Abstract
In a method and device to control a multiple-machine arrangement with at least one first controller and one second controller, specific data packages for the controllers are generated, these specific data packages are transferred to the controllers, the transferred data packages are selectively activated, and downloading of the data packages is implemented in the controllers as a result of an activation, in particular installation of at least one program and/or one configuration file.
Claims14
A method to control a multiple-machine arrangement comprising at least a first controller and a second controller, said method comprising the steps of:
- generating specific data packages respectively for said first controller and said second controller;
- transferring the specific data packages respectively to the first controller and to the second controller;
- selectively activating the respective specific data packages in said first controller and in said second controller;
- and
- downloading data in the respective data packages to the first controller and the second controller upon said activation, to implement at least one of installation of at least one program and installation of at least one configuration file.
A device to control a multiple-machine arrangement comprising at least a first controller and a second controller, said method comprising:
- a computerized system provided with specific data packages respectively for said first controller and said second controller;
- said computerized system being configured to transfer the specific data packages respectively to the first controller and to the second controller;
- said computerized system being configured to selectively activate the respective specific data packages in said first controller and in said second controller;
- and
- said computerized system being configured to download data in the respective data packages to the first controller and the second controller upon said activation, to implement at least one of installation of at least one program and installation of at least one configuration file.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with programming instructions and being loadable into a computerized distribution network of a multiple-machine arrangement comprising at least one first controller and at least one second controller, said programming instructions causing said computerized distribution system to:
- generate specific data packages respectively for said first controller and said second controller;
- transfer the specific data packages respectively to the first controller and to the second controller;
- selectively activate the respective specific data packages in said first controller and in said second controller;
- and
- download data in the respective data packages to the first controller and the second controller upon said activation, to implement at least one of installation of at least one program and installation of at least one configuration file.
