This chapter provides an overview of the evolution of software for industrial automation systems.

    It starts by exploring the process of creating software for automation and the important role that real-time software plays in this context. It continues with the implementation of software for control purposes in production system automation, product automation, and cyber-physical system automation, explaining the methods and procedures used. In this area, solution concepts for software development based on different approaches are illustrated in selected application areas, culminating in an examination of fundamental architectural paradigms.

    Readers who engage with this chapter will gain insight into methods, procedures, and solutions to the following questions:

    How are automation systems implemented using software in industrial environments, and what are the challenges associated with real-time software?

    What programming languages and concepts are used in industrial practice to implement systems in industrial facilities, products, and cyber-physical automation?

    What basic control paradigms are available and how are software-based automation system architectures implemented with their help?

    This chapter explains how modern software development goes beyond the mere programming of sequences and outlines the development approaches prevalent in this field.
