System, method and recording medium for driving a programmable logic controller

A method for driving a programmable logic controller, applicable to a server and an adaptive unit, wherein the adaptive unit comprises a hardware layer management module and a connection port connected to the hardware layer management module, the server is electrically connected to the adaptive unit, the server stores at least one controller query data and at least one controller driving data corresponding to the at least one controller query data, the method comprising:

• when the hardware layer management module determines that the connection port is electrically coupled to a programmable logic controller, outputting a controller installation message to the server;
• the server outputting at least one controller query data to the hardware layer management module according to the controller installation message;
• the hardware layer management module transmitting the at least one controller query data to the programmable logic controller, and when the programmable logic controller sends back a controller response message, transmitting the controller response message to the server;
• and
• the server generating a control data corresponding to the programmable logic controller based on the at least one controller driving data according to the controller response message, and transferring the control data to the hardware layer management module, for the hardware layer management module to control the programmable logic controller.

A recording medium, for storing a computer readable program code which is read by a server and an adaptive unit to collaboratively execute a method for driving a programmable logic controller, wherein the adaptive unit comprises a hardware layer management module and a connection port connected to the hardware layer management module, the server is electrically connected to the adaptive unit, the server stores at least one controller query data and at least one controller driving data corresponding to the at least one controller query data, and the method comprises:

• when the hardware layer management module determines that the connection port is electrically coupled to a programmable logic controller, the hardware layer management module outputting a controller installation message to the server;
• the server outputting at least one controller query data to the hardware layer management module according to the controller installation message;
• the hardware layer management module transmitting the at least one controller query data to the programmable logic controller, and when the programmable logic controller sends back a controller response message, transmitting the controller response message to the server;
• and
• the server generating a control data corresponding to the programmable logic controller based on the at least one controller driving data according to the controller response message, and transferring the control data to the hardware layer management module, for the hardware layer management module to control the programmable logic controller.
