Abstract
The present application relates to the technical field of industrial data processing, and in particular relates to a field data processing method, apparatus and system, which are used to realize the timely processing of field data. In the embodiments of the present application, a field data processing apparatus located on an industrial site of an industrial system receives field data from at least a field apparatus on the industrial site, and processes the received field data and provides the processing result of the field data. In this way, untimely processing of field data can be avoided.
Claims5
An apparatus control method, usable to control a field data processing apparatus on an industrial site of an industrial system, the apparatus control method comprising:
- receiving, at the field data processing apparatus, field data from at least a field apparatus located on the industrial site and generating field data, processing the field data and providing a processing result of the field data to a server or displaying the processing result of the field data on the industrial site;
- and
- sending a field data acquisition permission request message to the server to request a right to acquire the field data;
- and
- receiving, at the server located in the industrial system and connected with the field data processing apparatus, the field data acquisition permission request message, determining whether the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data, sending upon the field data processing apparatus being determined to have the right to acquire said field data, a field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message to the field apparatus, the field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message being usable to indicate that the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data;
- and
- receiving, at the field data processing apparatus, the field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message, and determining that the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data according to the field data acquisition permission acknowledgement.
An industrial system, comprising:
- at least a field apparatus, located on an industrial site of the industrial system;
- a field data processing apparatus, located on the industrial site, the field data processing apparatus being configured to:
- receive field data from at least a field apparatus on the industrial site, process the field data, and
- provide a processing result of the field data;
- and
- a server, located in the industrial system and connected with the field data processing apparatus;
- the field data processing apparatus being configured to:
- send a field data acquisition permission request message to the server to request a right to acquire the field data;
- and
- the server being configured to:
- receive the field data acquisition permission request message, and
- determine whether the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data, and
- send, upon the field data processing apparatus being determined to have the right to acquire said field data, a field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message to the field apparatus, the field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message being usable to indicate that the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data, and the field data processing apparatus being further configured to:
- receive the field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message,
- determine that the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data according to the field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message, and
- send processed field data from the field data processing apparatus to the server.
A server, the server being configured to control a field data processing apparatus on an industrial site, the server comprising:
- a receiver, to receive a field data acquisition permission request message from the field data processing apparatus on the industrial site, the field data acquisition permission request message being usable for the field data processing apparatus to request a right to acquire field data from at least a field apparatus on the industrial site;
- a processor, to determine whether the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data;
- a sender, to send upon the field data processing apparatus being determined to have the right to acquire said field data, a field data acquisition permission acknowledgement message to the field apparatus, the field data acquisition permission acknowledgment message being usable to indicate that the field data processing apparatus has the right to acquire the field data;
- and
- receive processed field data, associated with the field apparatus, from the field data processing apparatus.
