Abstract
A method for operating a network, such as an automation network, for example, has multiple node devices provided that are networked to one another. There is a global time available, and the node devices record their operating parameters. The operating parameters are allocated to a respective address element as content elements in order to be stored in a tensorial database structure. Control or adaptation of the operation of the network with its node devices and couplings is facilitated thereby. The method is suitable particularly for use in supply networks, automated production installations, communication networks, transport networks and logistical networks. The proposed storing allows easy visualisation, depiction and evaluation of operating states of the network and of its node devices.
