Claims20
An industrial process control system comprising:
- a controller coupled to a field device;
- and
- an alert server coupled to the controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to receive alert information from the field device in a first protocol and communicate the alert information to the alert server in a second protocol.
A method, comprising:
- collecting, via a controller of an industrial control system, alerts from a field device in a first protocol;
- transferring, via the controller of the industrial control system, the alerts to an alert server in a second protocol;
- and
- providing the alerts to a plurality of components of the industrial control system, wherein the first protocol is different from the second protocol.
A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium comprising executable code, the executable code comprising instructions for:
- collecting, via a controller of an industrial control system, alerts from a field device in a first protocol;
- transferring, via the controller of the industrial control system, the alerts to an alert server in a second protocol;
- and
- providing the alerts to a plurality of components of the industrial control system, wherein the first protocol is different from the second protocol.
