Abstract
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.
