APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF CONTROL LOGIC

摘要

Approaches are provided whereby synchronization is achieved between control logic at an automation controller and a representation of this logic at a communication network. Control logic is initially deployed to an automatic controller and a representation of this control logic is stored at the communication network. The automation controller is located remotely from the network. When a change is made to the representation of the control logic at the network, the control logic is re-deployed to the automation controller so that the operator of the control logic is synchronized to the representation. The synchronization is effective to allow a service center to remotely service the control logic without the need for traveling to the automation controller.

1. A method of synchronizing information for an automation controller with a representation of the information stored at a communication network, the method comprising:
deploying control logic to an automation controller and storing a representation of the control logic at a communication network, the automation controller being located remotely from the network; when a change is made to the representation of the control logic at the network, re-deploying the control logic to the automation controller so that the operation of the control logic at the automation controller is synchronized with the representation of control logic at the network, the synchronizing being effective to allow a service center to remotely service the control logic at the network without the need for traveling to the automation controller.
