Abstract
A method for automated configuration of an industrial controller comprises the steps of providing an identification from an industrial controller to a server connected to said industrial controller via a network, said identification identifying said industrial controller, and receiving, from said server via said network, an industrial program and/or a parameter for an industrial program in accordance with said identification.
Claims18
A method for automated configuration of an industrial controller comprising:
- providing, by said industrial controller, an identification to a server connected to said industrial controller via a network, said identification identifying said industrial controller;
- receiving, by said industrial controller, from said server via said network in response to providing said identification to said server, a list of industrial programs available for configuration;
- selecting, by said industrial controller, from said list of industrial programs, a desired industrial program;
- requesting, by said industrial controller, said desired industrial program from said server via said network;
- and
- receiving, by said industrial controller, said desired industrial program in accordance with said identification from said server via said network.

A method for automated configuration of an industrial controller, comprising:
- receiving, at a server, an identification from an industrial controller connected to said server via a network, said identification identifying said industrial controller;
- providing, to said industrial controller via said network and in response to said identification received from said industrial controller, a list of industrial programs available for configuration on said industrial controller;
- receiving, from said industrial controller via said network, a request for a desired industrial program, said request being representative of a selection of said desired industrial program by said industrial controller based on said list of industrial programs;
- and
- providing said desired industrial program to said industrial controller via said network in accordance with said identification.
2 more elements
An industrial controller, comprising:
- an identification unit adapted to provide an identification from said industrial controller to a server connected to said industrial controller via a network, said identification identifying said industrial controller;
- a controller receiving unit adapted to receive, from said server via said network in response to said identification, a list of industrial programs available for configuration;
- and
- a controller processing unit adapted to select, from said list of industrial programs, a desired industrial program, and to request said desired industrial program from said server via said network;
- wherein said controller receiving unit is adapted to receive, from said server via said network, said desired industrial program in accordance with said identification.
2 more elements
A server for an industrial controller, comprising:
- a server receiving unit adapted to receive an identification from an industrial controller connected to said server via a network, said identification identifying said industrial controller;
- and
- a configuration unit adapted to provide to said industrial controller via said network and in response to said identification received from said industrial controller, a list of industrial programs available for configuration on said industrial controller;
- wherein said server receiving unit is adapted to receive, from said industrial controller via said network, a request for a desired industrial program of the list of industrial programs, said request being representative of a selection of said desired industrial program by said industrial controller;
- and
- wherein said configuration unit is adapted to provide said desired industrial program to said industrial controller via said network in accordance with said identification.
3 more elements
A system for automated configuration of an industrial controller comprising:
- a server and at least one industrial controller connected to said server via a network, said server comprising:
- a server receiving unit adapted to receive an identification from said at least one industrial controller, said identification identifying said at least one industrial controller;
- and
- a configuration unit adapted to provide to said at least one industrial controller via said network and in response to said identification received from said at least one controller, a list of industrial control programs available for configuration on said at least one industrial controller;
- wherein said server receiving unit is adapted to receive, from said at least one industrial controller via said network, a request for a desired industrial program;
- and
- wherein said configuration unit is adapted to provide said desired industrial program to said at least one industrial controller via said network in accordance with said identification;
- and
- said at least one industrial controller comprising:
- an identification unit adapted to provide said identification from said at least one industrial controller to said server;
- a controller receiving unit adapted to receive, from said server via said network in response to said identification, said list of industrial programs available for configuration;
- and
- a controller processing unit adapted to select, from among said list, said desired industrial program, and to request said desired industrial program from said server via said network;
- wherein said controller receiving unit is adapted to receive, from said server via said network, said desired industrial program in accordance with said identification.
