Estimating the term…
An industrial automation system comprising a processor with an updating component coupled to automation devices via a network. The updating component reads control information from machine readable representations of the devices and populates a data structure with the control information. The updating component also updates configuration information of a device from data stored in a file object and/or the data structure, further allowing this transfer to be fragmented into a plurality of messages if the configuration information exceeds a threshold. As well, a vendor deployment methodology is provided that embeds devices and firmware for devices with a Device Type Manager (DTM) prior to deployment and can optionally allow post deployment updates to the DTM.
An apparatus comprising:
A method for creating a data structure in an industrial controller, comprising:
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
