Abstract
In an automation system, a substitute server unit is configured to receive normal telegrams exchanged between a main server unit and a client unit. The functionality of the main server unit is continuously monitored. If a failure event of the main server unit is detected, the substitute server unit is configured to activate a failure operating mode, wherein the substitute server unit and the client unit exchange failure telegrams in the failure operating mode. In the failure telegrams, the predefined user data structure of the normal telegrams is divided up into relevant data elements and optional data elements. The substitute server unit is configured to use the data values of the relevant data elements of the current normal telegram for the relevant data elements of the first failure telegram and to use the default data values specified for the optional data elements of the first failure telegram.
