SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

摘要

According to at least one embodiment a system for discovering configuring and monitoring automatic control devices is provided. The system includes a mobile computing device that implements a control device interface. The control device interface provides a discovery request to at least one automatic control device in data communication with a network the discovery request being encoded according to a first protocol; provides a request for identification to the at least one automatic control device the request for identification being encoded according to a second protocol; and identifies the at least one automatic control device as an automatic control device based on the response to the request for identification.
