Abstract: A system and method includes partitioning a network into first and second sub-networks connected by a network connection. A first component with first configuration data and a first local server are located in the first sub-network; a second component with second configuration data and a second local server are located in the second sub-network. The first configuration data is stored on the first and second local servers. The network connection is interrupted and the first configuration data is updated on the first local server. The network connection is re-connected, and if the first configuration data on the second local server is unchanged, the first configuration data on the second local server is overwritten.

Abstract: A method for conveying messages between a first software application in a first container and a second software application in a second container includes receiving, by a first connectivity service an ordered sequence of messages sent by the first application; transmitting, by the first connectivity service, at least two copies of each message to a second connectivity service, wherein the at least two copies are routed on at least partially redundant paths and wherein each copy is indicative of a position of the original message in the original ordered sequence; and forwarding, by the second connectivity service, at least one copy of each message to the second application, in the order given by the original ordered sequence.

Abstract: A platform for actuation of at least one industrial field device in an industrial installation having control software includes: an execution environment, in which the control software is runnable; and an external interface for communicating between the control software and the at least one industrial field device. The execution environment has virtual hardware which, from a point of view of the control software, behaves in a manner of the at least one industrial field device. A switching unit is connected between the virtual hardware and the external interface. The switching unit bidirectionally translates data, interchanged between the control software and the virtual hardware, for communication with the at least one industrial field device via the external interface.
