Symbolic access of industrial device systems and methods based on an on-premise gateway device

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes a control system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request comprising a control command to adjust one or more operations of an industrial automation device from a requesting device;
• identifying the industrial automation device based on the request;
• generating template data based on the control command;
• and
• sending the template data to the industrial automation device based on the control command, wherein the industrial automation device comprises a plurality of datasets associated with a plurality of symbol object instances, wherein each symbol object instance is associated with one or more template object instances configured to characterize a respective dataset of the plurality of datasets stored in a memory component accessible to the industrial automation device, wherein each of the plurality of symbol object instances is categorized with respect to a plurality of categories comprising an identity of the industrial automation device, a state of the industrial automation device, a runtime status of the industrial automation device, maintenance status associated with the industrial automation device, sustainability information of the industrial automation device, or any combination thereof, and wherein the template data comprises one or more instantaneous values associated with at least one of the plurality of datasets, one or more of the plurality of categories, and the control command.

• receiving a request to access data of an industrial automation device from a requesting device;
• identifying the industrial automation device based on the request;
• sending a query for template data to the industrial automation device based on the request, wherein the industrial automation device comprises a plurality of datasets associated with a plurality of symbol object instances, wherein each symbol object instance is associated with one or more template object instances configured to characterize a respective dataset of the plurality of datasets stored in a memory component accessible to the industrial automation device, wherein each of the plurality of symbol object instances is categorized with respect to a plurality of categories comprising an identity of the industrial automation device, a state of the industrial automation device, a runtime status of the industrial automation device, maintenance status associated with the industrial automation device, sustainability information of the industrial automation device, or any combination thereof, and wherein the template data comprises one or more instantaneous values associated with at least one of the plurality of datasets and one or more of the plurality of categories;
• and
• sending the template data to the requesting device.
