Abstract
An automation system network can have a host connected to a first device via a network with the first device having a processor that assigns a first address to the first device, imports factory information from a second device connected to the first device via the network, and assigns a second address for the second device. At least one automation activity may be executed with the first device and the first and second addresses are employed to conduct device-to-device communications.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- activating a host connected to a first device and a second device via a network, the first device comprising a processor;
- assigning a first address to the first device with the processor in response to factory information imported from the first device, the first address comprising at least one identifier supplied by the host and at least one identifier corresponding with the factory information from the first device;
- assigning a second address to the second device with the processor in response to factory information imported from the second device, the second address comprising at least one identifier supplied by the host and at least one identifier corresponding with the factory information from the second device;
- executing at least one automation activity with the first device;
- employing the first and second addresses to conduct device-to-device communications;
- and
- conducting a first two-way communication between the second device and the host, the first two-way communication executes a functionality strategy generated by the in response to connection of the second device to the network, the functionality strategy comprising a translation aspect to allow communications between two different communications protocols respectively utilized by the first device and the second device.
