Configuring processors in a target system includes' prompting a user to select workload units to use in the configuration, prompting the user to input a quantity of processing power required in terms of partition workload capacity required, obtaining a system work capacity for the target system in the appropriate units from a look-up table, and calculating the number of partition processors. The number of partition processors equals the total number of system processors, times the partition workload capacity divided by the system work capacity. The calculated number of partition processors is tested to see if it is within a predetermined percentage of the next full processor increment. If within the predetermined percentage, then using dedicated processors is recommended, otherwise using shared processors is recommended. The calculated number of partition processors and the recommended use of shared or dedicated processors is displayed to the user for validation or changing of the values. After validation, the processors are configured according to the settings determined by the routine.

The invention relates to a sensor and evaluation system for capturing data at a measuring station (3), in particular for use in double sensors for determining end positions and limit values. The individual sensors (1, 1', 2, 2', 16, 16') are operated as sensor pairs (1'', 2'', 16'') by a largely shared control circuit consisting of two connecting lines (5, 6) with an electric current or voltage of alternate polarity. A state of a sensor (1, 1', 2, 2', 16, 16') is transmitted on the corresponding half-wave of the sensor current and evaluated by a switching amplifier (13) in relation to polarity and amplitude. Said sensor and evaluation system reduces the number of connecting lines required. In addition, interference from neighboring sensors is largely excluded, so that sensors can be mounted more closely together in a system. Said sensor and evaluation system is especially suited for equipment required to comply with the DIN 19234 (NAMUR) standard.
