Abstract: Techniques to facilitate protection of control system content used in an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, the control system content for use in the industrial automation environment is received, wherein the control system content comprises controller program code that directs an industrial controller to drive a machine system. Content protection instructions for the control system content are also received, wherein the content protection instructions comprise restrictions on execution of the control system content. An execution license that includes process-related constraints for the control system content is generated based on the content protection instructions. The execution license is applied to the control system content to generate protected content, wherein use of the control system content is granted subject to the process-related constraints of the execution license.

Abstract: An improved system for establishing rules in a firewall for an industrial network is disclosed. Rules are established at an application level, identifying, for example, actions to occur between two devices. The action may be, for example, read data table or get attribute, and each action may require multiple message packets to be transmitted between the two devices in order to complete. A network device executing the firewall is configured to receive message packets from a sending device and to inspect the message packets to determine which action the sending device is requesting to perform. If the action corresponds to a rule in the database, the network device manages communications between the two devices until all message packets have been transmitted. Thus, a single action, or application, may be defined in the rules database to permit multiple data packets to be communicated between the devices.

Abstract: An automation control system is provided that includes delta scripts that describe one or more changes of the stored state information. The delta scripts may be useful to enable one or more other components of the control system and the one or more other components apply the one or more delta scripts to update state information stored on the one or more other components based upon the one or more changes.
