Abstract
A method for updating a control program of an automation system with data migration of a program state of the control program is provided. The method comprises generating a first migration function for mapping a first data element to a second data element, interrupting a cyclic execution of a first control program, determining a value of the first data element, where the determined value of the first data element describes a program state of the first control program at the time of the interruption, and mapping the value of the first data element to the second data element by executing a migration function.
