programmable automatic control with modem for remote operation

The invention relates to an automation system (1) comprising a first automation controller (3.1) and a redundant second automation controller (3.2).

An automatic vending machine having a cylindrical container (15) for identical objects to be delivered one by one from the vending machine.

The control circuit includes a module BUS state machine (MBSM), a PCI target state machine (PTSM), an arbiter state machine (ARSM), and an address decode logic (ADL) circuit.

A programmable logic controller is disclosed which comprises a router having a router backplane which is connected to the programmable logic controller.

PLC is the acronym for a programmable logic controller, which is sometimes also referred to as a programmable controller.

Operation is automated by a PLC.

The operating system is fundamentally a state machine.

The components - variator, functional automate, safety and controlling automate - are all interconnected.

The automatic regulating device (35) comprises an automatic firing device array (26) and an actuating drive (27) located in a common housing (29).

A state machine (400) controls the programming steps.

The controller may be implemented as a state machine.

To the second state machine (202) are fed: a second signal (B) to be compared, an output signal (PA) of the first state machine (200) and a handshaking signal (RA) of the first state machine (200).
