Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0152500A2] The invention relates to a system and a method for transmitting data via the internet between at least one client (1a .. 1n) and at least one server (4) and especially for operating and observing an automation system. The aim of the invention is to provide an internet semaphore that is valuable throughout the entire network. The server (4) is provided with resource means (20) for a connection. The internet semaphore is considered of having been received when a connection is successfully established between a client (1a, 1b .. 1n) and the server (4). It is thus guaranteed that the clients (1a, 1b .. 1n) are synchronised on the server, i.e., at any time, one client (1a, 1b .. 1n) only has, especially writing, access to the server (4).
