System for accessing and browsing a PLC provided within a network |
摘要 |
Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method, comprising: recognizing, by a PLC, that a memory device has been connected to the PLC; and configuring the PLC via a PLC executable software program resident on the memory device. Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method, comprising: via a PLC network interface: presenting a PLC network as a namespace shell extension of an operating system of a non-PLC information device; and rendering, to a user of the non-PLC information device, the PLC network as a node of a network. Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method, comprising: via a PLC network interface: presenting a PLC network as a namespace shell extension of an operating system of a non-PLC information device; and searching the PLC network for at least one item corresponding to one or more search parameters. |

1. A non-PLC (programmable logic controller) information device, comprising:
a memory; a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to provide: a PLC network interface configured to:
connect to a PLC network selected from one of a Profibus network and a Point-to-Point Interface PLC network;hierarchically present the PLC network as a namespace shell extension of an operating system of the non-PLC information device such that the non-PLC information device interprets the PLC network as the namespace shell extension;render the PLC network as a node of a network to which the non-PLC information device is connected, andinitiate a search of at least one of files and content of files within any one or more of the PLC network, a PLC coupled to the PLC network, and a PLC memory device coupled to the PLC in response to a user entering one or more search parameter values via the non-PLC information device. |
