Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to end devices (e.g., meters, sensors, pumps, etc.) of an industrial monitoring system or an industrial control system. A system includes an end device having processing circuitry configured to execute instructions stored in at least one memory device to enable the end device to collect and store a plurality of measurements of operational parameters of a monitored system in the at least one memory device according to a dynamic mapping that is updatable.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an end device, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to execute instructions stored in at least one memory device to enable the end device to collect and store a plurality of measurements of operational parameters of a monitored system in the at least one memory device according to a dynamic mapping, and wherein the dynamic mapping is configured to be updatable.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by processing circuitry of an electronic device, the instructions comprising:
- instructions to receive user input requesting an addition of a field to a dynamic map of an end device, wherein the user input comprises:
- a first user input identifying a piece of information stored or collected by the end device to be associated with the field,
- a second user input identifying a location in a memory device of the end device to be associated with the field, and
- a third user input identifying a data type, a data format, or both, to be associated with the field;
- and
- instructions to add the field in the dynamic map based on the user input.
A method, comprising:
- changing a mapping of an end device of an industrial control system from a first dynamic map to a second dynamic map, and wherein the first and second dynamic maps respectively define memory locations and data formats for storing measurement data collected by the end device during operation, and wherein the first and second dynamic maps are different from one another.
