Abstract
A motor drive system includes a motor drive processor, a motor drive memory component, a server, and a display that displays a machine readable code, wherein the motor drive forms a secure wireless connection with a smart device once the smart device has scanned the machine readable code.
Claims20
An industrial automation system comprising:
- an automation component configured to execute instructions to perform an industrial automation operation;
- a memory component in communication with the automation component and configured to store data related to the operation of the automation component;
- a local server in communication with the automation component, wherein the local server is configured to enable communication via a network;
- a display configured to display a dynamic machine readable code;
- and a mobile device configured to:
- scan the dynamic machine readable code;
- process the dynamic machine readable code;
- and
- communicate with a remote server based at least in part on information encoded in the dynamic machine readable code;
- wherein the automation component is configured to form a network connection with the mobile device once the mobile device has communicated with the remote server, wherein once the network connection is formed, the automation component may be at least partially controlled by the mobile device.
