propagation time between occurrence of the respective causative state and the generation point of the state message is calculated for each causative state, where groups are formed from the causative states, where in a respective group all causative states have at least the common feature that they were determined for the same current state in the respective component, and where at least one statistical parameter is determined from the propagation times which belong to the causative states of the same group and stored.

An electronic display apparatus comprising a control device and an electronic display panel that can be turned off by the control device. In order to support an energy-saving state in which information can continue to be displayed at least to a certain extent, an electrochromic display is additionally provided that is switchable into different display states by the control device. The invention furthermore relates to an installation appertaining to automation technology, and to a method for operating an electronic display apparatus.

Method of making integrated-circuit stacked-cell solar module

A method for eroding material, particularly material in a thin-film structure, that includes at least one thin-film arranged over at least one transparent layer, includes irradiating the thin-film with a laser pulse through the transparent layer. The laser pulse has a wavelength in the absorption region of the thin-film. The irradiated thin-film region, together with any layers lying above the thin-film region, are popped off, without any residue, from the transparent layer.
