Said automation system () comprises one or several control componentries () and one or several input/output componentries () that are connected thereto. The control componentry () is provided with standard program parts () and fail-safe program parts () to communicate with the connected input/output componentries () via corresponding standard bus protocols (S) and fail-safe bus protocols (F). At least one of the input-output componentries () is controlled by both the standard program parts () via the communicated standard bus protocol (S) and the fail-safe program parts () via the communicated fail-safe bus protocol (F), said fail-safe bus protocol (F) having greater priority for said input/output componentry () than the standard bus protocol (S).
