Method for Controlling an Industrial Automation Device or Process
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an industrial automation device or process comprising a control unit, at least one actuator and at least one device arranged for wireless communication with said control unit of said process, wherein an output value from a process or device is determined and compared to a reference value, the method comprising:
- determining at least one characteristic or communication parameter of a wireless transmission,statistically processing the at least one characteristic or communication parameter and supplying an estimated correction value to said control unit, andselecting a control strategy dependent on the value or values of the at least one characteristic or communication parameter of the wireless transmission.

Abstract
A method for controlling an industrial automation device or process including a control unit, at least one actuator, and at least one device arranged for wireless communication with the control unit. The method determines characteristics of the wireless transmissions used to communicate sensor and/or actuator data to the control unit. The method, a system and a graphic interface enable a user to select a control strategy dependent on a value or values of the characteristics of the wireless communications.
