Method for consistent storage of data in an industrial controller

摘要

A system and method for employing a file system and file system services on the industrial controller. The file system allows industrial control programs to implement many functions previously performed within the industrial control program and stored in the same memory as the industrial control program. An execution engine is provided that interprets instructions included in an industrial control program. The instructions utilize services in the file system for including user defined routine files loaded from local or remote locations, to load and unload recipe files from local and remote locations, to log and retrieve measured data and trend data to files at local or remote locations, to select different operating systems and to select a running program from a plurality of running programs utilizing the file system.

1. An editor, comprising:
a processor, coupled to a memory, that executes or facilitates execution of computer-executable components, comprising:
an editing component configured to, in response to receipt of an editing input, add at least one file system instruction to a control program,wherein the at least one file system instruction is configured to, when processed by an execution engine of an industrial controller, cause the industrial controller to utilize a file system service to
load an operating system of the industrial controller based on the control program,load, via a web service, a program routine file from a first memory that is separate from a second memory of the industrial controller to the second memory, andfrom a recipe file defining two or more process parameters stored in the first memory or a third memory that is separate from the second memory, load the two or more process parameters defined by the recipe file to the second memory,wherein execution of the program routine file by the industrial controller facilitates execution of an industrial process by the industrial controller based on the two or more process parameters.
