Interface adapter

A method comprising:

• storing, at a specific memory location of an adapter memory of an interface adapter, a configuration table associated with a first device utilizing a native interface, the first device coupled to a first interface module of the interface adapter, the configuration table indicative of:
• capabilities of the first device,
• data variables supported by the first device,
• locations of the data variables within a device memory of the first device,
• sizes of the data variables, and
• types of the data variables, and
• providing a second device with access, by utilizing a standardized interface, to one or more data variables of the data variables based on the configuration table via a second interface module of the interface adapter, the standardized interface different from the native interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• storing, at a specific memory location of an adapter memory of an interface adapter, a configuration table associated with a first device utilizing a native interface, the first device coupled to a first interface module of the interface adapter, the configuration table indicative of:
• capabilities of the first device,
• data variables supported by the first device,
• locations of the data variables within a device memory of the first device,
• sizes of the data variables, and
• types of the data variables, and
• providing a second device with access, by utilizing a standardized interface, to one or more data variables of the data variables based on the configuration table, the standardized interface different from the native interface.
