Abstract
An automation network provides packet-based communication between the host and a client, wherein the client determines output values from the host in the event of errors in the communication between the host and the client, where the determination of output data can be performed in a separate local processing module in accordance with a less complex method than on the host, such that it becomes possible to perform complex open-loop and closed-loop control tasks on the host even in the case of mobile clients or other clients that are difficult to wire.
