A method for operating an automation system having at least two subsystems which are each provided with a control program, wherein relevant data from one subsystem is transmitted to the other subsystem within the scope of an updating phase of the automation system to transfer process control from a solo mode of one of the subsystems to a redundant control mode with another of the subsystems so as to facilitate updating.
