Abstract

An extension device for one or more automation devices in an industrial system is provided. Industrial data processing units capable of performing data processing based on one or more artificial neural networks are provided. To enable and/or accelerate one or more computations in an industrial system, thereby simplifying integration of artificial intelligence into the industrial system, and to simplify data exchange between an extension device capable of processing data using artificial intelligence and an automation device, one or more results of the one or more computations are obtained. The results indicate one or more states of the industrial system. The one or more results are provided via a process state model shared with the automation device to monitor and/or control the industrial system.
