Abstract
A gateway for communicatively coupling one or more automation devices to an industrial controller for controlling the one or more automation devices includes an application layer component that implements a communication endpoint of a control application of the industrial controller.
Claims19
A gateway for communicatively coupling one or more automation devices to an industrial controller for controlling the one or more automation devices, the gateway comprising:
- an application layer component configured to implement a communication endpoint of a control application of the industrial controller.
A system for distributed automation data processing, the system comprising:
- a gateway;
- and
- an industrial controller,
- wherein the gateway comprises an application layer component that implements a communication endpoint of a control application of the industrial controller, and
- wherein the application layer component on the gateway is configured for pre-processing the automation data into an application layer format suitable to be processed by the control application on the industrial controller.
A method of operating a gateway in an industrial automation system, the method comprising:
- implementing, by an application layer component, a communication endpoint of a control application or an application layer data service of an industrial controller for controlling one or more automation devices by terminating one or more communications links between the gateway and the one or more automation devices.
In a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions executable by one or more processors to operate a gateway in an industrial automation system, the instructions comprising:
- implementing, by an application layer component, a communication endpoint of a control application or an application layer data service of an industrial controller for controlling one or more automation devices by terminating one or more communications links between the gateway and the one or more automation devices.
