Abstract
A redundant automation system and a method for operating the redundant automation system which is provided with a first subsystem and a second subsystem that each process a control program while controlling a technical process, one of these subsystems operating as a master and the other subsystem operating as a slave, and the slave assuming the function of the master if the master fails such that it becomes possible to dispense with temporally synchronous communication between the participants with regard to the synchronization of the program processing in the two subsystems, thus reducing the communication load.
